We have more gun fights today in the streets with gangs living in Lefty states that have mega gun control laws.

I hope you were kidding...?
Only an idiot plays fair in a gunfight.

That wouldn't take very long, now would it? Oh wait, you said smart assed, I misread it as just smart Canucks.

We can call it "Dukes Law" after John Wayne. You know, the real gunslinging cowboy who fought in every American war from the Civil War through Vietnam............They'll love that. It conforms to the right wing perception of reality.

You know, I really don't care. I have no problem with responsible people owning guns.
I just don't understand the rightwing obssession with it. I've shot guns before.........Yeah, so? I can think of a few things I would rather do with my time.

Yeah, I know, it's from a television program...

But it summarizes my position pretty well...

Gun Control Laws

I'm more comfortable being armed...but I've always been armed, even as a child.

As I'm 58 yrs old, and have never shot anyone, the argument that I should be unarmed doesn't convince me that the world would be a better place if I, or millions like me, were unarmed.

Hell, everybody else is armed.
