I agree that it's a tragedy, but still only a personal one. I'd think that you'd believe George Bush ending up in that category would be an aversion of a natioanl tragedy. :D Also, agree with your first point as well.... [Read More]

Given that the number is only 181 (out of ~300 million), it fails to rise to the level of national crisis. I do agree, somewhat, with your attitude toward irresponsible parenting on this subject. Of course, if applied to most criminals that use viole... [Read More]

Actually, if the statitics are correct, then it merely highlights the fact/position that gun related fatalities--while individually tragic--don't amount to a national crisis that justifies the govt in heavily restricting gun ownership. Afterall.....w... [Read More]

Or not at all, I guess it's a cultural thing, but confronting someone who might very well be armed for the sake of your belongings seems rather stupid to me. Actually, I wasn't sure if you meant the perps or their victims could use bats and knives i... [Read More]

Well, I'm going to guess you mean that the "victims" arm themselves w/bats, etc... Main problem I see is that if I'm a perp and can/will get guns to commit my crimes, my pistol will generally trump your bat/knife in fairly close quarters (e... [Read More]

As regards gun laws, I've always heard that it was the cities and states with the strictest gun control laws and regs that tended to have the highest incidence of violent crime. When a scumbag has to worry about whether or not his intended victims ca... [Read More]

I guess I don't view agnostics as being "neutral" so much as "uncommitted". Thinking that it's equal parts likely and unlikely that god exists isn't exactly a reasonable position either. Yet more rational than claiming they do/d... [Read More]
