Guns for nuts

[billf]

Where do you guys live that you feel so scared that you need an arsenal to protect you home and family when you leave you home? My house was broken in back in 1987 I called the police and they came out and looked around the house. They found a broken window in the basement. The went out side and followed the foot prints in the snow to the next street and arrested the two 14 year olds. The parents gave me $60 dollars for a new window and a few dollars in coins that were taken. I still have night mares over those kids.

1987 was a different time. I was 18 and on my way of getting out of the projects I lived in Brockton, MA (just south of Boston). Before I graduated high school I was stabbed once, hit on the face with a lead pipe once, hit in the head with a brick and the back with a baseball bat plus had a gun pulled on me three seperate occasions. Since then the bats, pipes and bricks are left alone and every wanna be thug has a gun.
Same neighborhood in 1994 I was working at an automotive retail service center in a strip mall when a punk came in to try and rob us after doing the same to 5 other places in the strip mall. With an office full of people I yanked him over the counter and beat the snot out of him. From then until I moved to Ohio in 2002 I didn't have a problem out of anybody there. Oh and you would be correct, corporate wasn't happy with me at all for that incident.

Keep in mind that the people who organized and fought in the revolutionary war would almost certainly have been considered "nuts" by the British. When we put too much trust
in the government it leads to abuse, all you have to do is look at some of the anti-gun legislation proposed by the current president, did you know he has proposed that elderly people on social security
that have someone appointed to manage their affairs would be stripped of their right to own guns.
Are those people really a threat ? Of course not, but that's the issue, taking guns away from law abiding citizens doesn't reduce crime.
So in a nut shell allowing the government to keep the mentally Ill from owning guns and at the same time allowing the government to determine who is mentally ill leads to abuse.

That's what I said about the "no fly no gun" the Dems wanted to pass. then all the government needs to do is add a bunch of us to the no fly list and there goes your guns! We have a government that is becoming far too controlling of it citizens.

Hey Fordman1, did you hear about a mass shooting in South Carolina this weekend? You didn't because a concealed carrier fired back and stopped the shooting before anyone was killed.

Tony if a person isn't competent to handle their affairs maybe they don't need a gun.

Jesse The court should review and approve who is on the no fly list. Like some one who is wanted for a felony or a escapee from jail or prison. Someone suspected to be a terrorist.

Jason was the dead person a 14 year old Black kid?

What are you talking about? I'm trying to have an intelligent debate and all you do is spout random thoughts that have no relevance to anything.

He does not want to have a debate. He is just seeking an opportunity to throw out some talking points from Huffington Post...

Several points became clear with this post
1. You have no clue how the "no fly list" is compiled unless you mean how it SHOULD work which still would be an issue
2. You commented on the article without ever reading it. There was zero mention of race or of any death.
