Hillary Locks and Loads
in response to reader comment: people are concerned about violent crime

Submitted by ralphy, Dec 13, 2007 14:07

Hello Jake. Look man, if you are so very scared of weapons, you maybe should leave the USA. It is our constitutionally protected god-given right to keep and bear arms. Because a fully armed and similarly equipped population ready to spring into action defending freedom is necessary. People also kill people with hands. Poisons.Knives. Cars (oh boy, way more than guns do)- i don't even want to name all the ways..rope. Baseball bats. Why don't you cry and lament that we really should just outlaw PEOPLE??? What a simpering twit. Hey, if you ever come under attack by a dozen people intending to harm you, I sure hope you have a stick of butter available (and nothing else)
