I don’t know the guy personnally, but one thing I can tell you, he is FAR from being an idiot. In fact, calling him an idiot because you don’t like him and don’t agree to his opinions makes me believe you are probably not as intelligent as he is. But I’m not calling you stupid. Just saying that he sure has a more eloquent way of making his point. As for being a bad example of a human being, I personnally can’t think of worse examples of human being than any Republican President of the USA in the last 40 years.

Yeah. There are lots of rights you have and don’t choose to exercise. The question is why do you feel you should exercise this perticular right? Why is your right of having a weapon in your home more important to you than the fact that someone could actually use it in a bad way?

Guns don’t kill people, people do, but I’ve yet to see a single bullet fired from someone who didn’t have a gun in his hand to begin with.
