If Paul Helmke ever told the truth it was by accident!

Even if the world was 100% safe, I would still enjoy hunting and target shooting. So, basically, John N and anyone who thinks like him can kiss my chocolate starfish.

In a world without guns…I’d make my own.

John N is just another liberal pantywaist who, cowering and insecure in the knowledge that he is completely unable to protect himself from harm, wishes to put everyone else at the same disadvantage. It’s standard leftist thinking – they think the same way about earning power. Leftist politics is all about equality of outcome rescuing them from their own inadequacies. If they can’t excel, at least they bring everyone else down to their level.

John N is relying on the fact that others around him will use them to protect him and his family. 911 is in effect a call for a man or woman with a gun to eventually turn up and take over his neglected responsibility to protect those in his care. When out in public, he is probably a lucky recipient of the uncertainty that exists due to concealed carry by others.

With that worldview, I would rather he didn’t have a gun anyway.

When someone makes a 24/7 government bodyguard that is as dependable and affordable as my AK47, I will gladly switch.

Obviously John N hasn’t been reading the site.

It is my opinion that law enforcement officers should be the only people allowed to have any guns at all. I have no need for them and I think the world would be better if guns were not available to the public.

I like statistics! Especially these:
100% of what Paul Helmke says is bovine scatology.
0% of what Paul Helmke envisions is constitutional.

…and I don’t even need to use any weasel words!

His “up to 40%” came from a “study” (read poll) that included gunshows, private sales, and all other commerce that didn’t go through FFL dealers. It’s more selective editing by the Brady Bunch.

Maybe a lot of private sales (up to 40%)… nothing wrong with that either.

“As many as 40%” includes “almost zero percent” (”zero’s a percent!”).

Aren’t weasel-words great?
