But for home or boat defense, a 12 gauge shotgun is an infinitely better
choice. More likely to hit something vital. If only we could conceal
carry shotguns!

oooohhh
be afraid
be very afraid!!!

what a great way to live


Beats being dead.



false dilemma
death obviously isn't the only other option
I'm not armed, and I don't live in fear


Neither are most folks. So what is your point?


my comment is about the fear that permeates American society


So you are speaking on behalf of society in general. Rather bold
I would say.

straw man
respond to my words, rather than yours if you don't mind

re-read the posts in this thread from those who think having lots-o-guns
around at all times is a real good idea

think about the nature of American society in this day and age -everyone
worried about someone robbing them, invading their homes, "terrorizing"
them- you've been cultured to fear the "other" -you feel you have to
protect yourself at all times- as a result many of you feel it okay to
have unlimited access to guns-guns-guns and then stand there with
uncomprehending looks on your faces when nice people get hurt with guns.

try answering a previous question of mine

suggest reasons why all those other countries cited in Michael Moore's
"Bowling for Columbine" have gun violence rates 10-100X lower than the USA?
