Ah, so some gun crimes are OK.

First off, whoever made it a CRIME to get turned down for a gun is NUTS.. As a seasoned criminal, I can't even imagine WHY it's a crime. Seriously, I can't. Do you think trying to buy cigarettes when you're a kid, and getting TURNED DOWN should be a crime?? If you're not eligible for a liquor license you applied for, and you get turned down, is THAT a crime?

Finally, I think YOU'RE one of the people here who think cops aren't, and/or shouldn't be enforcing marijuana laws. Can we have a little consistency?

Dude, I was just pointing out the stats since the subject was raised. But I do so get a giggle out of your rants. So just one question then, why do you guys want more laws because we don't have the time and resources to enforce the laws we already have? Now that makes no sense.

The more people in any one place, the more overwhelmed ALL the institutions are. I have maintained that rural and urban issues are vastly different. Poverty is what keeps people at each others throats, as urban environments are stretched to the limits during times of national economic hardships and stagnant progress to address them.

Stop paying people welfare to sit at home... and they won't have time to sit around and cause trouble... they will be busy working earning a paycheck so they can eat.

Yes, the article is from 98, which illustrates my point even more clearly.

If there are no jobs, what are they going to do? Starve in the streets? If you had an economy crying out for workers you could make such statements but you don't

There are over 20 Million illegals here working... throw them out and you have over 20 million jobs open up tomorrow.


I actually have more respect for the illegals than the welfare bums... because they at least have a healthy work ethic.

A somewhat counter productive strategy, with all you efforts you only deport a small number of these people and besides your own rhethoric says these welfare bums don't want to work which means they won't take the jobs anyway and it will just become a revolving door. You have to match jobs to areas where there is disadvantage; throw out the farm labourers and are you going to get the people from the cities to pick beans? I don't think so. You need a strategy which will help the bums migrate to the places where there is work and you have to lift the minimum wage to make it attractive. Fact is you exported the jobs and the only way you will change things is to become protective of local industry. As soon as you do that the rest of the world will follow. Give incentives for the illegals to go home by creating vivrant economies in their own countries?

He sat at the same desk for 8 years in his little house on the prairie. He will never forget his roots, they are in his back pocket still.

Goes to show just how little you know about me. Both of you.

Well Tal if he's not a country boy and he's not a city boy he must be from the burbs or one of those himigrants

A Colorado dem that's been pushing gun control for years has no clue how guns work. She seems to think mags can't be reloaded and they'll magically start to disappear if you ban them.

This idiot also thought it amusing to tell a citizen concerned about defending against an intruder, "you'd probably be dead, anyway."

Dem Rep to Constituent: 'You'd Probably Be Dead' if Confronted by Armed Intruder - By Eliana Johnson - The Corner - National Review Online

Good thing we have the police and stupid, arrogant Democrats to protect us when they take away our guns.

That's what this is about? Taking your guns or not being able to shoot thousands of rounds for your pleasure? Too bad they got the drop on the good guy with the gun, and his wife,and that's how criminals do, and have done for centuries. They wait for the perfect time when they have an advantage and your gun is no good to you.

What you thought cops were the only ones to stake out a target? Of course they case the place first.

So you think gun magazines can't be reloaded and like this moron, that defending yourself is not only unrealistic but amusing because "you'd probably be dead, anyway."

Here are some recent examples of women who would be vicitims if not for packing... there are more...
