From: "Tom Childs" twc@globalvillagemanagers.com Tolby,
As an ex-Marine, international shooter for
about 40 years, taught to appreciate and understand firearms at the age of 12,
and a Life Member of the NRA, I've naturally come across rather too many of your
ilk. Your statement repeated in the Arizona Republic demonstrates exactly what
species of Quisling you are.
Firstly - if you could read and understand a
statute, not immediately demonstrable from your alleged decision - and - second
- if you KNOW your Constitution and the Second Amendment - a Federal LAW that
isn't open to interpretation - (given there not being a State statute in this
case that enjoins this particular behavior) - AND - you weren't operating on
an independent agenda that supports pillorying innocent Bearers of Arms - you
wouldn't spout that crap about "Every study (you) (sic) have read says
the odds are more likely that a gun will do you or your family more harm than
good". Every day in this country - true patriots demonstrate just what
absolute CRAP that is! And perhaps more importantly, save either their own or
others' lives in the process!
There is a reading list that is longer than I
choose to bother to provide you, and which you have already demonstrated that
you wouldn't (couldn't?) read - that contravenes that absurdly Leftish statement
- in every manner - including legal - that one could wish for.
For a starter - however - and on the assumption
that you do anything other than watch Hillary and Diane posture on the TV, why
not try Professor John R. Lott, Jr.'s "More Guns, Less Crime..."
(Studies in Law and Economics - Chicago) - for a truly scholarly and vital
assessment of the fallacies in your alleged reasoning.
As for your - "Be honest with yourself and
ask, "Are the odds in my favor that my gun will solve a problem, or will it
create a problem?" that kind of pap is the stuff of Leftish panderers to
the Fascist view that the State will always provide. It doesn't - and never was
supposed to in this country! Were the Founding Fathers - not to speak of tens of
thousands of my fellow Marines to have taken that namby-pamby attitude - do you
seriously think you'd be sitting on your bench today, delivering your patently
flawed decisions??!!
It is the RIGHT of self-respecting and honest
Americans to "keep and bear arms" - and it is NOT your right to deny
them those rights! The specifics are there in two hundred and twenty five years'
of examples, and most legal decisions.
Don't come to my state, Tolby, we in Alaska
don't take kindly to your placidly Fascist defeatist attitude regarding our
fundamental rights. We'll stand - and fight - for our rights. Keep your Fascist
elitism in Arizona - where there ought to be enough people to deal with you -
should the necessity arise. TW Childs
