But I guess 10,000 gun deaths a year is an acceptable figure to you. The CDC doesn't agree with you. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Be it mental health, drugs or whatever .... there were 806,843 aggravated assaults in the USA in 2009. "Aggravated assault" is defined as the unlawful attack by one person upon another for the purpose of inflicting severe or aggravated bodily injury and involves the display of—or threat to use—a gun, knife, or other weapon. 26.9 percent were committed with hands, fists, and feet; 20.9 percent were committed with firearms; and 18.7 percent were committed with knives or cutting instruments. The remaining 33.5 percent of aggravated assaults were committed with other weapons. Note that the 806,843 number does not include simple assaults, battery or break-ins. I suspect the inclusion of those would triple or quadruple the number. When I was a younger man with children in the house I never wanted firearms in our house. But now as a "young", 63 year old senior, kids gone and it's just my wife and I ... I have often thought about "what would I do if" type scenarios. News reports of assaults (including the many that you like to repeat here in this newsgroup in your anti-gun crusade) do nothing to convince me to become an anti-gun advocate. To the contrary, they reinforced my decision to get the necessary permits to own and carry a firearm (when appropriate) for personal defense and for that of my wife. To *me*, not doing so is irresponsible. Because your gated community is so very often under attack? Do you wear hoodies while black and wander the neighborhood? People are driven to paranoia by the news but it's more often those who have guns that become the victims. Gonna go to your safe and unlock it when the giant black men burst through your door to pistol whip you and take your wife's precious jewelry? Or will you keep it under your bed or in your nightstand for when someone comes into your home when you're not there to steal your stuff and find your gun? That's how most guns make it to the street. The people I worry about are the crazy assholes in movie theaters, mcdonalds, malls and such that get a hold of caches of weapons and unleash their frustrations against whomever in a random event. Or the recently fired employee who has no life outside of work. Just like this guy who killed his workmates. Got a lot of hostility at the Music Shoppe? Disgruntled employees? Better get a gun. ----------------------------------------- I have to admit. You live in a strange world. First of all, we do not live in a gated community. We *did* during the winter months in Florida for three winters, but we sold that property back in 2004 and no longer winter there. No, I am not paranoid. I am realistic. My state (MA) has some of, if not *the* toughest gun control laws in the nation that have been further modified and updated to be even more restrictive in recent years. The standard "For all lawful purposes" does not apply here anymore. You must have specific reasons to be issued a LTC class "A" license. The police departments (town and state) have determined that I have sufficient specific reasons. For purposes of responding to you, that's all the information you need. The bulk of your post is a bunch of goofy gibberish, typical of the ultra-left who spray lies and oblique innuendos, including the race card, hoping something will stick to support their ultra-liberal views. No, jps, I do not have visions of "giant black men" floating in my head nor am I concerned with "disgruntled employees" (mainly because I don't have any). I thought you were brighter and more mature. Guess I was wrong. Eisboch Anyone who says that my post do more to convince them to get a gun has some strange ideas rolling around in their head. I post about lunatics who go off in pubic or take out their own families. The number of home invasion robberies are so few, that the potential for anything to touch you or your immediate family are ridiculously low. I thought you were more circumspect and thoughtful. I was wrong. |

I was wrong. Home invasions are de rigueue among the low life, and the O'bama introduced, homeless and broke crowd. In the case of the latter, it's the poor folks who have lost all HOPE, pride and dignity who would be desperate enough to take such measures. The lunatics you speak of are products of their environment. They finally realized that HOPE and CHANGE were all lies and bull****. If you cared about your family, you'd teach them to protect themselves instead of taking them to gay pride rallies and parades, "in order to broaden their horizons". BTW: Wanna bet your kids will grow up to be racists just like you? |
