The exchange started when Demings wrote on Facebook that she supports "common sense gun legislation" and "stand[s] against the gun lobby."
Hours later, a Facebook user referenced an incident from February 2009, when Demings served as the chief of police in Orlando, Fla. Someone broke into Demings' vehicle at the time and stole her agency-issued 9 mm Sig Sauer gun, ammunition, handcuffs, and baton. An internal-affairs investigator subsequently gave Demings a "written censure" for not properly securing her firearm in her car. |

Liberal democrats actually believe that if you don't agree with them that you are not entitled to have an opinion.
It doesn't matter that their opinion is entirely based on emotions as opposed to actual facts. People are killed by guns. Therefore, they are bad.
It doesn't matter that they are also used to protect people's lives.
I would hate to have to go without the protection afforded by my guns. I am 68 years old and not capable of fighting off a young thug. The only thing that keeps me safe is access to a gun.
And don't tell me that the authorities will protect you. They don't do a very good job protecting all the people robbed, injured and killed by violent criminals every day. |

TO REMEMBER |
| The right of a citizen to bear arms, in lawful defense of himself or the State, is absolute. He does not derive it from the State government. It is one of the high powers" delegated directly to the citizen, and `is excepted out of the general powers of government.' A law cannot be passed to infringe upon or impair it, because it is above the law, and independent of the lawmaking power." [Cockrum v. State, 24 Tex. 394, at 401-402 (1859)] |
