The deadly Sunday biker battle at a Waco, Texas breastaurant has convinced one University of Texas at Austin professor that Americans aren’t cut out for the Second Amendment’s right to bear arms.
John Traphagan, a professor of religious studies and anthropology at UTA, wrote in an op-ed for The Dallas Morning News that the most overlooked security threat to this country is its “own heavily armed population” and that America’s culture does not “lend itself well to allowing the proliferation of guns.”
“Americans do not seem to be able to handle gun ownership in a way that permits maintenance of a civil society,” Traphagan stated. |

Another anti-gun homophobe.
How is it that Chicago has such a high gun related crime rate, even before they implemented very restricted concealed carry?
If these "professors" would actually do some research instead of following their prejudices they might actually learn something. |

jac, I presume you mean "hoplophobe".
(Oops! Siwwy you.)
This guy just uses the typical hoplophobe modus operandi - make it up. |

TO REMEMBER |
| No kingdom can be secured otherwise than by arming the people. The possession of arms is the distinction between a freeman and a slave. He, who has nothing, and who himself belongs to another, must be defended by him, whose property he is, and needs no arms. But he, who thinks he is his own master, and has what he can call his own, ought to have arms to defend himself, and what he possesses; else he lives precariously, and at discretion. — James Burgh, Political Disquisitions: Or, an Enquiry into Public Errors, Defects, and Abuses [London, 1774-1775]. |
