You've heard of the security state, in reference to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security efforts to keep us safe and keep watch on threats from abroad; and the welfare state, the national apparatus designed to provide health care and sustenance to those in need. Well, some among us are proposing the pistol-packing state, which would arm virtually everyone with a weapon to be whipped out to shoot the bad guys whenever and wherever they're encountered.
At least that's what Wayne LaPierre, a spokesman for the National Rifle Association, and his ilk seem to be recommending as a way of dealing with mass murders like the nightmares of Newtown, Columbine, and the movie theater in Aurora, Colo.
"The only answer to a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun," said LaPierre. In other words, if you're on the street, in a shopping mall, supermarket, school or any other pubic space and someone pulls out a weapon and starts blazing away you can calmly draw your six-shooter - or, more appropriate in these times, your sixty-shooter and dispatch the menacing, gun-wielding madman.
Or, let's say you're on the street of some inner-city neighborhood when a gunfight breaks out between several parties and you are armed. You can, as they used to say in those Old West movies, "slap leather," draw your trusty firearm from its holster and with a few well-placed shots take the gunmen out - that is if you can determine exactly which of them of them are the bad guys. Of course with your dead aim there's no chance of innocent bystanders ending up as "collateral damage."(continued)

And against your will, Democrat plantation guy.
Nice hat Skippy!
That's not a good idea...........who the heck can trust a libtard with a firearm?
And the problem with this is?
I’m one of LaPierre’s ilk and I’m happy to be!
I wonder if the NRA is willing to take over the exiting boy scout troups when they officially announce they have caved to the homosexual lobby (because of two board members)?
Those BSA troups will need somewhere to go.
Great point.
US?
This guy should take a nice stroll down a street on the South side of Chicago some night.
Kid pointed out that he had shot the little animals printed around the standard 25 meter target. The target was too big.
Holy Carp!!
He didn't just shoot them, he cut them out.
He graduates to .22s this summer. I'll donate a brick or two to that effort. (yes, I have them)

Not everyone, just law abiding legal citizens.
Morgan: NRA aims to arm every last one of us
And this is a problem?
Since the NRA has always recommended apolicy against mental defectives having access to firearms, Mr. Morgan should have no fear that the NRA will be shipping him any weapons or requiring that he carry one.
>>Well, some among us are proposing the pistol-packing state, which would arm virtually everyone with a weapon to be whipped out to shoot the bad guys whenever and wherever they’re encountered.
Not everyone. Weak, feminized liberal hoplophobes should not be armed. The Democrat party is training them to be the easily herded people who can be starved to death as they work on the plantation.
If the NRA states this as a mission goal I will send them a check that hurts to give.
That was pretty much the point when the 2nd was written.
When did Piers start wearing a hat????
Neah. The NRA and GOA just want it to be possible for all law-abiding citizens to arm themselves when and if they feel the need.
I personally think if you don’t have a gun and a picture ID, you shouldn’t be allowed to vote.
