That's pretty absurd.

Ok, I did.

I will say it's pretty interesting, and also full of horse hockey. A brutally extended bout of mental masturbation intended only to reach a foregone conclusion.

Again, I'm not anti-gun and I do believe there are plenty of gun control myths. But the average Joe has about as much constitutional right to own a firearm as they do to drive the kids to school in an F-16.

Just because people think the Second Amendment gives a right to gun ownership doesn't make it a Constitutional right...and the issue to my knowledge hasn't ever been upheld citing the 2nd Amendment in the high courts.

Until then it's just a right granted under current laws and not the Constitution. Or so it appears to me...

No but the attitude that "Give them what they want and they won't hurt you"has allowed crime to run rampant in this country.And yes I'll say it that attitude allowed three airplanes to be flown into buildings only the fourth was prevented from doing so because the folks on THAT plane realized it was a bunch of BS.

And no matter how someone might try to analyze the above statement it is absolutely 100% true.

How does this apply to crime?Easy if the thugs knew that they couldn't get what they wanted without a struggle there would much LESS crime.Basically put a gun right back in their face and say "Sorry chump not me,not today".

The correct answer is to
A- give them your $$
then, B- shoot them in the back of the head as they are walking away.
Then C- take your $$ back, plus his $$ and gun.
