The SCOTUS live in wonderland, protected on all sides everywhere. Let them move to a rough DC (and now, Chicago) neighborhood and ride the bus to work without their chauffeurs and bodyguards and retainers. Let 'em get held up at gunpoint a few times as they walk to the corner grocery. Let 'em wake up! If they're so concerned about the Constitution, how about working on separation of church and state?
I pray that none of the poor suckers who think owning a handgun will protect themselves or their loved ones never shoot a loved one--or themselves--by accident. The only reason to buy or own a gun like that is to kill someone. I doubt if you're that nervous. I doubt if you really want to kill someone, so don't get a handgun. Don't allow one in your house. Don't hang around with people who need a handgun to feel brave.
This is the issue that divides my siblings and we can't talk about it anymore. Arrgh. The D.N.
ReplyDeleteoy...there is something SERIOUSLY wrong with people who feel they need handguns to protect themselves. they just haven't thought it through. they imagine that pulling a gun on an intruder will SCARE the intruder away--that the intruder will raise his hands, drop his gun, and run like hell for safety.
ReplyDeletemost intruders in these parts don't even wait to blast away when they see some nervous nellie homeowner fumbling around with a handgun. bangbangbangbangbangbang! everyone's dead--except the intruder.
