Besides hunting Elk in Montana, can anyone make a good case why we need guns in this country?

I was so civil for years to these jerks that I was praised by someone many of us know and respect from past forums and the real world for my "grace under pressure" and was nominated by her as presidential material.

No mas.

It doesn't faze them. Reportedly like the Arab cuilture, all they know is force, and I reserve the right to shovel it right back at them when I so choose. It's too bad so many of them are so shameless they don't even care if I forward their posts to coworkers and employers; they think this is how normal people behave, for only one reason I can fathom: it apparently IS how the people they hang with behave. If I behaved towards upright hominids the way I sometimes now do towards these invertebrates, I'd be hanging my head in shame. One would think the more intelligent liberals would take a hint from their decent members like coboardhead, but NOOOOOO ... his rational example of how to disagree civilly just soars miles above their heads. They regard his occasional lapses as carte blanche to do nothing but $#!+ in our living room, just as their incessant, nothing but trash talk gives me every right to wade into the cesspool with them now and then as long as I can back up my trash with facts ... something they refuse to do and/or cannot do when challenged to do so.

I just didn't realize how representative of a whole segment of the population my NM neighbor of 20 years ago was: so arrogant and dumb that he boasted in signed letters to us (Jere Millard, PhD ... as though that mattered when he's poisoning pets or demanding that we turn off our porch light) about poisoning my golden retriever because it stepped on his adjoining desert acreage. Fortunately for him, we didn't know he was responsible for it until a year or two later (his PhD specialty is toxicology; the state crime lab couldn't detect whatever he used); had I caught him real time for that (or when he threw a rock at my wife) he would have done some major time in a hospital. I now realize he wasn't that unique, particularly since Chandler so publicly advocates killing barking neighborhood pets.

I finally understand why politics is not a valid topic in polite society. It's just too toxic when irrational people on either side get involved. HOWEVER, I have yet to see a bible thumper do any more than tell me matter-of-factly that I'm going to hell because I'm not a Catholic; that's a different world from the baseless personal attacks so common here.

The Founding Fathers made it very clear who they felt should carry guns
"well organized militias"
Two good old boys in a pickup truck drunk on their asses in a bar in Arizona with two handguns each hidden in their jackets was not what they had in mind.Or a psycho whose mental health records the Arizona Gov. hasn't bothered to put in that pesky gun permit check registry.

There are plenty of countries where guns are not controlled.Afghanistan,Liberia,Somalia...
America is not like those places ,but it is always good to see which way we are going.
They have low taxes and no socialism at all as well. And to make newly elected Congressman Paul happy-no IRS or Dept of Education

Hey Bard...there are some tasty waves in Somalia, why dont you take up residence in a nice pad in downtown Mogadishu? No poofters, no taxes, no GOVT, sounds like a Bardman Utopia!
