#1 It all started when we caved in to the Gun Sufferage League and gave the Gun the vote. Since then the guns have forced us to buy and carry them everywhere.

We are the victims.

#2 Gun prohibition enlarges Organised Crime just as well as Alcohol Prohibition did.

#3 So the people who cross natural self preservation instincts and enter into the system, expect that every time their car plate is run or ID checked it will pop up as a gun carrier, are more unstable than the shady and/or criminal gun owners?

Maybe people should not be discriminated against for owning a gun during their job application. Maybe the total public failure about Ft. Hood has people concerned (nevermind VT, DC Sniper, Mall Shooter, etc etc etc) and they know that a best response time of 5 minutes is still a very, very long time especially considering the goofball already has the initiative.

Horns for the Ram, Rod for the Shepherd, Fangs for the Sheepdog. I may or may not, but I understand.

#4 My last 4 jobs I was armed and no only did they know it, they didn't care, in fact one of my co-workrs killed a big rat with his pistol and everybody cheered.

He'd been getting into the lunchboxes and vending machines and we had set traps which he avoided.

#5 The new gun buyers are not criminals but concerned citizens that take the Second Amendment seriously. The gun range has been so packed you can't get in on a weekday. There are also quite a few women and even entire families at target practice. Home defense in a down economy is also a concern.

#6 I'm not sure "Liberalizing" is the most accurate word.

#7 "The NRA has a stranglehold on a lot of state legislatures."

This is straight out of the Progressive prohibition handbook. The first step is to steer the focus away from personal responsibility. The next step is to identify a larger entity to assume blame. And finally demonize said entity. Its known in social justice circles as the tobacco strategy.

#8 Prior to the Republicans taking over the House in Tennessee we had a Speaker of the House, Jimmy Naifeh, a Democrat, who buried nearly all gun-related legislation in some committee and it never saw the light of day. You could say the Republicans let the light shine in.
