Actually, it's a shame to waste so much time and effort on rational arguments against this ignorant and phobic ranter.

My response to Ms. McCarthy,

So, since you think the mere presence of a gun will turn people into mad killers, I suppose you are at least potentially a prostitute... You've got the basic equipment. Why one and not the other?

Or... even better maybe:

If a poll showed that 51% of the voters didn't think you should be allowed to breathe... would you voluntarily stop breathing? I mean... the will of the majority and all that?

A return to the spirit of the "old Wild West" would be a massive improvement, over todays society.

Imagine.... a society that totally takes personal responsibility seriously, is self reliant, completely independant, and resourceful. A society that expects it's government to provide for the defense of the nation against enemies, foriegn and domestic....and nothing more.

Now tell me, how could that be a bad thing?

I have no problem with returning to the Wild West; it was the most civilized and peaceful time/place in all of recorded human history.

Which is, of course, why it is colored as the opposite.

Seconded with a hearty "hell yeah." Personal responsibility is slowly dying in this country. That man in the white house and his cronies in Congress would make victims and dependents out of all of us.

I wrote this awhile back as an opinion piece concerning the liberal fears of a return to the "Wild West Ways." I recently submitted it to The Tenness Patriot, don't know if they'll print it.

I like it and ask if it would be ok if I saved it for further reference. Well written and to the point.
