They came in with their guns in hand and I have no idea how I could have defended myself with a gun that most likely would have been under the counter. I always told my fellow employees that if robbed and you have no money in the till then tell the thief to take cartons of cigarettes and sell them.<br /><br />I think states and local communities should have the right to control weapons. I know you hear all the time about how if we ban guns then only criminals will have them.<br /><br />But I always wanted to know where criminals got their guns? I would assume that they either buy them or steal them from others...<br /><br />So, if you tighten the restrictions and regulate the storage of weapons you could maybe limit the amount of guns criminals have access to.<br /><br />But then again I always tell people that I put a sign on my bedroom door that reads: Dear Thief if you promise not to bother me I promise not to bother you...TAOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11452702225885449029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-293433952655399056.post-55731632728711114092010-03-09T06:28:10.951-06:002010-03-09T06:28:10.951-06:00You're a cop???

It's a flagrant display meant to provoke. <br /><br />I don't believe it was dangerous as the handwringers on the left bleated, but it does make you wonder about them.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-293433952655399056.post-12979362919038811572010-03-08T23:04:40.093-06:002010-03-08T23:04:40.093-06:00SF, come on everyone hates the Cops because we onl...SF, come on everyone hates the Cops because we only show up when something bad has happened or when someone has done something wrong. <br /><br />I like guns... No, the proper word is <i>respect</i>. But, there is something terribly wrong in the debate today. And I don't know what it is. Firearms are inherently more dangerous than other 'tools'. and I get very skittish when I see them being bandied about at political rallies. Those Tea Baggers who brought them remind me of punk ass pieces of shit Gang Bangers who wave guns around to intimidate and bully people. This was the genesis of the <b>Punk Ass Bitch</b> moniker for some Conservatives which I adopted much to your amusement. Those Tea Baggers who brought guns to those summer rallies remind me of common gang punks, bullies and pussies.<br /><br />And the Huckabee reference was slight hyperbole although I know with <i>an absolute certainty</i> Hannity and O'Reilly would mercilessly grill any Democrat politician responsible for releasing a man who then goes on to commit more felonies and the murder of 4 cops. <br /><br />And as for Larson I specifically wrote "Conservatives like Larson" since Larson agreed with his caller.Grung_e_Genehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01894879088472559055noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-293433952655399056.post-45780301649942210742010-03-08T19:15:09.823-06:002010-03-08T19:15:09.823-06:00Gene:

Anyone wishing ill on a cop is an idiot. <br /><br />I have sympathy for Randy Weaver, but the man did wrong when confronted by law enforcement. <br /><br />When cops show up you shut your mouth and do as you're told. They have a very hard job and must make on-scene judgments that are easy to criticize after the fact. Add in dangerous people and idiots who won't shut their mouths and the situation is even worse.<br /><br />Just because an infinitesimal percentage of human beings are prone to "snap" is not justification for taking everybody's guns away.<br /><br />I think the lack of accidental discharges and other gun-related incidents by concealed carriers is noteworthy. I was in the military for a long time and I saw some incidents due to carelessness or inattentiveness.<br /><br />Even natural law recognizes someone can lose their rights by endangering others, especially when we live in a republic governed by an agreed upon constitution. Hardcore libertarians would probably disagree with me on this.<br /><br />The Supreme court settled the meaning of the 2nd Amendment in the DC case, so your point on that is moot. It means we each have an individual right, at least at the federal level.<br /><br />Your 2nd to last paragraph is a bad example. Larson didn't say anything negative, a caller did, and Huckabee let that man loose out of a stupid and misplaced sense of Christian Charity.<br /><br />G Gordon Liddy is actually the best example when he advised people to aim for CBM when the authorities come to the door, or something to that effect.<br /><br />As to the last paragraph, I'll just have to trust you. It ain't that way where I live...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
