The liberal argument for gun ownership (Dave Kopel)

[jazzhound]

On the heels of spin's post re. liberal thought vis-a-vis McDonald, I thought I'd repost the link to an article by Dave Kopel which I posted on another thread. (in case you missed it)

1. The only argument I would need for having a gun

(I don't) would be: letting repugs have all the guns would be akin to letting criminals be the only ones with guns.

2. Indeed.

If the cozy relationship between the GOP, religious zealots and Blackwater doesn't make it clear why we have a 2nd Amendment ---- NOTHING will.

9. Equating Republicans (and you seem to imply all of them...?) with criminals...

puts you on very shakey moral ground.

Just sayin'.

[spin]

3. It's an excellent article ...

and well worth reading.


Hopefully pro-gun liberals will be able to overcome the tired stereotype that we are a rare species.

4. K&R!

5. K&R ---- what am I missing?

And while I'm asking questions, what is the NT or n/t I see on some posts?

6. "n/t" means "no text"

It means that there's no message body below the subject line.

7. Thanks, Euromutt n/t

8. Surprised Euromutt missed it...

K&R is kicked and recommended. kicking brings the post back up to the top of the forum list and recommended means you clicked on the recommend link on the original poster's (OP) post.

Correct me if I am wrong please.

10. Thanks, H&M n/t

It means Kicked (as in to the top of the forum for visibility) & Recommended (as in, "I like it")
