Firemen and paramedics save lives. Guns kill.
Now it's an " Unquestionable " human right to bear arms? You fuckers
are too crazy to be trusted with lethal devices. Try basket weaving instead.
We're gonna take your guns away.
Na na na na na.

Please sent me your picture, so that if I happen to see you at the end of
some thug's gun, or being mugged, I will know that you don't want me to
intervene on your behalf with my own gun. Instead, I will only call 911, and
the nearest LE officer *may* choose to defend you individually, even though
the Supreme Court has ruled that police have no duty to protect individuals,
only society. There just may be one around who has nothing to do but respond
to a call for your aid, although most of us know our police are far too
understaffed to be in as many trouble areas as *they* would like to be.
If you had the intellectual integrity to actually study the stats, you'd know
that guns in the hands of the law-abiding not only do not contribute to
crime, we prevent or thwart more crime, often without firing a shot, than do
the police. That's from DOJ/FBI stats. You would also know that violent
crime has fallen to a far greater extent in jurisdictions where concealed
carry laws are most relaxed, and that cities most restrictive are also most
dangerous places to live: NYC, Washington, D.C., Chicago, Philadelphia,
Miami, to name a few.
But, hey, why should I interfere with your God-given and Constitutionally
protected right to free speech, however foolish, or your right to be
unprepared to protect yourself if you become a victim of crime? Or do you so
curtail your activities that you're not out after dark? Have you so
fortified your home that you don't worry about a home invasion you can't
defend against?
A neo-conservative is a liberal who just got mugged. (That's too old to be a
Mallard Filmore quote and I don't recall where it did come from. It's too
old, I guess.)
