A FEW BAD ONES? Are you fucking kidding me - a few bad ones = 9330 dead American's and counting year after year.

How many American's have been killed by Muslims since 911 on American soil? Is it anywhere near the 10,000 per year who are killed by guns?

If TV is where you want to go, watch Dateline, 48 Hours and there's a common theme. Everyone was shocked,
such a nice neighborhood, it couldn't happen here. Men/women plotting to kill their spouse vs divorce, why? My favorite comes from the value folks - Christians who find murder more acceptable than divorce. Life insurance policies and affairs are a big reason for murder too. Guns make it so easy to plot the quick demise of a human being.

I don't trust gun owners - not at all. Hunters perhaps, but those who buy Glocks and AK's / AR's scare the living shit out of me. I don't want to know someone who feels the need to buy that kind weapon and more so if they feel the need to carry it with them all the time. Some well meaning gun owner just might shoot the wrong person, crossfire so to speak.

Sorry - I don't care about all your statistics spin. Nothing you say can make me feel safe or better knowing 9300 American's and visitors from other countries have been killed in less than a year by guns. I will never call a policeman either. They too are fucking insane and trigger happy bullies with guns.

The NRA's wet dream of 50 open carry states looks a lot like Somalia. That's their idea of FREEDOM.
