More guns = more gun violence.

In fact I encourage them to smoke more.

And drink a lot of 'shine.

And avoid doctors.

Darwin will take care of the rest.

It ain't gonna happen.

I don't understand why people get all paranoid about a problem that doesn't exist.

There's no threat to gun rights in this country.

Why don't you get fired up about a real problem, like healthcare?

And I'm not talking about being against Obamacare, which is a baby step in the right direction.

Do you have decent health insurance?

Do you know how you would pay for treatment if you got seriously ill?

Like I said in a post also, I too am not worried about it either. But it's cute to see Ike get all riled up using the f bomb carrying his stripes.

Insurance? We have the same family policy we've been paying since 1997. Our kids are grown but we keeping them on it until 26. And I have been sick. I was given about a year to live back in 2003, but I'm thankful to say that about 4 years ago I left town and seen someone that found the correct problem and I feel much better now. Lost years do to lymes from a tick bite that went undetected for years and also bacteria in my blood from teeth that went undetected and the combination of the two nearly put me six feet under before they finally figured it out. Cept I hung on more than the year or less they gave me, and it was absolute hell doing it.

Keeping the coverage going until every one down there was thoroughly disgusted with black people and totally uninterested in their plight?

I agree. Totally uncivilized.

But it's Dixie after all.

You can thank Obama for that.

In all seriousness, all internet bullshitting aside, when folks bitch to much at a ballgame or chair in front of the store I tell them: ''no matter how bad you have it, there is always someone who is worse off than you or I. And far as the country goes, things may not suite us all and theres no way everyone is going to be happy in a free country, but things could be a lot worse than they are. Be glad for what we do have.''

On the continuum of concealed heat vs open heat, the concealed heat is certainly more civilized. However on the total human quality of life continuum, concealed heat is on the barbarous, inhuman, uncivilized, opposite end of the continuum from enlightened human behavior.

Hopefully this will help with your difficulty in understanding my opposition to concealed carry, open carry, or any other sort of carry of handguns in this country.

"See? See how they are? It's the Democrats that created this entitlement violence and it's the Democrats want to keep using your tax money to feed these animals! Vote or us and we'll put a stop to it."

That is the message, after all, isn't it?

Those folks didn't riot because they want more welfare, like we are led to believe. They rioted because they are tired of being treated differently than the rest of us in so many ways.

Profound statement.
