The reality is anyone could be a victim of gun violence. Simon Frankel, Ann Marie Crowell, Kamal Saini, Pam Simon, Debra Fine, and Jammal Simon could be yourbrother, mother, son, or colleague. They could be you.
In a continuing effort to cover the pervasiveness of gun violence in America, HuffPost Live has spoken to individuals directly affected by mass shootings and random shootings, accidental firearm deaths, and gang violence. Here are their stories.
Then the reality is that any good citizen should be allowed effective self-defense.
ReplyDeleteYeah, and how do we know if a citizen is "good" or not?
DeleteThat's what you got from reading these stories? You truly are a kill happy gun loon.
DeleteMikeb, in a democratic society, the presumption has to be that every person is a good citizen until proven otherwise.
DeleteYes, legally that's exactly right. But practically we know it's not true. So we need laws.
DeleteShowing us, Mikeb, that you really don't believe in a democratic society.
DeleteThe sites lying criminal coward has already stated he does not follow the law, totally disregarding any democratic process. .
DeleteHaving laws somehow prevents the society from being Democratic. Greg, that's even crazier than your usual nonsense.
DeleteNo, Mikeb, I said that in a democratic society, we have to presume that citizens are good people, unless we have due process showing us otherwise. You came back with an assertion that implies that you don't trust citizens. That's what this all comes down to.
Delete33,000 gun shot deaths a year prove we cannot trust gun loons.
DeleteGreg, you're so contentious that you sometimes twist your argument around until you're contradicting yourself. If you really believe what you said in those last two comments, why do you carry a gun?
DeleteGood question, which you will never get an honest answer to, from the site liar.
DeleteSee, no response.
