You must suffer from ADHD because you just can't stay on point! I have never held myself out to be better than anyone but I also don't recognize anyone as being better than me! Unlike you who let me know those descended from convicts are inferior to you!
"Inferior"? No, just different, Mort. Just different. They are descended from the first white settlers on this continent. I have relatives who trace their ancestry further back than that some 75,000 years actually. They were considered "inferior" by many White colonists for the reason they had black skin. Tsk, tsk.
Quote:I see your knowledge of American Indians is as Hollywood inspired as many of your BS opinions. There once was a people in North America only remembered as the ancient ones. The American Indians wiped them out and took their land. They all had a long history of invading the territory claimed by other tribes. You will get a more accurate history by reading the novels of Louis L'amore then the politically correct fiction passed off as history!
Westerns are so much a romanticised view of history. The wild west only lasted a generation, if that, in most parts of the US. Yet, according to Hollywood, it lasted for hundreds of years. Just as today, many Americans appear to believe they still live in that period and place and need guns to protect themselves. Funny how weird people are sometimes, hey?
Quote:My guns are secured and have not contributed to violence in my society. I can't say none ever took a life because many were Police and Military trade-ins. I don't own because of fear, I own because of a sense of history and being armed doesn't equal fear! Some even take loose powder and round balls!
You own them ultimately because you fear your fellow Americans, Mort. You cannot deny you have them for "protection". Who are you protecting yourself against, except your fellow Americans. Tsk, tsk.
Quote:I carry to protect what I value. Crime is reduced when the muggers and rapists don't know who is armed or who may come to the aid of their victims! That isn't fear and an encounter with an attacker isn't an opportunity for a sparing match.
Much easier to call the police and let them deal with the miscreants than take the law into your own hands. Stop dreaming your Wild West dreams - you supposedly live in a modern, liberal, democratic and law-abiding society. Time for you to prove that. Surrender your guns, immediately!
Quote:Now, try to pay attention. It would not harm your society to delete laws that serve no purpose. A Crossman .22 caliber pellet gun is not a threat to the public and nothing is accomplished by record keeping and restrictions. I am sure there are many other examples.
A pellet gun is a gun. A gun which can kill people and hurt them. Time to surrender your guns, Mort. Time to join the 21st century! You don't live in the 19th century.
