But what could be safer than having everybody armed? Isn't that what

Won't they be sitting ducks for anyone targeting a "gun free zone?"

This just shows what absolute hypocrites the NRA are and how little
they believe in their own message. It's about selling more guns to an
ever smaller part of the population.

Just for you jps:
It was around 10:30 p.m. when Matt Fugate heard a commotion from inside his home. When Fugate ran to
investigate, he found two men assaulting his brother, John Fugate. One of the suspects was
reportedly brandishing what turned out to be a pellet gun. When Fugate saw his brother in danger, he
did not hesitate to take action, "I raced for the gun vault and had my gun in my hand in five
seconds, …" he explained. Fugate ordered the intruders not to move and to keep their hands up. While
Fugate held the intruders at gun-point, his brother was able to call the police. There were no
serious injuries reported. Matt Fugate later commented on the ordeal, "I was scared and angry … I'm
relieved that nothing bad came of it … that it ended the way it did, peacefully." (TheBlaze.com,

Thank goodness for guns, huh?

In that rare instance, yes. Most incidents with guns involve family
members who lose their minds and kill either themselves or someone
close to them.

But you can ignore all that, John. Just like the "Christians" in
congress ignore the 95% of food stamp recipients who need food and
instead focus on the 5% that game the system. Forest/trees.
