As for 911, I blame the fact that these terrorists were allowed in the US in the first place. Tim McVeigh, how many times has that happened? However now, its not that easy to buy that much manure without being investigated and. Laws were changed after these events, so that kind of proves my point, doesn't it?
A drug overdose is self inflicted, so that has nothing to do with people dying who's only crime was being in the wrong place.
you're already living in a fantasy world thinking its made up of 'good guys and 'bad guys'. sorry to tell you but good guys become bad guys and vise-versa all the time and most people are many shades in-between.
the more legal guns in a society, the more illegal guns there are in a society. it may be too late for america, maybe not.. but the fact is every illegal gun starts out as a legal gun. its not like there are criminals making guns in run down motels or old warehouses. they all come from manufacturers. as i've said to others before, america is the arms dealer to the world. there are more guns smuggled out of the states to various countries around the world while the opposite rarely happens. the idea that everyone needs a gun to protect from everyone else who has a gun is ironic in a way and only creates a fear based society.

Well my friend, it's obvious and not unusual for different people to see things differently and not ever agree on such matters, so I'll leave this thread with one last statement....
I know one thing for certain, as a law-abiding, tax-paying citizen with a family and home not far from a large urban area, and one who believes freedom & liberty aren't free and tyranny is not just a "3rd world" or "ancient 1776" potential problem, I would very much rather
have one and
not ever need it, than
need one and
not have it.
So it's a personal life-long question of: Do you feel lucky? Well....Do ya?
