In reply to the discussion: Georgia Man Arrested for Triple Murder [View all]fightthegoodfightnow

To much to respond to here and I'm not going to attempt to respond to all.
My response about the South winning was in response to the individuals need for a gun to protect the state did not connect the dots well. It's often a rallying cry in the South for why we need guns to protect our freedom, which I don't buy. I grew up in the South and heard it often. The evidence is the South lost the Civil War (not for lack of guns but lack of manufacturing and other reasons). Even now, I do not own a gun and I am no less a champion of freedom.
I respect all the points you made and apologize for not expressing myself well.
