A Good Clean Fight

As we mentioned yesterday, it often seems the esteemed male institution of fist fighting to settle problems is no more

The probability of folks being armed has caused changes in many areas of our lives.  You can no longer safely express a little road rage, for example, and you certainly cannot call someone out to settle a fued.

Fairfield police Lt. Darrin Moody says the two groups of adults had arranged to meet there to settle a feud. Neither party had any association with the school or a school function.
Moody said as the two men began to fight, one of their associates opened fire with a handgun. Thornton was hit several times.
Do you think examples like these are a small price to pay for all that freedom? (/sarcasm) I don't consider living in a society like that being free. All the self-serving talk on the part of pro-gun people about freedom and rights is just so much nonsense. Because of them there is an increasing access to guns, and because of that we are all less free.

What's your opinion? Please leave a comment.

  1. Then I guess living in a statist European nanny state is a perfect fit for you, Mike.

  2. The problem here is that the two groups of "adults" were not acting like adults.

  3. So Mikey,

    No comment on why you owned guns?

    Was it to avoid fights or to use the firearms in fights?

    Did you illegally carry them?

    Come on, talk to us. Unless you've murdered someone, the statute of limitations is up.

    Just why did you go through the trouble of breaking the law to own firearms?

  4. " You can no longer safely express a little road rage, for example, and you certainly cannot call someone out to settle a fued."

    Those things were never safe. In fact, they are quite stupid and anyone who does things deserves what they get. Stupidity hurts.

    "Because of them there is an increasing access to guns, and because of that we are all less free."

    The only people less free are those who want the freedom impose their gun banning ways on others.

    Those of us who don't hang out with drug users or go looking for fights are as free as we can possibly be
