So you are all talk and a hipposcrite to boot. Another Liberal Democrat trait. Everyone else should give but not you.
As I was typing a response to you I had to go back and review some of your comments as well as mine to ensure i wasnt taking anything out of context or misquoting you. I came across this post #132 Which is mine and is what apparently set you off.
Quote by DRcoastline "Esel Mann, You should read all my posts don't take one out of context and imply that I think a law should replace personal responsibility. I do think people should be responsible for their own security. If you read my other posts on this thread you will see that on several occasions I have said I have no problem with people carrying and going into a store. I think overall it would curtail crime. The bad guy may think twice before holding up a store, mugging a person or car jacking someone at a light. Not to take this thread off topic but I think people should should be responsible for themselves in many other areas as well. I don't want to subsidies food stamps, unemployment or housing. NOTHING. I have my family and I am responsible for them. Not someone Else's unless I feel compelled to help.
Now back on topic. In addition to being responsible for their own security I think there are certain instances that people should be able to expect a certain level of security over and above what they do for themselves. Especially in cases where their are compelled to be somewhere by law or in places where a higher propensity for violence may exists.
My suggestion is an alternative to placing more laws on the public and on gun owners. The last thing I think our country needs are more laws to criminalize law abiding citizens which are the far majority in this country.
No law is going to stop a person who isn't in their right mind. Whether it be from drugs, alcohol, schizophrenia you name it. What may work is trying to set up a line of defense so a person like this can not gain access to people in certain situations that could cause mass injuries while possessing a weapon."
From that post widefifteen posted #156 and you posted #157

A lot of people feel that way. "Screw you, I've got mine."
I'm not wired that way. I think we are better than animals (though even some animals take care of each other). I think our capacity for empathy and to help others, both through government and individually, is part of what makes us human. But God did choose humans, of all His creation, to have consciousness of good an evil - so you can make the decision you've made and I can make the one I've made."
