    A while back I worked with a guy from tennessee, as big of a hick as hick can be.

    ever see king of the hill? know that toon on the show called boomhauer? I shit you not this guy sounded exactly like him when he talked.

    tried to talk guns with him and was surprised to find that he didn't like them or own any, and didn't think anybody else should be allowed to.

    his reason?

    he said that if he owned a gun he didn't think he'd be able to not get mad and shoot someone with it.

    Elhuero> No problem with that. At least he is smart enough to make the right choice in not owning a gun because he knows that he wouldn't be able to control himself when he got mad if he did.

    True, but he thought all guns should be banned for the same reason.

    he was sure that there were people out there crazier than he and didn't want them to do the same thing.

    I think that a lot of it is that in these days you're not allowed to "label" people. I work up at CSU and it is always surprising to me how hesitant people - students, faculty, and staff - are to address it when somebody is having substantial mental problems. They don't want to get somebody in trouble, or be accused of labeling somebody.

    I also think that as the national population density increases people with mental problems are increasingly forced into much closer proximity with others where decades ago they might have lived with fewer stimuli to make their problems worse.

    the gun control crazies are just that, crazy.

    this guy would not have been stopped. he was a loner, a loser, a pot smoker, a conspiracy theorist, a drop out, and couldn't get in the .mil. the guy was an absolute failure.

    he would have got his drug dealer to get him a gun. we would have got a gun no matter what. he could have got ammo just as easy.

    thinking more gun control is going to equal out to less crime and less murders and deaths is just another farce that has been proven over and over, especially with clintons AWB. even the gun control advocates somewhat understand this.

    there has been way too many positives for the pro-2nd crowd in the last few years, even with a democratic controlled house senate and white house to have anything too serious even have a chance to make it to a vote. what that tells me is the supreme court is one of the most important places we need to have a majority. 2nd is that we need to keep the voice of the people free, keep on the elected officials and let them know we will not give up our rights. we will remove them from office, just as we did in 2010.

    (R) King up in NY should be next on the list and needs to be removed next time the vote comes up. his bullshit elitist comments need to be taken seriously, not lightly. he is on the side of bloomberg, MAIG and the other gun control advocates that believe they are above the ordinary citizen. fuck them all.

    1000' bubble around elected officials? ask Kennedy how that worked for him. Kennedy wasn't killed by a high cap mag gun, he wasn't killed with a semi-auto. yet those "evil" guns are on the hit list for the anti-gunners.
    more ignorance in this world as a result of liberals.
    All I have in this world is my balls and my word and I don't break em for no one.

    I still contend that until you can remove the evil out of the hearts of people (never happen), we will always have violent crimes against others.

    Why'd you put pot smoking on the list?
