[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]Jerry, There is at least one LUG website member who is a life-long conservative, life time NRA member and very, very pro-gun. If there were no guns and people who knew how to use them, these tea sippers would be speaking Nazi, or Russian. Had there been four pistols with one each in the hands of the pilots, 9/11 would not have happened. However, that might have been a bad thing because there would not have been any disaster scenes for the tea-sipper clickers to photograph. When the crooks start running off with the Englishman's Leica's because an owner in the UK protecting his property gets in more trouble than the crook, then these illiberals will start thinking it might be nice to live somewhere that allows one to protect his/her property and family.
