Stating that guns are only made to kill is inane and obvious. It would be better to address whether or not killing is bad. (for the record, I don't believe all killing is bad. Some people need killing.)<BR/><BR/>3. To have a libertarian view of drug control and a socialist view of gun control is hypocrisy. (I think both should be legal to own unrestricted and users punished severly for misuse)<BR/><BR/>4. The anti-American comments are really unnecessary and small minded.<BR/><BR/>5. I hope as a educator, you present information without bias. If you taught the crap you post here to my son without a balancing argument, I would be pissed.<BR/><BR/>6. For the record, I am a firearms enthusiast. I am not pro-cop (the term elitist parasite comes to mind)nor do I subscribe to the "militia" mentality. Self sufficiency and pure libertarianism are the order of the day for me.Gerald Wryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10420923268688458586noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9311998.post-7451522658827082572007-06-12T16:00:00.000-07:002007-06-12T16:00:00.000-07:00Of course I am harsh on the gun nutz cause I grew ...Of course I am harsh on the gun nutz cause I grew up with them, and knew many whose Republican politics made them more American than most Americans, and they supported the Reform Party. While most gun collectors have plenty of rifles they really love their handguns and their automatic weapons, machine gunds etc.<BR/>Most are pro-cop, pro-military, and thus end up being Militia minded right wingers.<BR/><BR/>I thought it was interesting as I perused my old pals web sites, like Dave Tomlinson of the NFA, that they promote hand guns more so than those long rifles and shot guns that their much beloved farmers and hunters use.EUGENE PLAWIUKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11736971647879996375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9311998.post-63363036019056984392007-06-12T15:57:00.000-07:002007-06-12T15:57:00.000-07:00Because drugs don't kill people prohibition does. ...Because drugs don't kill people prohibition does.

I believe in the past you've spoken in favour of legalizing pot b/c prohibition doesn't work.<BR/><BR/>WHy then do you believe prohibition will work in the case of handguns, when it hasn't for pot?? Seems a little inconsistent.<BR/><BR/>(for the record, I support legalizing pot myself)McGuirehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12771682181997456163noreply@blogger.com
