The number of guns in the U.S. has increased by more than 60 percent since 1994. Latest figures show there are 310 million guns in this country of 307 million people. That’s more than one gun per person.

OK you have 3 weapons, one in your car, two in the house, ready for bear. your neighbor is equally armed. You live in gated sub division, fear of home invasion is nil. The other side of town, not the same. BUT they are also armed, butthey are a "criminal" element according to your estimate.In the middle is a police force. They feel ALL of you are wackos. Right now if I toot my horn to wake up a cell phoner at a light, will he wave, or get out and shoot? The seventh day adventice at my door, or is a home invader? This second amendment didn't come into being in the last 10 years, but now its becoming extreme.You NEED to have a weapon, because EVERYONE does. My parents didn't. My in laws didn't. My married childrens in laws didn't. How about your mom and dad. Not sporting arms, personal weapons, for self defense.My kid think I'm a wacko cause of the guns, think about it. we are becoming a paranoid country.

I don't have a problem with gun ownership, have never in 69 years felt I needed a defensive weapon outside of vietnam... There is a handgun here someplace but I couldn't find it and any ammo for it if I needed it in a hurry... The thing about guns is the hype gun owners are always preaching about, I do not believe guns make the average citizen of this country feel safer... There are about one third of the people in this country that own guns, that makes two thirds that do not own guns... I do not believe we as a country "feel safer" because of gun ownership and the crime/murder rate in this country that is chocked full of guns seems to bear that out.... An individual that has access to a firearm might feel more secure whether or not he/she actually is....
Sheeple. I hope you never need a weapon, because you will WISH you had it.--

DEAD people cannot defend themselves.

You are correct for maybe the first time Mr. Fisher but I see your argument ran out of air and you had to resort to insults as the right wing seems to always revert to...
The most incoherent post of complete moronic nonsense I have ever read on this site. Sounds like ramblings of a complete mental case. It doesn't even make sense.............none of it. Dude back off the prozac............OK you have 3 weapons, one in your car, two in the house, ready for bear. your neighbor is equally armed. You live in gated sub division, fear of home invasion is nil. The other side of town, not the same. BUT they are also armed, butthey are a "criminal" element according to your estimate.In the middle is a police force. They feel ALL of you are wackos.

What was insulting, calling you sheeple?.....
You do aimlessly follow the leftist drum beat, so tell me how that is insulting. Unless you're insulted by the fact that I pointed out your sheeple behavior....
Oh well.

Most people don't follow anybody aimlessly with the exception of the right wing Limbaugh heads and I suspect you meant "sheeple" as an insult beings it seems to be a derogatory name used for anybody who might not see eye to eye with the person throwing the insult..
Rush is an entertainer..........nothing else. He is bat **** crazy on quite a few issues, spot on with others.
I don't know too many folks on the right who follow anyone. I agree with plans and policies, but the minute they don't agree with my values.....I"m ready to ditch them.
If Grimes had even half a brain and and if she wasn't completely in bed with Democrats, she'd actually have a chance. As it is........there are quite a few republicans who are going to hold their nose, and pull the lever for Mitch.
I'd much rather someone besides Mitch, but NEVER that leftist Grimes........NEVER.
Now I have to call my cousin and see what we were talking about. I guess what I was trying to say, the more guns out there, the less safe I feel.
