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

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

Personal choice. If you don;t think have lots-o-guns around is a good idea
then don't have any.

think about the nature of American society in this day and age -everyone

Everyone? Who made you the spokesman for 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-

At all times? I don;t think so.

as a result many of you feel it okay to have unlimited access to
guns-guns-guns

There that pesky Constitution getting in the way again.

and then stand there with uncomprehending looks on your faces when nice
people get hurt with guns.

As far as I can tell, people getting hurt with guns is not generally the
fault of the gun. Oops! I better go check mine to make sure it hasn;t been
roaming around looking for someone to frighten.

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?

Citing Moore doesn;t really lend any credability to you. You hate guns,
that's OK.

Doug Dotson attempted some puerile riposts that got snipped:

I'll repeat myself because it seems like it's slow-learners day on usenet.

Have you seen the film? Answer the question. If you can't do any
better than ad hominem, crack another beer and move on.

It has as much credability as Fahrenheit 911. Moore's credability as a
documentary filmmaker has be discredited over and over.
