It is frightening to see such educated men so thoroughly defend the right to bear arms.

Not so frightening as seeing so many ignorant louts trying to legislate it away.

Exactly how many of the U.S. numbers were justifiable homicides? How many were suicides? How many were police shootings?

“only 247 shootings?” Perhaps you can explain why the Scots have to endure one highest violent crime rates in the industrialized world? Here is the answer and it’s very simple. Once you take self-defense tools away from the law-abiding, and once you stack the legal cards in favor of the criminal, you have what Scotland has become.

Looks like a lot of people are pissed and commenting.

Notice it’s always about “kids”? However, I’d like to ask Milano how he figures that stricter gun laws are gonna stop illegal aquisition of firearms when the present ones hav’nt been able to do so.

check this out Mr. Milano but dont fill yer drawers after viewing it.

Keep in mind that most, if not all, of those countries that have a higher firearm related homocide rate than the USA have very strict gun laws!

“California with its population of over 36 million witnessed the deaths by gun of 3,323 people in 2004″

All those by guns eh? This shows 2395 total, from all homocide causes

And of those 72.6% were caused by firearms which comes out to 1738, just over half of what Milano claims.

I noticed that Milano never posted links to his sources. Perhaps it’s because the little voices in his head have no links?

That whole thing was an exercise in not getting it.

Having just read your editorial about the right to keep and bear arms, I too have discovered something “truly frightening”.

I am truly frightened that at some point in the future you will be loosed on the society with documentation that states you are educated. I do not see how that can be, given your lack of critical thinking skills. And it truly frightens me that you may end up in a decision making position still arrogant enough to believe you are philosophically, morally, and intellectually superior to the unique collection of geniuses that founded this nation on principles that are timeless and idealistic within the confines of human nature.

You need a lot more seasoning, before you are qualified to have an opinion. Do it again after you do some thinking of your own, when you can give an opinion that isn’t just parroting what you have always been told by people with an agenda that does not honor the individual.

Hell, you could use your own examples to prove the falsity of your position if you actually thought about them, rather than accepting what others told you those examples prove.

I predict you will not understand what I just said, refer to the part about “critical thinking skills”.

Time to grow up.

Extremely sincerely,
