for passing a ordinance requesting that every head of household purchase and

something like buy guns, get trained on how to use them, and then use them if

" 'Politics is the art of controlling your environment.' That is one of
the key things I learned in these years, and I learned it the hard way. Anybody
who thinks that 'it doesn't matter who's President' has never been Drafted and
sent off to fight and die in a vicious, stupid War on the other side of the
World -- or been beaten and gassed by Police for trespassing on public property
-- or been hounded by the IRS for purely political reasons -- or locked up in
the Cook County Jail with a broken nose and no phone access and twelve perverts
wanting to stomp your ass in the shower. That is when it matters who is
President or Governor or Police Chief. That is when you will wish you had
voted." - Hunter S. Thompson<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<br>
Huh? Where did I "defend" an obvious hoax?<br>
<br>
I merely pointed out that real, live, verifiable cases of people defending
themselves with a gun actually DO occur.<br>
On a fairly regular basis even.<br>
It was YOU who decided to use the typical radical left wing tactic of using a
child's death to try to make a point. (Just like the typical radical right wing
tactic of saying immigrants are ruining the country)I used the fact that a very
high number of children die from drowning, which, like firearm deaths, are
completely preventable.<br>
Unfortunately, the CDC doesn't give a complete age breakdown on firearm deaths.
(People 20 and under are considered "children") I used to have a
better age breakdown, which showed more young kids died of drowning in the home
than did by firearm. If I run across it, I'll post it.<br>
<br>
You, Saundra are the one who used the terms "gun nuts" and
"anti-immigration nuts".<br>
<br>
Sorry, I'm not the nut here, I advocate the legal and responsible possession
and use of firearms. Including the right to defend oneself from intruders. <br>
I also advocate legal, responsible and steady immigration into this country,
NOT the sieve we've got now.<br>
<br>
My case isn't weak, it is lawful. The rightful and just application of law
should ALWAYS trump emotion and party dogma.<br>
