Let me dechipher-there are people getting killed and robbed around the Dc area and suburbs as many as ten times in a 24 hour period-yeasturday-two n*****ers with guns drawn pounded on the door of an older fella in a nice quiet nieborhood about 10 miles from "BOOGIE LAND" the massive ghetto that is suburban DC-including parts of Maryland,DC,and VA.The old man was a retired cop-had a low caliber pistol-(which works great at close range) -and killed the first one as he was trying to break down the door-with his scumbag worthless body in the way-it took him some time to get out the door-and he fired what was probably his last two-at the other n*****er as he jumped into a car and fled. The police showed up-the nieghbors were all around and interviewed by the news team-and they ran the gamet publiccly about gun control and the kind of violence that has killed probably 10 kids under the age of 18 alone since January.There were Gun Control disbelievers,and believers-THEY ALL CHEERED WHAT THE GUY DID DEFENDING HIS HOME-AND SO DID I. The police chief-who is an old Prince Georges county redneck-where I ended up in jail years ago and posted about the lynch mob mentalitythat was back in the day SAID-we must do something to get these guns off the street-and hes faced alot more life threatening situations than you ever will on a civilian basis-TRUST ME. The cop in my immediate family is on the Pentagon Police Force-and when the guy came in shooting-some other things happened-he also says the same thing-and is basically on high alert,along with the numerous snipers posistioned on the roof etc 24-7.So maybe you need to get hip-and leave the safe cocoon of your rural area-and see a 14 year old kid shot 5 times in the guts for the shoes he bought his girlfriend-they wanted him to have a prolonged experience-I say-you oughta count your blessings and maybe run down somebody elses country-untill you figure out that its a PRIVELEDGE TO BE HERE-perfect or not O0
I bet the thugs didn't worry about any of the laws already on the books or any new ones made. You realize that to limit guns on the street, you will have to eliminate all guns from inside the borders in general- you have to. Then you have to eliminate them from coming across the border- you have to.
So when you eliminate the guns from all individuals that are honest, who will have them? Or when a thug picks one up that has been smuggled in, who has them? It isn't the average person. What you have is England. You know, where the thugs have guns and everybody else just does what they say. You remember the reports a year or so ago right? Sounds like a perfect liberal utopia.
"The emperor has no clothes."
Evil will exist. It always has and always will. The only way to fight evil is with good people just as armed. You can't win this argument with "more regulation". By the way, how did the snipers fair against the 747 hell bent on crashing the joint? And where was the police to protect the 14 year old? They weren't Johnny on the spot to prevent the shooting? So people are responsible for their own safety? Hmmmm maybe they should be allowed to protect themselves??
By the way, I found this for you. It's called punctuation.

You shouldn't be so quick to judge to speculate on my knowledge or lack of knowledge of the urban environment. I've lived a place or two. The problems you speak of I've seen many times over. Seems that most democratic controlled areas are that way and go along with your idea of making it more difficult for the average person to protect them-self. Then you wonder why the thugs are so brazen. And your answer is to make it even more difficult for the average law abiding citizen to protect themselves. Sounds pretty bass akwards.
Maybe if you taught the thugs responsibility when they are young, and not teach them that they are worthless and should be dependent on the state, you might be able to have some adults that contribute to society. The problem is the result of your solution already implemented, but you want to double and triple down on it.
America was bought for at a price you aren't willing to tender. It was built on accepting risk as the price of freedom. True freedom, where you are responsible for yourself and your decisions. Maybe you could actually show some respect for the privileged you were born into, instead of pissing it away with non-sense that has been proven over and over to fail. True hero's died to "limit" government involvement in our daily lives, and the ignorant vote for bondage link by link.
Your ideas created the "Boogie Land", it would only be fitting that you and other like yourself should have to deal with it. Leave the rest of us alone. We don't want your disease.
