COLUMBIA, SC (WIS) - It is a story bound to re-ignite debate about
concealed weapons permits in the Palmetto State. On Saturday night,
police say a man was shot and killed when he tried to rob people at an
Alcoholics Anonymous meeting.

For the second time in two months, law enforcement says the response
is appropriate.

"We've got a violent society. Times have changed. It's not the 60s and
the 70s, when you didn't have people with guns. You have bad guys now
and they all have guns. They're committing more serious crimes against
people. So I think the fact that we've got law enforcement being
assisted by citizens who are properly trained and armed, are helping
us out," said Richland County Sheriff Leon Lott.

Saturday's fatal shooting of an 18-year-old armed robbery suspect in
Five Points follows last month's retaliation by an Irmo pizza
deliveryman.

In that incident, investigators say the victim had been physically
assaulted before he pulled out a gun and killed his attacker.

In both cases, the men who fired back had valid concealed weapons
permits.

State Law Enforcement Division figures show steady increases in the
number of South Carolinians applying for and receiving those permits.

That's a law enforcement expert saying that guns in the hands of law-
abiding citizens is a good thing. But, he's not a hand-wringing
pantywaist.


Why don't you just go back to your frontier days. Everyone can pack a
couple of six shooters in western style holsters.
You could even use gunfights like the old quick draw method to settle
disputes.
My question to you...would the palm sisters prefer the six guns over
your
shortcomings?


Actually the wild west was more dangerous from accidents. The most
dangerous place in the "Wild West" days was NYC.

Geez, I wonder why NYC would be the most dangerous place? They didn't
have black or hispanic gangs. Must have been the immigrants.

Could it be that more people congregated in NYC?

Tammany Society controlled NYC. And you do realize that they were a society
of the worst gangs.

Oh yeah. But they couldn't kill with the efficiency of a AK. Look at
what happened at Virginia Tech. 34 people in a matter of minutes.
That's a declaration of war by one person.

The thugs of Tammany Hall beat the livin' snot out of a lot of folks
and I'm sure plenty disappeared but it wasn't the sort of random
mayhem an assault rifle can cause.

from radomly using a weapons against others.

The guns are here to stay. Concentrate your efforts on fixing
society, where the real problem is.

Wow. Care to explain?

Was it the free love sixties?

Are liberals responsible for shipping drugs into America?

Why is it that so many "conservatives" are caught with their pants
down, their dick in someone's ass, in a mistresses pussy, trading arms
for contra drugs, selling out American jobs, screwing the average
american into poverty and bankruptcy? Are you under the impression
that liberals run Wall Street? Liberals manufacture guns and run the
NRA?

Did you hear Diane Feinstein tell 60 minutes that the NRA has most of
congress in their pocket?

"Conservative" moral fiber, "family values" is what brought guns to
every neighborhood in America.

Are you saying that the conservatives are the ones that champion

favor leiniency on criminals, are anti-christian and family values,
protected the Fannie / Freddie fiasco that has stripped many hard
working folks of their homes and de-stabilized our economy, and have
generally chipped away at the moral fabric of our country for the last
50 years? Of course not, that would be the liberals.


Did you hear Diane Feinstein tell 60 minutes that the NRA has most of

You're quoting Fienstein?

"Feinstein said on CBS-TV's 60 Minutes, February 5, 1995, "If I could
have gotten 51 votes in the Senate of the United States for an
outright ban, picking up every one of them . . . Mr. and Mrs. America,
turn 'em all in, I would have done it. I could not do that. The votes
weren't here."

Yeah, she's believable when it comes to guns and the NRA. ~snerk~

You no longer have any credibility.

With you as the judge? I can handle that.

Excuse me, but the "conservatives" are who favor jails over treatment,
police over job training, the ability to discriminate over the need to
create opportunity.

Your kind want to deal with the problems your shortsightedness creates
rather than building a society that would minimize the problems.

Yes, liberals "champion" single parent families as if we want more of
them... How the hell does your brain make that connection?

Liberals have a history of looking after clean water, clean air, car
safety, work safety, equality between races, sexes, religions,
collective bargaining so workers aren't slaves, child labor laws -
true conservatism as in let's not plunder and spoil our environment
and resources in pursuit of money.

You'd happily throw that away and live in a cancerous sewer if your
house could be bigger and you could drive a nicer car? What's the
upside for you?

Do you think being a single parent is a curse? The fault of the
single parent?

Is this code for single black inner city mother who makes babies in
order to increase her welfare payments so she can afford a Caddy?

Do you consider yourself a Christian?

The trouble with your thinking is that it's so damned simple. Complex
problems aren't reducible to simple, bumper sticker solutions as your
lot favors.

Heh, heh... You're so inflamed, you snipped too much of the original
post so that yours has no reference to make sense, and you posted
twice. Hilarious.

Wipe the spittle off the screen, and try to understand:

Using statements like "your type" is a vain attempt to lump me into a
fictitious group of people that only exists in your mind.
Conservatives, like liberals, run a wide variety of beliefs, and even
have shared beliefs between the two groups. Once you get out of the
simple mindset you're carrying, you might see shade of grey, instead
of black and white. You act as if this is a team sporting event.

You know very little of what I believe, or what positions I hold
concerning many of the issues you list. I've simply provided
counterpoint to your bumper sticker beliefs that guns are bad. You've
gone on a rampage here in a boating NG trying to stir up debate, then
if anyone dares to provide a counterpoint, you call them a
conservative and "your type". That's a weak strategy.

I don't speak in code. That seems to be your pot of tea. I do wonder
why you picked the example you did... projecting a bit?

Am I a christian? Why would it matter to you, or to this issue? Are
you biggoted against christians, and are just looking for a point to
attack?

Bottom line is, there is overwhelming evidence that a child raised in
a home with both a man and a woman as parents, rooted in a religious
belief system, produces the best chance for a well adjusted, law
abiding, sucessful and non-violent adult. The liberal movement has
been the single most enabling element to move our society away from
this norm over the last 50 years.

The liberals most certainly created this mess, and try to bumper
sticker their way out of it. "It Takes a Village to Raise a Child".
BS. It takes a family, with both parents, male and female, and a
solid set of moral values and influences to raise a child. Government
can not do it, it is the most corrupt thing, on BOTH sides of the
aisle, that I can think of. I suspect that is our biggest difference
of opinion.

The liberal movement and Hollywood have done more damage to our
society than conservatives could ever do. Now that "your type" has
unleashed the beast, you're just trying to limit the amount of damage
it can do. All the while sitting back and blaming everyone else but
yourselves. Typical liberal.

Chew on that, then post away. I'm done.

What I blame the liberals for is not being more effective against the
NRA and not fighting for better decisions by our wussy lawmakers.

McVeigh's grandfather introduced McVeigh to guns, and he grew
fascinated by them. McVeigh told people he wanted to be a gun shop
owner, and he sometimes took a gun to school to impress the other
boys. After graduating high school with honors, McVeigh became
intensely interested in gun rights and the Second Amendment to the
United States Constitution, and read magazines such as Soldier of
Fortune. He went to work for Burke Armored Car Service.

McVeigh was known throughout his life as a loner; his only known
affiliations were voter registration with the Republican Party when he
lived in New York, and a membership in the National Rifle Association
while in the military.[8] Despite the former, McVeigh self-identified
as a libertarian in a statement that was reported by MSNBC.com and The
Washington Post;[9] and in 1996, while in federal prison, he voted for
Libertarian candidate Harry Browne in the United States presidential
election, 1996.[10] The LP said that he violated the nonaggression
principle and thus was not a true libertarian.
