And by the FBI stats, yesterday firearms were used a few thousand times in self defense.
Sad, sad,sad, that people can defend themselves. We should really all be relying on the police..... even though it takes upwards of an hours for a response out here.
Call the cops out here, I live about 7 blocks away from the station that gave you the Rodney King beating, and you can wait about 45 minutes.Quote:

Today was the funeral of a young man here. Shot and killed just days after his wedding. Cops shot him by mistake. He did nothing but open his front door.
He will not be there for the birth of his daughter in December.
He is dead.
And why were the cops there with guns drawn? I'm sure all was completely innocent.
I thought police were the ones who were qualified to use firearms?
And again, today, firearms were used in self defense thousands of times. thousands of rapes, robberies and murders not committed because law abiding citizens had a firearm to defend themselves with.

Willful ignorance on your part. The information is out there, you just can't bring yourself to OPEN YOUR EYES.
So what did you think of the studies on the Academy of Peds website? About how firearm training does nothing to enhance the safety of children? Thate a home with firearms is unsafe for children?Quote:

Is it because you think you are right and do not want to hear anything that might suggest otherwise or because you think anyone who disagrees with you is wrong and you don't want to hear anything that might be contrary?
AmPeds stats are countered by the success of the NRA's child's firearm safety training courses.
Unlike some, I'm perfectly willing to look at opposing data, as opposed to some who refuse. I highly doubt you even read the Lott report after finding that it's over 10 years old.
Flail, flail, flail away LH....NRA...yeah...THERE'S a group with NO political agenda! Please....Quote:

These are the same people who told pediatricians to survey their patients to find out how many parents had guns in the home, and to try and guilt the parents into removing them if they did.
We haven't had to switch pediatricians, though, so it was evidently a less than unanimous response from the Doctors.
Ooooo an eye roll...I thought those the tool of the Liberal Left???Quote:

Is that a bad thing?
Am Peds has a political agenda.......
Nanny state BS.
Flail, flail, flail....
Now pediatricians are bad....
what's next??? Kindergarten teachers?
Oh wait...I know...anyone who disagrees with you.
ES< as usual, you're putting words in my keyboard.
Am Peds is more than likely about as representative of their members as the United Methodist Church leadership or APWU leadership. More often than not the leadership of the group comes out with a statement on behalf of the members that has the membership going "huh?"

I woke up one morning and realized that there are two kinds of people on the planet.
The first are the ones that are absolutely 100% grounded in what they believe in and the second group-
We believe in pictures transmitted thru the air, numbers printed on pieces of paper, the magic of science and medicine.
Oh and when arguing with anyone about firearms, you can always win because the other person is unarmed.:eek:
