Re: Gun Control - Should Ordinary Citizens Own, Carry, & Use Firearms?

Now I do have to say mjsmsprt40 that borders on incredibility! Because someone is not handy in a town they can go cowboy. Dear oh dear, what a place to live in. I am afraid you have not grown up yet in the level of sense and reasonability. How come countries stricter on guns can do better on shootings or are there more mental midgets over there?
Now I know for a fact that your reading and comprehension are beyond abysmal, and your understanding of anything that doesn't fit your pre-conceived notions simply doesn't exist.
I wonder what part of farm living escapes you? 5 miles from town--- that means that the local town constabulary probably doesn't get out there much, and doesn't have jurisdiction if he does get there. That leaves the county sheriff. The county may be 50 miles from one side to the other, and there just aren't that many sheriff's police cruising around. So-- the farmer may have to deal with the problems himself. By the time the police get there, it wouldn't matter anymore. Also-- there's critter control. Nothing beats a 30-06 to get the wolverine that's been raiding your chicken-coop. You want fried chicken and scrambled eggs, gotta kill the wolverine. Farmers have guns for the same reason they have tractors--- they need these tools to run a successful operation.
