VPC-Concealed Gun Permit Holders Kill 7 Police 44 Citizens in 2 yrs, nothing about armed criminals

Typical leftist agitprop. Perhaps not in the incidents themselves (although I would like to get information about these from a source other than the VPC), but how this sort of "study" only weighs costs without consideration to benefits; i.e.: how many people have been saved who would have died without CCW.

The VPC's sole agenda is the prohibition of firearms in all forms to the general citizenry, leaving the government they worship with a complete monopoly on force. Enemies Domestic.

I don’t think it’s a system, as much as it is forcing states to accept them the same way they all do driver’s licenses.

[Boiling Pots]

I would say DU as a whole is not pro gun control.

[Pistolshot]

...but, I think the article is stupid enough without me adding my comments to it.

I've been reading some of your other posts.

You are caustic and obnoxious. Keep it up and we could be really good FRiends here.

resulting in criminal charges

Homicide is illegal. Assume criminal charges will be pressed no matter the situation. Self-defense is an "affirmative defense" (to wit: "yes, your honor, I did do X - but circumstances and law excuse me from punishment").

That charges are filed is irrelevant. CONVICTION is what matters.

[ctdonath2]

Get off his case. Some articles are so plainly stupid as to not need commentary.

[ctdonath2]

There is a small but fierce pro-RKBA contingent at DU. They want to convert the antis as much as we do.

And be sure to stune your beeber.

parsy, we must immediately ban police cars.

The best response to the ridiculous is ridicule.

44 out of how many millions?

Glad to have you. Love to take you up on that beer sometime!

And, evidently, you aren’t smart enough to read further down the comments before you comment.

So, why don’t you get off my case?

I was not overtly antagonistic, merely asked a question. The question was legitimate, because FR has been infested with an unusual number of trolls lately.

Oh, and it’s generally against FR policy to comment in the title of a posted piece.

How about the countless CCW holders that either saved lives or fended off threatening crimes? No mention? I didn't think so.

[ctdonath2]

I did read further. Seemed the antagonism was continuing longer than warranted - which was what prompted my comment.

[stylin_geek]

Evidently, you also have reading comprehension problems, too.

I didn’t know I was being antagonistic when I wrote “Ah, gothcha, I missed it.”

Followed by “I lisp when I type, who knew?”

Yeah, those are two phrases that really jump out as being “antagonistic.”

I notice Texas isn’t listed here. Wonder if we told them to go F themselves?
