1. SHAME ON YOU!!!!
FOR LETTING YOUR GUNS GO OUT WITHOUT PROPER SUPERVISION!!!

Oh, wait. It was your personal guns that were used in all 6 shootings, right?

If not, your last sentence makes as much sense as "Two teenagers went on a multi-state crime scene. Man, now I hate my teenager!"

3. I loves me crack!
Is it the guns or the crack? I have many guns and have yet to even think about homicide.

10. A Drug
Crack is a form of cocaine, the sales of which in many urban areas have been accompianed by violent crime.

6. Not at all.
I sold my beloved guns years ago. I had no use

for them after I moved out of the wilderness.

I expect the guns in question were stolen maybe.

Shame guns sometimes kill people.

I lost a few friends that way. The other guys were faster, meaner.

Sigh.

13. Lost a few friends?
You must have been running with the wrong crowd if you lost a few friends to gun fights. I smell embellishment in your story.
It is a Shame criminals sometimes kill people.

14. Oh no!
I would not BS you or any body else. What's that word you use?

Ah, embellishment; does not quite mean lying, you can have a pass on that.

Wrong crowd? You got that right, a bunch of gun slingers and at least one smuggler

of the funny weed. He got cut in half by a double barrel shotgun.

The guys he was playing with were really bad. His little snub nose

S&W did not serve him well. The other one was shot to death in a robbery

at a 24 hour store up there in Virginia. He was not fast enough with his S&W either.

Yup, working in the commercial fishing business gets one exposed to strange happenings.

You should try it.

15. Criminal activity?
There ya go, the wrong crowd. I apologize for my assumtion of embellishing your post. The majority of gun owners are not engaged in criminal activity, nor associate with the criminal element. I think I like what I do now more than I would commercial fishing.

16. You misunderstand
The people were killed even though they were armed and skilled

gunmen. They could not defend themselves from equally determined gunmen.

Cause has nothing to do with it. Faced with the need to defend themselves they failed.

18. So?
Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose. I would like the option of self defense so giving up the means to defend myself would be foolish.

20. You got that right Wcross
Sometimes you win sometimes you lose.

Just like in the old West. I suggest you practice long and well

so as to be ready should you ever be put to the test.

Best of luck to you.

19. excellent
"They could not defend themselves from equally determined gunmen.

Don't mind me, I just like to see someone else identifying the attempt to portray what s/he said as something it wasn't, as having to do with something it had nothing to do with, as meaning something it didn't mean, as being rebutted by a herring that fell out of the sky ... and calling it what it is. A (failed) diversion from the point.

Yup, there's so much stuff that has nothing to do with it. Stick to yourguns. Er ... point. It was an excellent point.

;)

23. Sorry
I can only respond to what I read, I don't have the ability to read minds just yet.

Your original post was-

"Busy week end on the East side.

Six shootings, two fatal. The two fatal are ninteen year olds.

I loves me guns. At least I used to."

Where in that post was the fact you should be quicker and more skilled than your opponent?

7. RKBA heresy!
Don't you realize that you are NEVER supposed to suggest that easy access to and lack of control over guns have anything to do with any shootings?

Instead you're supposed to shake your head and say "No new laws could have prevented this....if only there were more armed nutcases on the street with assault (or assualt) rifles."

That's the only way we Democrats are ever going to get that "racist yokel in the confederate flag shirt" vote that is so crucial...

11. Because rational people know they aren't likely to get shot
The whiners who say blood will be running in the streets when concealed-carry is liberalized should be wearing body armor.

33. Hand us another mischaracterization
How many of these states would you characterize as "Republican pestholes", and what are you going to do to try to get them to support the handgun ban that your favorite propaganda machine, the VPC, advocates?

Is it the illegal drug market? Is it the rap music industry endorsing offing your rivals? The auto industry? (they had to have transportation to the crime scene)
