  if your a comedian with a blog, your put yourself out there for ridicule. after all he did say he was an ex-hoodlum. I understand Japan's freedom of speech if limited. Its funny though how in 2000 during the sydney olympics on NHK news, it opened up with fireworks, and a voice saying something to the affect "its the f-ing olympics" but my friends cant put out a song that has the word p*ss in japanese in the title. The point is, for a comedian, someone who is supposed to be able to take what he dishes out, he folded really quick even for an ex ho0dlum. I understand he was called a murder, but ive been called a murder, and i didnt cry, i just ignored the comment(s).

  i respect all your opinions, you do what you will, cest la vie. Ive never been involved in shoot outs, but they are becomming increasingly common, its absurd to be so idealistic to think something random couldt happen to you. I mean thats why people keep fire extinguisers and first aid kits. Its about being prepared in the event. This stuff is more prevalent now, so you either adapt, or become a potential victim. Like i said, i respect opposing view, but im saying anyplace in the world is violent. people didnt expect what happend in india, and UK has been having problems with knife violence. Mexico drug cartels are running rampant and beheadings. hmmm. . . I respect you. im not trying to change your mind.

  my suburb is the 6th safest in US. dont feel sorry for me in fine, i never have been assualted. Guns are everywhere in america, if you want to pretend that arnt, ignorance is bliss. I love my family to the point where im doing everything i can to make sure random events such as this k mart incident would play out differently. In the course they say that the odds are you will never have to pull out your gun, but if your family was threatend, what would you do? complain?

  adaydream,

  you are confused. You dont need a permit to buy a gun or steal a gun. If you want to legally carry a side arm in some states, you need to obtain a permit through proper classes and training and background checks. I dont think he would have been eligible for this. I dont think it would have mattered. Even if he couldnt buy a gun legally, he could have easily stolen one. You cannot take guns off the streets now. There are to0 many that are serial scrapes and stolen to account for all of them. i dont understand what your saying. maybe what your saying looks good on paper, but its not reality.

  smith, im sure he did have guns at his house, almost everyone does. Its the second ammendment. Guns are dangerous yeah, but you shouldnt rely on the goverment to take care of every aspect in your life. remember katrina? If you are in this situation (an innocent bystander in a shootout) and someone with a permit saved you, youd tell them about how they shouldt have had the right to carry that? regardless who has guns, guns destroy. They are already in the hands of criminals. . . so. . how do you reason with criminals? the same way as terrorists?

  If you think this was caused by legal gun permits, your crazy. Regardless of gun permits or not, he would have killed. Do you think if carrying guns is illegal, it will deter criminals from doing it? Does making drugs or prostitution illegal stop it? I live in texas where we (if you have no felonies and take a gun safety and marksman course) you can carry a handgun. I think its a right we should take advantage of. In those states where there are no concealed carry permits, citizens are easy pickins for criminals who would disregard the law anyway. In houston, alot of people are armed, and thugs may think twice about robbing someone because of this simple fact. What about school or mall shootings? (ie WA last year) an albanian gunman was killed by an off duty police officer before he could inflict major casulaties. what about at VT? maybe it could have been prevented if we re-evaluated those unwarranted fears. There are home invasions, car jackings, armed robberies at places of business. I dont know about yall, but when im walking with my 8yr old daughter in a parking lot to my car at night, i feel safe to know i have a 45. by my side. Those who are anti-guns, if your life was threatend by a gunman, and you were saved by a responsible citizen who took adavantage of their right to carry, im sure you would change your tune. but probably not, because liberals are pretty brainwashed into listening to their higher ups.
