Denver Post: Why own a gun?

[bogie]

The democrats want the country to be one big ghetto..Then they can be the "smart and rich ones"..

Exactly... three classes in 1984
Inner Party
Outer Party
The Proles

Some decent comments but look at this one... Wow

Again... Below is a comment from this artical

Guns for hunters - perfectly good idea.

Guns for home protection - this is moronic. The US is very safe.

What the NRA has sold to morons is the idea of fear. Most gun owners are cowardly stupid people. They are too stupid to realize that THEY are the problem. The NUMBER of guns is what is destroying this country. Plus the gun show loophole, in which one moron sells a dangerous weapon to another moron who is usually mentally ill, a felon, or an abusive spouse seeking to take out wife/husband.

I read that one too. At least some of the other posters were surprisingly flaming this guy.

Since 90 present of guns crimes are committed by liberals, why not just
Ban guns from liberals.

Just remember the Denver Post endorsed O and that's why they are spitting fire out their butts! Last I saw it was a tie and it seems the decision will come down to CO.

I still don't understand the logic of disarming the GG's will get rid of the BG's and America will be a safer place. Other countries that do NOT allow guns are safer and have NO crime. I heard this the other day and threw up in my mouth a little and wanted to slap the MF. Just because some other countries do NOT have guns does not mean they do NOT have murders or robberies ect. It just means that now when they want to defend themselves they have to find a different means. Anyways comparing us to other countries is irrelevant this is AMERICA and we have the 2nd A from our founding fathers.

Logic?!? There is no logic and leftists use BGs as straw men anyway.

The only reason they want gun control is so they can disembowel the constitution and make you a serf.

I voted for O because he has my best interests in mind and will keep me safe. I do not know what you guys are talking about guns are evil and kill people even if you just look at one. I feel so much safer with a baseball bat to protect myself, especially if gun control is instated cause then no criminals will have guns. Mine have been melted down and used for a beautiful sculpture in my living room. Yes big brother will protect me so I have nothing to worry about and therefor have no need to own a gun.

[Troublco]

Yeah, I loved the baseball bat commenter myself. Or the one who said that hunters are cowards. What a twit.

[hatidua]

The only reason I own a gun is because I tried to help out a member here who seemed to need to sell one. -just trying to help my fellow citizen and all...

You don't have to own a car.

You can choose to ride the bus, or if your more affluent you can hail that cab to see you to your destination.

Its a choice. You could by a Prius - and feel smug that your helping the environment. Or you could buy a Mustang GT500 or Z06 Corvette. No one needs a car that can travel at speeds nearly 3x the interstate speed limits... but its a matter of choice not need.

Likewise that Prius owner could have a CCW with a Beretta 25acp in pocket. But if that Prius owner is MY size he could almost as easily carry a Desert Eagle XIX in 50AE. Is it really needed, a 50AE semi-auto pistol for self defence? Again its simply a matter of personal choice. I would point out that pointing a 50 at someone is more likely to end a confrontation, without a need for actual firing than screaming "I have a gun" and whipping out your pocket Beretta.

Both cars and guns can kill people - guess which kills more each day.

BTW - No I don't lug around a boat anchor of a Desert Eagle as my carry gun.

No guns for me. Lost them in a boating accident and never got any new ones. Your all just a bunch of gun slinging crazies!
