I kept clips of these back in the late 90s because I was appalled at how the NATIONAL media ignored these stories. Used to be 5 or 6 grannies a month -- holding scumbags at gunpoint. If I remember at the time -- the DOJ's own statistics were about 10,000 per month armed citizen defenses a month. With the large majority of them ending without a shot fired..
sure it does, it is a representation of what lawless guncontrol can be like, UNDERSTAND the whole situation. answer me this.....you have mental problems, you make up your mind you gonna kill someone, your telling me your first thought will be "hey im gonna shank him witha spoon"? and i use the mental problems analogy because that seems to be the usual response when ever its comes to these issues
Editorial: Loophole lets mentally ill buy guns
Bizarrely, though, even if Loughner had been ordered into treatment, there's a good chance he would have had no problem passing a background check to buy a gun. That's because only a handful of states bother to pass along all the records of those formally judged to be mentally ill to the federal background check database that gun dealers must consult.
The consequences are tragically measurable. Seung Hui Cho, who slaughtered 32 people at Virginia Tech University in 2007, was free to buy the pistols that he used even though a judge had found him to be mentally ill. Virginia never reported that fact, and he had no trouble passing gun-store background checks.
Virginia has since become one of the most diligent states in reporting those with mental illness, but it's an exception. An exhaustive report in November by the group Mayors Against Illegal Guns found that most states appear to under-report, and some hardly bother to comply at all.
gotta be a texas woman with that talk, yeah honestly, if your read what I said you would unserstand, also amends are just that, they should be UPDATED with the times. also bitch, when did I say anything about when efforts at gun control where started? NO WHERE so take ur ass back to a state that doesent even want to be a state, fuck some people, oh and the 2nd amend was drafted in 1791 time for an UPDATE.......
Arizona, shitstain. You got a problem with that?
And I KNOW you didn't just try to tell me that your incoherent, illiterate rants are so brilliant and insightful that the only possible reason I could be telling you that you're an ignorant piece of trash is because I just didn't read them and absorb their "wisdom.
Let me clarify: I read your post. I understood your post. And then I wholeheartedly rejected your post as resembling something I would find in my cat's litter box after he scarfed down a box of chocolates.
If you want to "update" the Constitution with the times, flatliner, feel free to try to convince a large number of people to be as dimwitted as you are and pass whatever Amendments you and the rest of the Mouthbreathing Mouseketeers think are appropriate. Good luck with that. In the meantime, the law is what it is, and we won't be ignoring it just because someone whose two brain cells have to shout at each other to be heard over the vast, echoing distance between them thinks it's a good idea.
Arizona is perfectly happy being a state. It is unhappy about having its rights as a state ignored and the safety of its people blown off by a bunch of fools who make laws about the border while living nowhere near it.
Now, is there anything you didn't understand here that I need to clarify further?
oh your from the jan brewer state, ha enough said on that or to you before i catch the dumb fuck bug

Lets let vigolanties carry out justice and lets call it a day, seeing as everyone wants no gun regulation and we have already more guns per person than any other nation, OR lets face facts, PEOPLE use GUNs to kill people. So if i see a fist fight where one guy is stopming the others head in, should I shoot him? What about a fight outside of a hockey game in the street where there are 20 vs 20 and I "feel like my life is in danger" and just mow those fucker down, or the best yet, let me go buy fully auto guns and extended clips and strap on some body armor and go have a shoot out that lasts 3 hours cause I outgun the police in everyway, hell why not allow privatge citizes access to rocket launchers.......this tea party shit is so fucking annoying YOU the TEA PARTY people are the real danger to our country, how many terror attacks have been on the US soil on mainland USA? now how many were a forien threat and how many where homegrowntea party fucks like some of you who play army on the weekends? fuck tarded tea party fools, you know the REAL tea party was about taxation with out representation, you fuck tards are even smart enough to know your little tiny movment in the modern era is false so why would us NORMAL people trust your judgment when it comes to gun violence, as a tea party people once told me in NJ(cheristy lover)2+2=5......hmmmm
Wow, legal age to buy a gun, 6 years old? You assume I am a Tea Partier?
Did you read the article, NO SHOTS were fired and peoples lives were saved. The people wounded were nearly killed with a knife.
I have news for you before the Tea Party existed people were for Gun rights.
Carry on with your hyperbole though...
Oh right you mean when we were not even a country and people used ball muskets to hunt rabbits and shit, not full auto hand guns with extended mags......you know the 2nd amend. was when we DID NOT have a fully functional and standing army right? so militias were used as defence, So are you telling me the united states should disband our military and revert back to how and why the 2nd rmend. was written? should we have town militias defending our boarders? and the 6 year old reference was to Yemen who is 2nd in the world with guns per captia and they arm 6 year olds.......

on Tuesday, February 8, 2011
Indianapolis Star: An armed homeless man confronted two citizens and tried to break into their car. The owners were present, but rather than complying with the gunman’s demands, they drew weapons of their own, shooting the would-be robber. Neither armed citizen has been charged. Thanks to Earl for the tip!
I kept clips of these back in the late 90s because I was appalled at how the NATIONAL media ignored these stories. Used to be 5 or 6 grannies a month -- holding scumbags at gunpoint. If I remember at the time -- the DOJ's own statistics were about 10,000 per month armed citizen defenses a month. With the large majority of them ending without a shot fired..
I saw this on your site:
Kansas law change may allow even blind to carry concealed
God help us all.
So 10,000 a month.
That is about one every 4 minutes. Forgive me if I don't buy the statistic you offered.
Re-post your link. I followed the one in the USMB link you just gave. It gives me a 404 error. I need to see what they're calling a "defense".Actually IT DOES!!!
Used to be a monthly feature in the one of the gun magazines. First site I found for example.. Home*|*The Armed Citizen

Sorry Candy -- if you don't buy it --- then you;re not reading my posts. I gave a set of statistics from the DOJ --- DID YOU SEE THEM?? Showing 86,000 defenses with guns a year. I'll even edit in the post number for you.. http://www.usmessageboard.com/5700613-post47.html
Now Yes -- I know that's not 100,000.. I was being CONSERVATIVE.. Because the DOJ stats are just for incidents where paperwork is filled out.. SEVERAL reputable academic studies put the number at more than 200,000 per year.. The DOJ doesn't lie -- DOES IT?

So in the time it takes you to read this message and respond (about 4 minutes), someone in the US fended off an "attack" with a firearm...is this what you're saying?

How about this, lets arm every person in the usa, legal age to buya gun 6 yours old. Lets let vigolanties carry out justice and lets call it a day, seeing as everyone wants no gun regulation and we have already more guns per person than any other nation, OR lets face facts, PEOPLE use GUNs to kill people. So if i see a fist fight where one guy is stopming the others head in, should I shoot him? What about a fight outside of a hockey game in the street where there are 20 vs 20 and I "feel like my life is in danger" and just mow those fucker down, or the best yet, let me go buy fully auto guns and extended clips and strap on some body armor and go have a shoot out that lasts 3 hours cause I outgun the police in everyway, hell why not allow privatge citizes access to rocket launchers.......this tea party shit is so fucking annoying YOU the TEA PARTY people are the real danger to our country, how many terror attacks have been on the US soil on mainland USA? now how many were a forien threat and how many where homegrowntea party fucks like some of you who play army on the weekends? fuck tarded tea party fools, you know the REAL tea party was about taxation with out representation, you fuck tards are even smart enough to know your little tiny movment in the modern era is false so why would us NORMAL people trust your judgment when it comes to gun violence, as a tea party people once told me in NJ(cheristy lover)2+2=5......hmmmm
