Funny stuff..Lina…..But don’t under estimate these nuts. A lot of wanna-be cowboys would feel 10 feet tough walking into Chuck-E-Cheese dressed like Wyatt Earp.

BluePlanet…the numbers you cite are completely accurate. It’s difficult to understand why some people think we need more guns to solve this national disgrace. The letter writer above compares America to Iraq, but actually, when it comes to gun violence, we would be safer on the streets of Iraq and less likely to be killed by gunfire.

AJ….what can we do with the guns on our streets today? We just have to accept the violence and the Kirkwood type tragedies until guns become obselete….like the hoola hoop.

I always get a kick out of people comparing guns with swimming pools….
People are killed in house fires too…So! that’s why guns are safe..????

I suggested the PD should do an article each year about Permit law, asking how many Permits were revoked/Cancelled/Suspended due to the holders misbehavior with a firearm.

They haven’t. done any article. I suppose they checked the stats and discovered no violations by anyone. That meant there was no story. Alaska has had a CC Permit law for 25 years and nobody has lost their permit yet.. (Note: that is about a year old….When I last checked it was about a year ago.)

Don’t mind Garrison. He would take a knife to a gun fight. He’s harmless, and he can be fun.

I have taught at least a dozen police officers in this area how to improve their marksmanship using the hill in my back yard. ( before you ask,I am qualified to do so)

Just for Garrison’s edification. There is no such thing as “police protection”. There is only “police service” . Want me to explain that to you?

Anonaman, you are making a false presumption. Garrison is not intrested in open minded discussion of any topic, especially this one. Garrison is quite comfortable wrapped tightly in his leftist dogma.

Any opinion not in sync with his mentors at moveon and dailyKos is either evil, ignorant, or “redneck.” On any topic from union membership to banning guns, Garrison considers himself righteous enough to decide not only for himself, but for everyone else. He will distort facts and twist reality as much as necessary to sell his snake oil. If the facts still don’t support his views, he’ll use emotions to bury any logic standing in his way.

Garrison despises those of us who think independently and demonstrate self reliance. People like us threaten the relevance of his revered unions and eighty percent of his holy government.

You have provided an excellent synopsis of Mr. Garrison’s technique. It is usually a waste of time to be dragged into a discussion with an ideologue with no interest in logically analyzing a situation based on the facts. I have no problem debating any issue on its merits with both sides learning from the position of the other party. However, with Mr. Garrison I do not believe there is the desire or ability on his part to have that type of discussion

Garrison reminds me of the Code Pink Nazi’s in Berkeley. They are VERY tolerant of people who agree with everything they say, and militant in their hatred toward anyone who disagrees with their agenda/ideals.

Bb….if you knew anything about union members you’ld know never to discuss gun control.
One way to seperate a union member from his union his to threaten to take away his gun.

Union members don’t mind if Republicans steal their [living] wages and pensions, but don’t ever let a Democrat suggest sensible gun laws….That’s how we end up with union members endorsing corporate Republicans…..Take my job to China, but leave my gun alone.

See, I think posts like #36 show Garrison isn’t a total lost cause! I secretly hold out hope that we can convince Garrison to buy a gun and become a CCW holder. A Smith and Wesson M&P would be perfect for him, they are made in Massachusetts by American workers. No out sourced parts for that grand old US firm.

Garrison - Is like the Code Pink Gay Mafia in Berkeley…tolerance and free speech are for the left wing psychopaths only. Conservatives should be silenced and killed.

That pretty much sums up Garrison’s mentality.

You guys are right on track. I am 22, and I can’t wait until I am eligble to register to obtain my CC permit. I don’t plan on carrying it on my hip all of the time, but I do think that the forefathers of our Country intended on law abiding citizens being able to obtain firearms and use them for personal protection. After all, isn’t the old slogan “Guns Don’t Kill People, People Kill People?” Guns do not have a free will, nor do they load themselves, point their barrels at unsuspecting citizens, then pull their own trigger. There comes a time when you must see a tragedy for what it is: A Tragedy. When a tragedy occurs, people often look to point the blame to somewhere. Sometimes, there are just people who go crazy and do things that are unimaginable. That will continue, even if they ban firearms, concealed or not.

Now do you know why we worry about our children? This 22 year old kid can’t wait until he’s eligibel to register and carry……Probably the same kid who waited 14 hours outside “Best Buy” because he couldn’t wait for his new X-Box “Killer Commando Series”.
