Stopgunviolence:I believe in God, but I won't try to legislate that belief on you, okay? You have a right, under the First Amendment, to worship whomever you please, or nothing at all. You're also free to believe there aren't monsters among us, and that you really can get along with racists, negotiate with murderers, and appease terrorists. As for me, I, too, came out of anger, and stayed because of faith: Anger at the evil that these bastards commit, and at the naifs like you who excuse and enable them. And faith that I can do better than a government agency or police force, when properly armed, to protect and defend my loved ones from that evil. I am certain of a few realities that I CAN see, such as the effect of a .45 caliber slug on the tissue and bone of an invading monster threatening life and limb. I'm not demanding that you go arm yourself, if you believe pacifism is better...but I'll thank you to stop trying to legislate away my Second Amendment rights...fair enough? Wow, where to begin?

That's the whole problem antis, isn't it? Belief without evidence in a cause that restricts the freedom of one's fellow Americans. Oh, but it's all out of <a href="http://www.ultimak.com/Left-Speak.htm#Compassion" rel="nofollow">"Compassion"</a>. “…makes us certain of realities we cannot see.”

That’s the whole problem antis, isn’t it? Belief without evidence in a cause that restricts the freedom of one’s fellow Americans. Oh, but it’s all out of “Compassion”.

Given that 'faith' is belief absent proof, I think it follows quite naturally.

I reckon anything that challenges the hoplophobic orthodoxy will be quietly bit-bucketed. Enh, the comments are moderated, not open.
