That's why you have law enforcement units.
Anyway, I don't want to ignite a firearms legislation debate, that is not the place for it

Yes, it would be worse that the animal we can not mention

Then you shouldn't have made such an idiotic statement here.
You don't get to say something inflammatory and then cry "this isn't the place".

I would argue his statement is not idiotic at all, but in fact, quite true. But then again, I'm writing this from Canada, where we have very strict gun laws....which results in very low gun violence.

I also agree that no good can come from debating this here....this is a topic where logic steps out and emotion steps in.

For a minute there I thought I clicked on Timco's shooters thread.

Decided to drive the 911 to work about 30 min drive. a hole decided to ride my tail, so I ignored him (good for me) he then passed me on the shoulder (nice) nice single finger suggestions not watching the road and at the last moment he saw the cop car braked but to late. Blue lights and he I think he is still explaining what his grand master plan was to drive on the shoulder. Karma is a real MF.

I was driving the speed limit in the right lane passing an entrance ramp when I heard loud engine noise off my right rear corner. At that point I noticed a pickup truck apparently at wide open throttle racing up the ramp determined to cut me off. He didn't notice the car behind him was a cop. I moved over a lane to get myself, and my daughter out of the idiots way just as the red and blue lights came on. Occasionally there is a cop when you need one!

Not at all. Idiotic because only idiots think disarming law abiding citizens who aren't committing crimes will keep the bad guys from doing wrong.

And allowing "law abiding citizens" to own firearms prevent "bad guys from doing wrong"? Do I have to understand that "more arms = less crime"?

It's actually a fact in many major cities, but likely has more to do with wealth in certain areas and demographics than the concealed or open carried gun.

Yes and no. Yes that is correct but no I don't expect you to understand.

It's amazing us Canadians, and those Brits, and those Australians and New Zealanders haven't all killed each other, what with no guns to protect themselves. Damn Gun Control has made our countries so unsafe!!

Oh well, I guess we will just have to live with all our school shootings and stay inside all night.

And Timco - don't you DARE touch our bagged milk!!

I will assume this is just a question of education and cultural difference...
I don't expect you to understand there are other point of views than the US mainstream
