Gun control advocates want to stop Michigan legislators from passing a law allowing people to use deadly force to defend themselves without fear of prosecution.The bills were introduced this month in Michigan.

The Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence and the Million Mom March are calling lawmakers in an attempt to keep the bills from getting out of the House Judiciary Committee.

The battle in Michigan over the so-called deadly force legislation is an important one for both sides.

It could open the doors to similar laws across the country, a top priority for the National Rifle Association, or stop the effort in its tracks.

We should have told him that Sarah Brady and Jodie Foster were "in a relationship".

No matter what they say the purpose is to leave the citizens defenseless, confused, fearful, and dependent on the government.

"No matter what they say the purpose is to leave the citizens defenseless, confused, fearful, and dependent on the government."

That's part of it. In many neighborhoods, the Left and the criminals are allied. In part, the Left is simply trying to protect their own people (the criminals) from harm. Because "hurting people is wrong, I don't care what the reason is." and "Two wrongs don't make a right."

Obviously the lesson of New Orleans was lost on some of these brain-dead morons.

I know the Communist often loose the thugs on the poipulace but I never really understood the motive. Are they simply the enforcers? Or is maintaining a state of fear part of the way they govern? That is what I was suggesting.

Your question is too general. They have many different purposes, depending on the situation. Its in their toolkit, like torture and mass murder. Sort of like saying, why do Republicans launch ad campaigns? Could be many reasons.

I suggest you look up some things Solshenitsyn's written on this. He was one of the first to point out that Marxists use criminals to keep the general populace under control.

If this doesn't go thru, is the Title next month going to be:

You ought to email that to every legislator in Michigan.

It's brilliant.
