How true; we have to call out the NRA on the use of phrases like "law abiding". No one can accurately predict future criminal behavior. And if they are so "law abiding" then they would be happy to follow strict gun regulations and background checks; no?


"Law Abiders" should welcome new laws to "Abide by"

been known in criminology circles since at least 1890. 90 percent of all murderers have long criminal records as adults and as juveniles. The past is the best predictor of the future.

Is it just me or does anybody else notice that these loyal gun worshipers are acting like Bilbo Baggins. Do you remember how Bilbo
acted when he touched that ring and got a high off of it like a drug addict! And now their high priest has proclaimed that they will
never give up their false god -- no matter how many babies, sons, daughters, mothers, fathers, husbands, wives, are killed. Or from
a their point of view, sacrificed to it.

Perhaps they would be useful against a stubborn "bambi" that refuses to drop, or a "prowler" that actually may be a friend/neighbor just visiting, or...but say what you will, that Parah Salin sure looks sexy with that gun! Well, maybe a little embarrassing...but hey, we'z just foolin' 'round...
