Nobody was listening.

Please stay on point. The discussion was of police and the military shooting looters on sight, under orders from the governor or the president. Nobody was "taking the law into their own hands." It was a necessary measure to restore civil order, and the only responsible course of action.

There were some cases of building occupants shooting people attempting to break in. That was self-defense, an entirely different issue. Nobody objects to killing in self-defense.

You were the one with the fantasy of gettin' your gun and heading out to pot a few looters. The police and military would be justified in killing you too. In fact, that small armed group that the Army wiped out was probably a batch of nut cases like you. What skin color do you think they were?

there are plenty of our legislators and congressmembers who DO object to the use of deadly force in self defense. Strange, but true. Senator Feinstein has stated something to the effect of "I understand why some people want guns for hunting, but self defense is not something I am comfortable with". We also hear quite frequent howls when a police officer shoots someone in self defense.

This guy is from New York. He probably reads the NYT, with their constant lies and innuendo against gun owners. He hates the very idea of personal responsibility. He is on the side of the murderers and rapists.

When Feinstein was mayor of San Francisco she carried a "Saturday Night Special" in her purse. As that type of weapon is not legal to even own in CA she could not have had a Concealed Weapon permit.

"off a few blacks", you say. It isn't possible that it could be the other way around too? Are you being PC (Personally Cowardly) or are you anti-white?

Larry, wasn't there once a time where you and I disagreed on everything? That seems to have reversed completely since this storm, have you noticed that?

Is that why she has an armed bodyguard?

With the inevitable "Yes, he had a long criminal record ,but he was just starting to think about considering turning his life around" wailing, yes.

That's going to be near impossible to tell given the situation. How would we ever know if it was civic duty or just a gunman who figured he can off a few blacks without anyone noticing?

Does she? Hmmm, well I bet a bodyguard has more training the everyday yokel walking around the street.

I'm sorry that you're homosexual tendencies bother you.

If they are being shot at, then it's not about looting, it's about murder and the police should take care of the matter.

What you want to do is shoot a looter who's carrying off some non-essential item because it's bad. That act does not endanger anyone. I ahve seen pictures of people looting, and they are not carrying guns and don't appear violent.

Well isn't that special.

That's the difference between ideology and immediate practical solutions to difficult problems. I doubt that we will ever agree on political matters, but I suspect that, if TSHTF, we would get along very well.

Fortunately, all of the nut cases who kill people for no reason live in New York, far from New Orleans. America still remembers the shooter on the Long Island commuter train who was able to shoot 17 people because your nut case politicians disarmed the general public. Do you happen to remember what color the shooter was? Do you remember what color the victims were?

Even in times of peace and quiet, allowing citizens to go armed substantially improves public safety. During times of turmoil and unrest, the ability to defend yourself effectively is the ONLY public safety. You will not find a responsible, law abiding person running around killing people, no matter what color they are.

Of course not, but he sure seems to be able to pull _your_ strings to get you to keep giving him the attention and responses he craves...

And what police would that be, Fraud?

Yes, it's so SHE doesn't have to bother with SELF defense. :/ None of that messy dirtying of her hands.

Poor victims of society and all that, you know.

Growing old is mandatory. Growing wise is optional.

And does that mean the "good" Senator is more deserving of an armed bodyguard than the "everyday yokel walking around the street", Mr. Elitist Snob?

Growing old is mandatory. Growing wise is optional.

Believe me, I get all the licit sex I want. And I'm a long way from the Bay Area now. Up in Alaska.

So you're a rural from San Bruno, eh? My dad was born and raising in the middle of Oakland. The family had a cow, chickens and a big vegetable garden. Of course, that was 100 years ago.

Wow. Tell a guy a troll is pulling him in hook, line, and sinker, and he goes all hostile on ya. Well, live and learn.

The newspapers and tv reports all said it was not legal to possess that weapon in CA.
