Criminals don't come out of nowhere. Ordinary people can be instant law-breakers under some circumstances.
why do the anti gun extremists feel a need to jack this poll?
I have nothing against gun ownership. On the other hand, lately it seems that many Americans use gun rights as a way to hold the USA hostage. They want to hold a gun to everyones' head by pretending to merely be complaining for gun rights. What I suspect they want is a hostile takeover and to follow Pol Pot's idea for Cambodia inside America, force everyone into an agrarian lifestyle, set landmines everywhere to blow our legs off, then set up sanctions so we are all near death in understaffed hospitals without enough medicine.
What else would you expect of those who have an agenda that they know damn well cannot be successfuly promoted honestly, but only through lies and deception?
Walmart has really nothing to do with the story, that "accident" could happen anywhere, its the gun that is the issue not her little boy. I support her right to have a hand gun with her, however I think far too many people have them to feel a false sense of security. Trayvon Martin probably would be alive today if Zimmerman didn't have a gun with him. I don't own a gun and would not let one in our home unless it was a police officer that had it. My bother owned a gun and his grandson found it and committed suicide with it.
The woman who was shot and killed by her two-year-old son at a Walmart in Idaho wasn't safe, if she didn't take her gun she would be alive today. She was less safe.
1st - Thanks for showing that you just did a knee jerk reaction rather than even bothering to read my (strangely short) post. My point wasn't about Walmart.
2nd - Your original point indicated NOTHING to do with "false sense of security". Your random personal anecdotes or your predictions also don't edit your point. Your original post I respond to was this:
The ONLY argument you put forth there is that "If she didn't take her gun she would be alive today". That is the ONLY argument you put forth there. The logic of that argument is that without [x] then [y] would happen.
That exact same logic could be used to say that without her 2 year old there (the [x] in this case) she would be alive today (the [y]).
My statement regarding your "logic" in that post was dead on, and nothing you posted argues against that. The ONLY argument you actually made in that original post was that if ONE particular thing was different (not having the gun) than she'd be alive, and THEREFORE she as less safe.
My statement about her two year old used that exact same logic; and you've yet to show how that's not the case.
Now, if you want to admit that you were overly simplistic and hyperbolic in your initial comment and reasoning...and then add additional caveats and reasoning as to why she's "less safe" then be my guest. But if you want to ignore the fact that your original logic was amazingly broad and questionable, while trying to add a bunch of additional caveats and notions that you didn't actually claim onto it, then don't be surprised when you're called on such bull****.
in more than 9 years on this board, I have seen tons of hysterically loony comments about gun owners and gun ownership. some come from big government fan boys who pretend that anyone who wants the same defensive weaponry as civilian police officers do so for the reason that such gun owners want to kill police officers. but this claim of yours comparing gun owners with a communist gun banner like Pol Pot might take the award.
...relief organizations supplied the Khmer Rouge resistance movement with food and medicines.... In the Fall of 1979 the Khmer Rouge were the most desperate of all the refugees who came to the Thai-Kampuchean border. Throughout l900, however, their health rapidly improved, and relief organizations began questioning the legitimacy of feeding them. The Khmer Rouge. . . having regained strength...had begun actively fighting the Vietnamese. The relief organizations considered supporting the Khmer Rouge inconsistent with their humanitarian goals.... Yet Thailand, the country that hosted the relief operation, and the U.S. government, which funded the bulk of the relief operations, insisted that the Khmer Rouge be fed.
The Khmer Rouge had plenty of guns just like you. All they need is a Confederate Battle Flag. I'm going to start calling the Stars and Bars flag the "Red Khmer". On the Side of Pol Pot: U.S. Supports Khmer Rouge

yawn, typical far left gun hater silliness
I'm not a gun hater. I want the normal folks in El Salvador and Nicaragua and all such lands that are or were oppressed by dictatorships to have guns so they can fight the American government that seeks to oppress them through anti-union capitalist domination of their natural resources. I would gladly donate money to Mayan Indian civilians in El Salvador, so they can have the guns they need to fight against American domination. if these normal folks dont have guns, the US or CIA might back a junta against them and they can all be killed. Their priests will be killed like Óscar Romero, who was killed by people trained at the School of the Americas in the state of Georgia.

I don't know about anyone else, but I always feel less safe being armed than not. I mean, why would anyone want to be able to defend himself against an armed attack, when he could just stand there like a good victim?
Ummm, who are the "normal people" in El Salvador? And have you ever been there?
do you have a che poster and a beret?:mrgreen:
USA Über alles!!
Nope, just a belief that the US government exploits Latin America, having nothing to do with Che or youth rebellion. Its merely something I believe to be a fact. My brain doesnt work well with contradictions.
you happen to have any association with CISPES or the "Christic" Institute?
No, but they are very interesting. I did donate money to the SOAWatch though and even now I have a refrigerator magnet from them!
SOA Watch: Close the School of the Americas
Nope, just a belief that the US government exploits Latin America, having nothing to do with Che or youth rebellion. Its merely something I believe to be a fact. My brain doesnt work well with contradictions. Also, I dont like American culture. And Europeans are no good either. The only thing left is Latin America. It makes logical sense.
I can assure you that if you haven't spent significant time in Central America, you don't have a clear understanding of the cultures or the political realities.
This sounds racist. [emoji58]
