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.

Well here we go

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!
