Guns don’t kill people. Bullets do. Well, bullets fired from guns actually. I guess if you forced someone to swallow a box of bullets that might kill them, but it sure sounds like a lot of work. Why not just shoot them? I bring this up in light of the sentence that one-time Super Bowl “hero” Plaxico Burress received for carrying an unlicensed and concealed weapon into a night club and then shooting himself. Oopsie. Brother got 2 years.
Which reminds me of another NYC shooter who liked to carry a concealed weapon, Bernhard Goetz. The “Subway Hero” shot 4 assailants who were attempting to intimidate him into giving them $5. Goetz was sentenced to 8 months in jail. Probably should have just taken his beating. Hell, it only would have cost him 5 bucks.
Is there a point to this, you ask? Always harassing me with questions! Well, yes, the point is that carrying guns is never, let me repeat that -never- a good idea. Unless you’re a soldier, a cop or a hunter. No, need to ever have a gun on you, concealed or otherwise. End of discussion.
But, philistine, what if I feel threatened? Then call a cop, a soldier or a hunter. Would Plaxico Burress really be your first choice to call?
But, I’m a criminal, I need my gun. Is that a question? Okay, first off, you shouldn’t carry a weapon to commit your crimes. Study sentencing guidelines. It’s always worse when you have a gun. Second, have you ever thought of joining the military? They have guns!
A well-armed citizenry is not a deterrent to crime. Name one instance when a crime was prevented because John Q. Public pulled out a concealed weapon. Never happens. And don’t use Goetz; that was revenge vigilantism and you know it.
Do we really want to live in a society that allows any moron with a gun to carry it in public concealed or otherwise? I don’t. When I see news footage of these assholes brandishing firearms at presidential town hall meetings I get very discouraged. It wasn’t so long ago that Americans were arrested for wearing anti-Bush t-shirts to public meetings, and now it’s okay to wear an assault weapon. Not on my watch.
That is why I am encouraging all of my reader to take action. If you see someone carrying a gun in a large group of people, please remove your taser from it’s concealed location and blast them in the head. Believe me, they will respect your right to bear an arm, otherwise they’re just all hypocrites.

philistine yoo be da smardest nigger on the indernet and i lerd so much fum yoo so i wool karry mi gun widowt buletz no more.
Thanks for the advice.
Not!
Some creep was following me home last night & muttering things like, “kill the bitch, kill her with a knife.”, so I did it! I called a hunter. But you know what? The only hunter I know lives an hour away! And he was at church when I called! By the time he arrived, I had led the creepy stalker RIGHT TO MY HOUSE! As it turned out the hunter and the creepy stalker were related by marriage, so NO justice was served! None! Zilch! Zip!
Btw, Brian says “hi”.
Thou should look a little deeper, Thou has missed the point.
Asshole yourself.
“The “Subway Hero” shot 4 assailants who were attempting to intimidate him into giving them $5.”
That is the nicest way I’ve ever seen of someone describing a robbery.
You try to rob someone – you get what you get. Easy solution – don’t rob.
This has to be one of the worst opinion pieces I have ever read, 90% of the facts are wrong. And you opinion is completely ridiculous. Im all about people voicing their opinion when it makes sense, but this is just crap!
First. Anyone should not carry a gun, BUT almost all states require a waiting period and a rather extensive background check. Most people carrying a concealed weapon (legally) are law abiding citizens and have earned the right to carry a weapon. I would not be uncomfortable standing next to someone with a pistol. So any “moron” is not carrying a weapon.
Second.You are telling your readers to use a taser on someone….are you serious!!! You aim a taser at me you better hope it hits me before I draw on you because my .45 slug is going to hurt a lot more than a taser. You lost all credibility with that statement.
Here are about 30 examples of crime prevented by CW owners.

Not sure where you live, but if im in a situation where I need a weapon I can be 100% sure that the police wont be able to come to my rescue. Police just dont appear when you yell “help!” it takes time to respond and your life can be gone in a second.
Clearly you have lived a sheltered life and need some more work on you facts. You are entitled to your opinion, but get your info right before voicing it. And telling your readers to use violence against someone peaceful carrying a legal firearm, well what can I say thats goes against everything you said in this piece and shows that you are very immature and the kind of person that should NEVER own a gun.
