Arming everybody in hopes of reducing violence is insane logic.

Who advocates arming "everyone"?

You made that up, didn't you, so you could look good by calling it
"insane logic"?!

Are you the only person fielding arguments in rec.boats?

I suggest you read some of Bertie Poop's fertile insights.

I know it's hard for you parse with comprehension because of your
anti-gun prejudice, but no one was advocating arming criminals.

The fact is that where citizens are armed, and it's known they are
armed, crimes against them are reduced, though not eliminated.

As has been demonstrated before, your agenda is not merely one of
reducing gun related deaths.

People with clean records aren't criminals until they are. Did this
guy in Cupertino ever have trouble with the law? Not from what I've
read. He just got fed up and snapped.

So you believe in prior restraint.

You, jps, could get drunk and drive a car, therefor, we are not going to
allow you to drive cars anymore.

Great logic.

Anyone with a brain knows that's possible for any human being, given
the right circumstances. And, in America, we're used to immediate
gratification.

Guns and immediate gratification do not mix well.

When are you going to outlaw penises?

For Americans not to recognize the folly in the wide distribution of
firearms is as stupid as not recognizing that Walmart-style globalism
spells the demise of our middle class.

It's past the time that people should have woken up but it's not
happening. Too bad for the USA.

The only thing between you and slavery is a gun.
