(6,185 posts)Adams was talking about his countrymen that were willing to trade the false perception of safety in return for their individual freedoms, just like you and our resident Bloomie worshipper.
"Stop all those citizens with concealed guns in Wal Mart so I feel safer."
Then you cook the books and misstate a handful of events in the parking lots to make Wally World sound like the frickin streets of Beirut. Nobody wit two brain cells to rub together is buying it. I mean hate on 'em for their imported goods and bad labor practices all you want, but man, the gun thing is an over reach and a half.
Look, your appeal to emotion is pathetic, poorly phrased and falling on a nation with deaf ears to it. I guess according to your judgement the same nation that overwhelmingly elected Obama twice, is just too stupid to appreciate insight from people like you.
After crying wolf for over a decade, with the help of the Joyce Foundation and Brady, America discovered that their message of imminent death and destruction and skyrocketing crime rates was full of shit and nothing bad happens when you allow CCW.
Not a single state is even considering repealing their CCW laws, Illinois is only 3 votes in the legislature away from making it 50 states. In 2012 alone, states have loosened the previous restrictions 29 times when the streets never got around to running red with blood. (But I guess all those shooting moved to the housewares aisle in Wally World, huh?)
But if all those guns make you nervous, and you don't want to wait for the US to "smarten up" and become another UK, why not just move to gun free Mexico, with only one gun store in the whole country? I bet we could get folks to chip in, if you promise not to get internet access.
