1) Its dangerous to the government, and tyrants. the people should not be afraid of their government, the government should be afraid of the people (both V & Thomas Jefferson)

2) OC is dangerous to criminals. They get to see there are more armed citizens, so they are less likely to commit crimes. It means less money for their drug habits... it also means more criminals shot during violent crimes.

3) OC is dangerous to terrorists. Imagine a polite, armed US society? Ever been to Israel, where regularly ARMED CITIZENS capture terrorists...

I feel tricked, but in a good way. Like a child who is told he's going to the National Bingo Convention with his 90-year old grandmother, but actually gets to go to Busch Gardens.

Good points there :)

Should have asked her if she new what a terrorist looks like, before they strike.

Some people don't want to know. If it doesn't fit in their utopian world view, it doesn't exist.

her response probly would of been "yea those guys with shoulder things that go up"

some people are clearly incapable of thinking outside the box. but thats ok, thats why we have people in office to do the thinking for them...

The bad thing is allot of those people in office can't think outside the box either.

The Bill Of Rights, which does Not Grant Rights, just Aknowledges them and places Restrictions on Government, Freedom of Speech, Freedom of Religion, anda Right To Ask My Government For To Redress Of Grievences and Secure Borders.I read this stuff somewhere when I was younger, it was taught in schools.
