  1. Strict gun laws have never helped much in high-crime cities.

  2. Precautionary principle. How do you know you won’t need a gun? How do you know nobody in your state or city will need one? Sometimes the unexpected happens. I can understand how people would feel safer knowing that, in the worst-case scenario, they would not be helpless.

(And, this probably brands me as a loon, but I think “What if someday we need protection against our own gov’t?” isn’t a totally crazy thing to ask. Yeah, it’s almost certainly not going to happen. No, I don’t have my tinfoil hat on. But if the founders thought it was worth worrying about, I don’t want to mess with the right to bear arms. Just in case. We design a lot of things, from bridges to pharmaceuticals, with precautions against unlikely catastrophes; I don’t think it’s nuts to have precautions against unlikely political catastrophes.)[/quote]

If these anti-gun folks think it will help so much, maybe they should move to Britain.

Of course, that video will promptly be dismissed as hyperbole by those who will next watch a video of “Animal Kingdom” where a Cheetah will observe a herd of [some dumb animal] and judiciously single out the weakest, least protected, least able to protect themselves… then kill it.

Ted Nugent knocks this one WAY out of the ballpark.

BTW - if you own a gun and are not a member of NRA and GOA - FUCK YOU! Join or lose your rights. And for those that say the NRA is a wussy, without NRA all you’d have at the gun store is muskets.
