Smartphones are computers, and most blacks I see have more expensive ones than my own; I can’t help that they use it for different purposes.
People want guns because they no longer assume anyone else will protect them, and some suspect those paid to protect them have become the enemy.
If “Guns kill people” and guns are so dangerous how does anyone survive going to a gun show?
The predicted bloodbath did not occur when Texas authorized open carry. I have yet to see an instance, though I do not get out much.
“Current “progressives” live in a bubble, and have a limited view of reality. They are very smug about themselves. “
The Left signals its virtue by spouting what is held by the Left as a virtuous position. They bask in the praise from people they want to impress and ignore the response from people they don’t care about. Their position is fashionable and sets them above the common folk. They are the Dixie Chicks of our culture, seeking praise and attention. Unfortunately they vote.
Repeating a post I made on another thread =>
Northern Europeans are better armed than most think. According to a 2007 survey cited by wiki, gun ownership in Germany, France, Netherlands, Norway and Sweden is just over 30 guns per 100 residents. That compares to 45 guns/100 residents in Switzerland and 112/100 for the US.
A word about the survey. It looks like the source is one of the usual suspects, so the figures are probably way low. However, it seems reasonable that comparing ratios would be more accurate. Looked at that way, the northern Europeans have 2/3 of the guns that the Swiss have.

..........read/listen to the news much, a$$#ole??
Wrong question. The question should be:
Why does the Government want to take them away?
The USSC basically ruled that police are not solely obligated to ‘protect’. Their function is to “enforce the law”.....
Our USSC has so hampered police with respect to pre-emptive measures (e.g., profiling and ‘rights’) that it basically had to admit the “protect” part is not the primary function.
I forget which decision but a few minutes on a web search would find it.
What's the take away from this? It is Obama himself sending it and can't understand the difference between "by" and "buy". Or, he just has some other flunky racist think up this crap and tweet out.....take your pick.
True. I have zero compassion for these jerks if and when they are raped, mugged, stabbed, or shot. I say, “tough-titty, you deserve what you got because you’re a moron.”
The best reason ever was given to Senator Feinstein. “Because you don’t want me to...”
Both open and concealed carry without a permit is legal in Vermont. It has one of the lowest murder rates of all the states.
I understand that, but they certainly throw that out there when looking for taxpayers to foot their six-figure salaries.
Part of enforcing the law involved protecting property rights; that is what the Dallas police were doing (not protecting the mob, as the news indicated) where they were attacked.
When Texas proposed the CHL, the media drones predicted a bloodbath. When Texas proposed open carry, again a bloodbath was predicted. Didn’t happen. In fact, after Hurricane Ike, the drones asked Governor Perry about looting in Galveston county. The head of the DPS spoke up to let them know that there was no looting in that county.
At the time, Galveston County had the highest per capita of CHL licensees. Go figure.
Also, when seconds count, law enforcement is only minutes away.
Add in “students of history” to the list of people who want guns.
One of my lingering Walter Mitty fantasies is to go back in time and arm the european Jews in 1938.
Question for Obama. He says “we” flood communities with guns. Who is we?
This is excellent writing, Dean.
