Paul Helmke and John Lott talked about the shooting in Tucson, Arizona, in which Representative Gabrielle Giffords and 13 others were wounded and six people killed on January 8, 2011. They focused on jurisdiction and purview of federal gun laws, state gun laws, the efficacy and implementation of background checks, the success of bans on various kinds of gun-related weaponry, and the effect that past multiple-victim- shootings have had on guns laws. They responded to telephone calls and electronic communications.
Why would a person like Jared Loughner obey gun control laws?
Answer: he wouldn’t. Not a difficult concept, but somehow liberals don’t understand it.
Lott knows that it isn’t fair to have a battle of wits against someone who is unarmed.
Helmke was so stupid as to say that a 9mm is useless for self defense and then went on to say that the only use for it was to kill and maim people.
As if self defense mainly involved telling bad puns and tickling until the attacker cried “Uncle!”.
You pwned him, Mr. Lott. Well done, sir!
One that seems to follow closely is "schizophrenics are people who are out of touch with reality" (yet they are somehow supposed to be able to make reasonable, rational decisions regarding their own mental health status and health care).
Liberals want to make everyone a criminal, then they have "control" over everyone.
Every time they(Demorats) start to rant about guns I just go out and buy another one or two.FUBO!!
There really does need to be better methodology for putting the names of lunatics onto registries.
Is it a requirement of C-SPAN that callers must be kooks?
And just how exactly are we going to determine who is a "lunatic"?
The usual standard is independent evaluation of the patient by two doctors.
