		<description>TODAY, THERE ARE MORE DEATHS BY CARS, TRUCKS, BUSSES AND AIRPLANES THAN ANYOTHER FORM OF KILLING.   JUST TO CAUSE ALOT OF NOTICE, MAYBE SOME CONGRESSMAN ( OR WOMAN ) SHOULD SPONSER A BILL OUTLAWING THESE FORMS OF TRANSPORTATION TO STIR UP THE AMERICAN PEOPLE. AS I HAVE SAID BEFORE, THE CITIZENS OF THIS GREAT REPUBLIC HAVE BECOME TOOOO LAZY LETTING THE GOVERNMENT DECIDE WHAT IS GOOD FOR THEM WITHOUT REGARD TO THE CONSEQUENCES TO THIER FREEDOMS LATTER DOWN THE ROAD. THE CITZENS SHOULD GET THIER HEADS OUT OF THE SAND AND TAKE NOTICE TO THE NEW DEMACRATIC LEADERSHIP THIS COUNTRY  JUST ELECTED. MANY OF THEM ARE GUN GRABING LEFT-WING LIBERIALS WITH WHO KNOWS WHAT AGENDA THEY HAVE IN MIND. I'M NOT PREACHING REVOLT IN A RIOTIUOS WAY, BUT NEXT TIME AROUND, ( ELECTION TIME ) IT MAY BE TOO LATE  !!  TO UNDO THE HARM THAT THESE LIBERIAL GUN GRABBERS HAVE HAVE DONE. LOOK WHO IS FUNDING B. ABAMA, THE BLACK MAN FROM THE MID-WEST, DON'T KNOW, IT'S GEORGE SOROS, A TYRANT THAT HAS DISMANTELED MORE COUNTRIES THAN HITLER. AND FOR WHAT, NOT FOR MONEY, HE HAS MORE MONEY THAN GOD. NO, SOROS IS AFTER THE CONCEPT OF NEW WORLD ORDER, WITH HIMSELF AND AN SELECT FEW OF THE WEALTHEST IN THE WORLD INCLUDING MAYOR BLUMBERG OF N.Y. CITY KINGING THERE SELF  AS RULERS OF THE WORLD.
                              WAKE-UP AMERICA---IT MAY BE TOO LATE AS I WRITE THIS RESPONCE</description>

		<description>Since the fall of the Soviet Union ( YUK  YUK ) our nation has become TOO relaxed. The SOCIALISTS have continued thier attacks on this nation without nary a look from the citizens our the FEDERAL GOVERNMENT. They the SOCIALISTS have infiltrated every aspect of this country, ie. education in all pre-college classrooms spouting socalist views, and not teaching courses suchas CIVICS, and indepth AMERICAN HISTORY, and especially our AMERICAN BILL of RIGHTS. To silently take over a country you FIRST dumbdown the population so the future citizens don't thier rights, then take away freedom of speach, pre-election press  ( the gagging of the NRA and like orginazations) and then attempt to change STATE and FEDERAL CONSTITUTIONS. THEN THE GUNS  GO SO WE CAN'T PROTECT OURSELFS. CHECK IT OUT FOR YOUR SELF, I'M NOT B-LLSH-TTING!!!</description>

		<description>There are thousands of thoughtless &#38; careless drivers who crash every year, sometimes killing children.  We do not try &#38; ban vehicles.  Education is the key.</description>

		<description>I know this world isn't all gumdrops and lollipops.  I know there are lazy idiots out there and that negligent homicide happens.  And that the small and the innocent die.  But how much are we willing to surrender in protecting idiots from themselves?

We have all seen that giving an inch of freedom to provide a mile of security in the end aways turns out to be the opposite formula.  And how can you not lay the blame at the foot of the public schools when they teach only to fear and shun weapons?  Never on how to own one responsibly.  THAT is wishful thinking; that it doesn't matter what happens in school.

I thank you for your service to the community as a paramedic and I do appreciate what you see and experience.  My family has been in the medical field for several generations now.  My parents were medics in Vietnam and I have several sisters in the psychiatric nursing field, so I have been privy to much of the ugly side of conflict and the inner self.

All this said, I firmly believe the answers to some of the biggest problems in Western Society lie in the unrestricted ownership of firearms and all the necessary steps involved in owning one responsibly, intelligently, and patriotically.</description>

		<description>BA,

I'm sorry, but you're talking on the same day that they announced a 3 year old died playing with a handgun in Wilkinsburg. Bad timing on your part.

All of the instructors for my handgun safety and personal safety courses advised people to think carefully about getting guns. They believed it was not for everyone. As a paramedic of 11.5 years in Pittsburgh, I saw more than sufficient evidence as well.

Blaming it on the school system is wishful thinking that I've seen scant evidence to back up. The history books and records are full of the vast stupidity of human beings.

Yes, they have the right. But rights carry responsibilities (including making sure the 3  or 13 year old can't ever get at it), and if they cannot exercise the responsibilities, they should not exercise the right.

Given the number of people who think Ayoob is a wimp, there's a lot of gun owners do not respect.</description>

		<description>I will defend that idiot's right to carry a sidearm just as much as I will defend his right to criticize others at the range.

I have met those people many times as well.  They are a product of the local government indoctrination center (public schools) and they especially need instruction not only in the use but the real history behind firearms and their unique place in American History.

Don't shun them, educate them.  If they are total losers they will fall to the wayside and become those we need to protect, those we take up arms to defend.

The ones we need to fear are those who have never been to a range yet condemn all us who aspire to follow our father's footsteps and our Founding Father's wishes.  Those we need to fear are those who cry "peace peace" while all the time plotting our enslavement and death because of what we believe.</description>

		<description>Far too many people do not have the maturity and reasoning capacity to enable them to carry a weapon without endangering themselves and those around them.

I've met far too many idiots at the gun range. Please don't add to it. If you can't take the responsibility that goes with owning a gun, do not get one!</description>
