Oh, really? Wherever did you get that idea? Considering that Americans actually own more than half of the personally-possessed firearms in the world, we must be seething with fear and totally non-secure.

Or, to be polite, that you do not understand “the science of statistics”. I suggest this because the presence or absence of a weapon in the home, just like its use in self-defense, is a reaction to the environment – it is not causal. I do hope you have found the Kellerman survey to be ridiculous; his “work” is tantamount to finding that insulin causes diabetes.

Yes, proper firearms use requires responsibility on the part of the possessor. I am also keenly aware of the abject stupidity displayed by many people. I am also aware of something the laymen is not: the difficulty of solving any tactical encounter with satisfactory results for myself, the thus, and the authorities judging my actions after the fact. However, just as with the vote, a right is not subject to preconditions.

I urge you to look up the case, Warren v. DC. Put yourself in the victim’s position. Then, assert that you would prescribe the same thing for others: a “legal” limit on their ability to defend themselves from imprisonment and rape.

Americans pretend that this country operates by the will of its citizens. Throughout history, the ruling class has always reserved for themselves the right to bear arms.

What class are you?

Amazing. Without first reading your post, I was going to say it’s a crossbow that the figure is holding. Spooky.

Thanks for the laugh! That’s it, exactly!

Upon reflection, I think he’s bringing relief at the gas pump.

Coming soon to a theater near you….
