[QUOTE="mugsy, post: 2346306, member: 18914"] I don't find it hard to believe that when people have guns available some people will commit crimes with them. More guns available = more potential for gun use during crime. What's is the big deal? That doesn't mean more people are committing crime or that having a gun is an inducement to commit crime - those are the unfounded lleaps of "logic" to which those who fear either guns or their neighbors jump. I am much more concerned that talk of UN intervention is even considered a possibility nowadays. When I was younger, and just a few short years ago, our enemies hated us but they feared us, and our friends may have disagreed with us but they respected our power and our capacity for self-government. We now have the worst of both worlds - our enemies do not fear us and our friends do not respect us. [/QUOTE]
