"""On a lower level of abstraction, there are more than 2 million instances a year of the armed citizen deterring or stopping armed criminals; a number four times that of all crimes involving firearms."""" Mamet.

You won't read that in the NY Times - until Trump buys it.

Again, more emphasis needs to be placed on the rational proponents of our second ammendment. Only the rabid anti gun blatherers are getting any air time, and their arguments don't hold up under scrutiny. The are playing on the fears of a gun-ignorant populace, and this is going to have disastrous repercussions if they actually enact the ridiculous measures being called for. How many more industries are going to buckle, how many more people will be out of work because of blind ignorance?

A ray of hope. I am always encouraged when the lights come on for a former liberal of note. "Recrudescence" great word! Great article!
Thanks for bringing it to us fivedollargold.

WE ARE RESPONSIBLE??? We didn't take a handgun into a school and kill 20 children, a crazy person did. I can't take it. In Chicago, (Illinois, the lone state that bans concealed carry), kids on street corners don't have that protection because it was taken away from them by people like the idiot in the video, and here we are..... fighting for our 2nd Amendment.
