"Then we agree - guns in houses = good, outside = not so much.
Look around you, I barely trust my fellow man when he's unarmed. That's not some flaming liberal concept either. Zimmerman? Hmmm, does he remind you of anyone?"
It ain't your place, or right, to say. A man, or a woman, has just as much right outside their home to protect themselves, their property, and their loved ones as anything else.
Not trusting your fellow human doesn't change that. Hey, I agree with you in one sense. I don't trust my fellow man either. Which is why I carry a gun everyplace I go. Never had to use it, thank God... but if I need it, its there.

So if you'd had a gun when growing up would you have killed your aggressors then?

What does that have to do with anything, other than to try and score some points?
To answer your question, I would have shot back.
But who is to say I didn't?

Never forget what this man is. You keep forgiving him his trespasses and speak to him as though he is a reasonable human being. You keep forgetting the things he's advocated. If you respond to this man again, you are being foolish.

Hello,
I don't think your fear of me is a good reason for me to be disarmed.
This incident is a tragedy. It happens to involve a gun. It is not about a gun.

I'm just trying to make it more real, to put it in a context you've actually lived, and not an abstract like a scene from a movie would be.
I guess if you have shot and killed or wounded someone then you know all about it, nm.

Weird how gun tragedies always seem to involve dead people.

do we really want to do this again?hee hee...
I'd say in this case it was definitely about the gun and the crazy guy with the gun - it does take someone to pull the trigger.
"Before embarking on a shooting rampage at a religious college that left seven people dead, the gunman, a former nursing student, moved deliberately through a school building, lining students up against a wall before gunning them down execution-style and hunting others down after they had taken cover under their desks, the authorities said Tuesday."
Trying to think of any other inanimate "just a tool" object a person could do this with and get away with it.
Never going to happen - we're a gun crazy nation and the NRA has our nuts in a jar.

Hello,
It's really not about the gun. A gun is just the tool of murder this man had. You can murder, even mass murder, with other tools.

Well, Pizz
You are free NOT to be armed. I mean, its your belief, its your right (noone is trying to pass laws to say you HAVE to be armed), its no religion, its whatever you want.
The funny thing about the gun-control argument is that one side is saying you are fine to be unarmed (if stupid) and the other side wants to take away our tools of self-defense.
Yet, even if they passed a law saying you have to have a gun... they could only leave it on your doorstep, and walk away.
But they would have a firefight if they tried to TAKE the gun away.
One is a postal drop-off, the other is a SWAT fight.
Wonder which one is right, or worth it?

Hello Wulf,
I always lament it when I find myself on the same side of an issue as you.
I know it makes me look bad to have such allies.
