How many of the other 80% would have been hit by stray bullets, possibly after they had gone through the original shooter?

How many of the 20% would know when to stop shooting, rather than starting to shoot at each other, and causing even more stray bullets?

Better watch out. Logic is raising its ugly head and the gun nuts
don't like it when that happens.

The Fox "News" monkeys have been shushing anybody who tries to talk
about gun laws. "This is not the time," they say, reaching new heights
of phony sanctimony.

Logic has nothing to do with any of the absurd babble coming from the
anti-gun crowd, it's all emotion based on lack of firearm knowledge.
It's rather akin to someone who has never even sat in an automobile
trying to comment on the operation of one.

Ignorance of guns is a virtue for anti-gun activists. AGAs also take
the view that guns have magical mind-influencing powers:
"What's for dinner honey?"
- Meatloaf and green beans.
"Not again" Blammo!

By now everyone has seen the attempted robbery of the FL Internet cafe
which was foiled by a CHL holder. In just the last few days there were
two home invasion events in FL and CT, both of which were successfully
defended by the homeowners with firearms.

When I was into trap n' skeet I had more ammo stockpiled than the
local cops, like many serious shooters I reloaded.

If Americans accept ~20,000 gun deaths per annum as an acceptable price for
their right to bear arms, who are we to judge?

Very easy to accept when the majority of those dead are criminals who
have been killed by other criminals, police or civilians. Dead criminals
are always a good thing.

Suicides need not be counted since if a gun isn't available the suicidal
person will just use other means, quite like the mass murderer who
spends months or years planning. Those simply have no relevance to guns.

Probably true. I know a number of other defense without having to fire a
shot stories that are indeed true. That's part of the problem, those
cases rarely get documented.

Homicides are down to 11,500 a year, and most of those are by-product
of the illegal drug trade. I neither buy drugs nor sell them, nor do I
take them, so I don't feel responsible for drug industry deaths.

Heard shattering glass from the other end of the house at about 2 am...
Grabbed 9mm and flashlight... Found the glass globe from the garage
ceiling fixture had apparently vibrated loose and dropped, shattering on
the concrete floor. Went back to bed.

Criminals killing other criminals is always a good thing.

Recreation and safety, and of course exercising my constitutional right.

For those who think my constitutional right should be infringed because
my hobbies make you nervous, how about we require an expensive license,
class and background check for you to be able to exercise your first
amendment rights to more than 10 persons at a time? How about we require
you to exercise that free speech with only one person allowed in the
room at a time?

I don't need anything, except for a chunk of wood for a pillow.
Everything I own is something I liked or wanted.

They don't have constitutional rights in Canada. What they have
instead is single-payer health care, and a VAT.

No, I'm not in the drug trade as most anti-gun folks seem to be. Pretty
sad how they want to take away my constitutional rights, but they think
it's ok for them to use illegal drugs. Unlike them, I've never used any
illegal drugs in my entire life. Safe relaxing time at the shooting
range or out hunting is my drug of choice, well, that and good coffee.

There were far more arms than muzzleloaders available when the second
amendment was written and there were *no* restrictions placed on the
type of arms the citizens could have. It is abundantly clear that this
was the intention, not an oversight.

Get off the computer -- your freedom of speech is limited by the
carrying power of your voice, and your freedom of the press is limited
to a hand-cranked letter press.

Great clip-- I think he shot somebody else that season, too. I
love that guy and every character he ever played-- *almost* enough
to go to NY to see him on Broadway.
