The wife and I both have those permits and do carry.  Once you take away the reason for a criminal to hesitate and use that pea sized brain to think, "will they shoot back", they add bravado to their lawlessness.

While we are also NRA lifers, I am concerned with the softening of the rhetoric coming out of the NRA.  Perhaps they are lulled to sleep as well with the Repub's in office.

I hope not.

Gun Control = People Control

Gun Control...Ignorance in Action!

Free People own Firearms...Subjects Don't!

The 11th Commandment: They all fall to hardball!



One law of ballistics that has never been repealed:

Im not much of a gun person..

but I do think it is odd the DC has the toughest gun control laws AND the most crime..

I'm keepin' my good friend, 38 Smith & Wesson Detective Special, my bee bee gun (ferrel cats in the back yard) and my 12 Gauge Shot Gun......end of story!

I think that we have sufficient gun control laws in this nation,  now we need a heck of a lot more "violence control" and the moral & political guts to enforce the concequences of perpetrating violence, of any kind. 

Use a weapon in a crime, 15 years mandatory, no parole, on top of the sentence for the crime.

There's a reason the Founding Fathers wrote the Bill of Rights the way
they did. They understood--from bitter personal experience--that unless
the Constitution had built in protections for citizens against their
government, America might very well--and probably would--go the way
of so many other civilizations throughout history.

The pathetic educational system in this country fails to teach that all-
important lesson: that our system of government doesn't just grant us
rights--it was also deliberately designed to provide ironclad protections
against what our founders knew full well would be the inevitable
encroachment by government upon those rights.

But this country is so ignorant of history...so unable and unwilling to
grasp what's at stake with basic issues like this one...and, most tragically
of all, completely unaware of what we're now facing in the world, and why
we're facing it.

Today, of all days in recent history, America should be more keenly aware
and informed about the looming threat that could engulf Western
civilization in an epic struggle for the sheer survival of our way of life and
our values. But we're not. Instead, we're treated to re-runs of the horror
of that day, and no light is shed on the underlying reason why it
happened. Because it's just not politically correct--meaning possible in
this country--to do so.

Concerning gun control, it's an issue that will never be resolved. Those
who endorse it are convinced to their core that they're right. And those
who oppose it are just as committed to their position. In the midst of all
this endless argument, what's lost sight of is that the Constitution was
written the way it was for a reason. If we forget, or choose to ignore or
repudiate that reason, we will have only ourselves to blame when the
consequences that our founders knew--from understanding and
experiencing history's lessons themselves--happen as a result.

Yep, if people in Tasmania some years ago, had a rifle about the house, all 35 people killed by the maniac Bryant who let fly with shotguns and an SKS, would not be dead.  Bryant himself would be or at least maimed enough to stop his rampage.

People kill people, not guns.  I've never seen a rifle or pistol jump out of its storage place, load itself and kill someone.
