Very Liberal Newspaper sees the benefit of CCW
http://www.freep.com/news/politics/polcol19_20040419.htm

"It's been quite a streak for those who believe that the more guns we have, the safer we are.

Last week, an east-side Detroit woman killed an armed man who attacked her as she was entering her house. She pulled a 9mm gun from her purse -- she has a concealed weapons permit -- and dispatched him with two shots to his head.

The man had a history of burglaries.

It's the kind of story gun advocates jump on as evidence that allowing more people to carry guns can save them from harm.

There's more."

If anyone doubts that the Free Press is a liberal newspaper, just ask anyone from Michigan.

4. Funny, the conclusion is...
"But a powerful gun lobby that views 80,000 firearm casualties a year as an argument for more guns defies common sense.

It does have more money, however, which in politics sometimes trumps reason. "

5. Which is why, my dear young Bench, I am so looking
forward to our little conversation in September.

I'm just going to give you a little sneak peek: The converstion starts with me saying "I told you so" on the day the AWB expires....

14. Why wait until September?
It's not like we don't have RKBA "enthusiasts" rooting now for Tom DeLay to succeed.

19. How many states now have Shall Issue CCW?
Seems like your side is losing ground, despite the constant gnashing of teeth from the anti side.

7. And only you would believe there are 80,000 gun deaths a year...
Edited on Mon Apr-19-04 08:08 PM by Township75
by next week, I imagine you will be posting crap like 8 million gun deaths per year.

But don't take the hooey out of your posts at this point...it just wouldn't be bench without all the hooey

8. But reading "casualties" and distorting it to "deaths"...
Is typical for you and your trigger-happy clump of "enthusiasts." It's that sort of scrupulous honesty and attention to detail that makes the RKBA creed the big old steaming pile of horseshit that it is.

What do you hear from my radio program?

10. Ask town...
He's the one that seems to hear it out of thin air....although fly has pretended he can hear it too, for whatever bizarre reason.

13. Gee, fly...
You're the one who said (after town had spouted some rubbish about a supposed radio show and I wondered aloud what the hell he was babbling about)...

22. It's not that hard to figure out...
and the fact that somebody is having problems understanding him is really quite surprising. No, wait a minute. Nah, I take that back, it's not very surprising at all."

15. I'm glad you realize...
...the idea of you having a radio show is rubbish. It would scare Democrats away from the party in droves.

16. Who the fuck are you kidding, roe?
Most Democrats wouldn't be scared to hear somebody ragging on right wing pieces of shit like this talentless humhole...

But then so few Democrats I know would be fooled into thinking American Daily was anything other than vile Nazi horseshit...or are rooting for Tom DeLay to block the AWB renewal...or weep with anguish because the scummy gun industry can still get sued...

...a radio show by you would be rubbish, not me. Why don't you call yourself some names for awhile?

18. No, roe...
reading comprehension seems to be non-existent among the trigger happy lately...what were those symptoms of lead poisoning again?

"...lead poisoning can cause learning disabilities, attention deficit disorders, lowered IQ, and anti-social behavior."

http://www.lead-info.com/symptoms.html

Boy howdy, if that doesn't describe the RKBA crowd to a "T".

21. And this coming from someone
that post for post has the most spelling mistakes of everyone even though a spell checker has been provided free of charge. Get that blood test yet?

20. Nice try, but you're wrong...
I have never addressed a radio show on this website.
