Actually, guns are an ever-present deterrent and are used to prevent crimes every minute of the day in this country. My personal home defense firearm still hasn’t shot me, but has provided a deterrent effect an infinite number of times. I’ve also known people who have actually used their firearms in self-defense, but never met anyone who was killed with their own gun in an attack. Are you sure that you’re not just parroting lies?

I know I’m just indulging your trollness, but name one thing the President proposed that will “disarm lawfully armed American citizens.” And by that I mean someone who currently owns a gun, who isn’t a criminal, who will have to give that gun up due to federal law. Name one….

What a buffoon! I’ll give you a choice: you have to go into a building unarmed against one of two opponents. Opponent A has an AR-15 and/or Glock; Opponent B has a baseball bat. The fight is to the death.

If you think those two items are equally lethal, please feel free to pick the guy with the rifle…no, really, please pick him.

KalashniKEV,

As a “gun guy” it is scary how bad your knowledge is. Under VA law, a concealed carry permit DOES NOT allow you to carry a firearm onto private property against the wishes of the owner. (Say by the owner of a shopping mall who has expressed his wishes by posting a “No Firearms” sign.)

Va Code 18.2-308, Personal protection; carrying concealed weapons; when lawful to carry; penalty.

Subsection O. “The granting of a concealed handgun permit shall not thereby authorize the possession of any handgun or other weapon on property or in places where such possession is otherwise prohibited by law or is PROHIBITED BY THE OWNER OF PRIVATE PROPERTY.” (My capitals)

If nothing else, Virginia is a private property rights state and a property owner’s right to control his property trumps another’s right to carry a gun. If you violate that sign and are asked to leave and don’t, be ready to sign a trespassing summons.

So let me get this straight: you’re saying the ENTIRE states of Texas and California were gun-free zones when those shootings occurred? That’s what you expect us to believe?

Besides that, a “gun-free zone” is commonly known to be an area, building or property where guns are specifically forbidden, not an entire state that doesn’t allow concealed carry. Otherwise you would have written, “every mas shooting was either in a gun-free zone or a state that doesn’t allow concealed carry.”

Don’t try to wiggle out of this.

Drax, do you deny that the US government under FDR forcibly sent Japanese Americans, Italian Americans, and German Americans to internment camps?

Gun control is hopeless because it’s unconstitutional.

The Second Amendment protects only the ownership of military-type weapons. A single shot shotgun isn’t a military-type weapon.

(Unless it’s all you’ve got to resist tyranny…)
