you live in a land where you think half the population is out to get you
Cleo, that's hysterically nonsensesical. d The Second Amendment of my Constitution legally gives a citizen the right to defend themselves with a firearm. Period.

dolphingirl, it's not a matter of national paranoia.
dolphingirl, this: It is morally acceptable - man, woman or child - to defend with lethal force the threat of lethal force upon them.
Do you disagree that an individual is morally correct to kill someone who would kill them?
Nevermind bazookas, grenade launchers and other silly, implausable arguments,

Preston, it's what we call our Second Amendment.
The 56 YO elderly woman who killed an intruder at the same time she was on the line beggin' for help used a shotgun which is legal in most Western and non-Western countries. Do you object?

It may difficult for you to understand but America is a nation of rebels as well as a nation of laws.

30061015, like the bumper sticker says:
"Everyone's polite when you don't know who's armed."
30061015, makes some jobless punk givin' someone the finger on the highway think three times about it beforehand, eh?

dolphingirl, listen to yourself...
By your reasonin' I should've lied back and enjoyed it and not troubled anyone else.
The police? They don't normally show up to prevent anything. They show up to try and stop what may still be ongoin' and count the bodies before they even got the call.
dolphingirl, don't be silly... my guy was not there to sell me Girl Scout Cookies in the middle of the night at my back door.
Yes, dolphingirl, you're right. I should've allowed my wife, my family or myself to be terrorized or murdered. At least I would've spared someone such as yourself whose philosophy towards non-violence supercedes my own philosophy of self-defense against someone who will only show his intention to murder when he's followin' through with it.. I'm sorry I put some non-violent person such as yourself at personal risk. Mea culpa.

Cleo, there are over 300-million Americans and you point to one incident that I believe shamex one American husband and his wife? So, Cleo, how did - was it Louisiana - react? Was the husband charged?
Even in England you've got bobbies in bullet-proof vests and protestin' citizens demandin' their gun rights back exactly because people who believe as you have left them defenseless.
Your violent crime rate has risen since you - you - disarmed law-abidin' Brit citizens.
Enjoy your dogs, play on the computer, save the whales, ignore your husband who already ignored you, play at moralizin' about stuff you don't live.
I love ya, Cleo. I hope we can enjoy some tea and biscuits some day.

Sushi, sorry...
I thought your post had somethin' to do with President Obama bein' a modicum (?) of responsible for current American economic affairs.
Please let me know when you think he's the president of the United States of America so we can continue our discussion.

dolphingirl, it's estimated that in America a firearm is brandished between two and three million times a year to prevent crime. By 'brandished' I meand 'displayed openly' to someone bent on naughtiness.
From personal experience, I can tell ya that one time someone tried to come on to my property to either steal something or kill my wife and rape the dog.
Seriously, all I had to do was brandish my lethal weapon to that dude and he ran in the opposite direction as fast as he could, probably to victimize someone who was not so well armed.
Did I call the police? No. I didn't want to spent a lotta useless time explainin' my lawful conduct. Did the bad guy call 911 and report me? I guess not, 'cause nobody came back and queried me on that.
Did I want to kill that guy? Probably. Did the situation legally warrant grantin' me my fantasy? I don't think so. When merely met with threat of lethal force, your - your - worst nightmare chickened out.

I don't think I could even outrun an old Derringer bullet*
M16... Derringer... There ain't any real significant difference if the shooter with either has anyone in his physical sights, numbskull.
You should be "concerned about violent crimes that end in death". You should also run your (dame-da) cyberspace mouth to support those who end up havin' to use lethal force against those lowlifes who would use lethal force against them.
C'mon, numbskull... When push comes to shove, dya think people with your philosphy will save their lives?
Ho, ho, ho... It's Christmas, not April Fool's.

Nessie... Darwinism happens...
Truth be told, the average American gun owner is more proficient, i.e. accurate, with his personal weapon than the average police officer or average soldier.
The average American gun-owner doesn't shy away from gun safety courses and was probably reared by a responsible firearm-ownin' adult.
You may know already that 'America gun deaths numbers' would drop precipitously if we took 'urban' gun statistics outta the equation. Fools with guns and their lives are soon parted.
There used to be a word for a factor that skewed truer gradin' indications but it escapes me right now.
For me, the best part of shootin' is usin' a quality weapon and hittin' what I aimed at. The worst part?: Bein' a responsible gun owner and meticulously cleanin' the firearm afterwards.
Most of my quality firearms are made in Eurabia, not the USA. I don't, however, dispute that the US makes the finest firearms. It's a good argument.

I was lookin' forward to a new Law and Order almost an hour ago in its designated time-slot.
Nope. NBC pre-empted it with all these chicks goin' on about Woods.
America, JapanToday and I just can't get away from this circus.

Question, I believe the argument of the NRA is the Second Amendment to the United States Constition.
Since President Obama's election, firearms sales in Hawaii have gone up something like 400 percent. I believe national trends may be similar.
If anything, with high volume sales, President Obama should be a one-man tidal wave in drivin' your and my costs down.
