And I wouldn't wish it on anyone.<br /><br />I wonder if her feelings were much the same before it happened? The event only reenforced her beliefs. Having said that, it is interesting to note the late Mike Royko, columnist for the Tribune and the Sun-Times, was an ardent anti-gun (specifically handguns) supporter... until he got mugged. That changed his whole outlook. Made him quite the pain in the butt to Mayor Daley for the rest of the time Royko was alive and writing.<br /><br />So, sometimes folks can go the other way to, when they are messed with by fate.Guy Shttp://navvet55.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35333449.post-70806692456599553002010-10-03T20:51:28.286-04:002010-10-03T20:51:28.286-04:00Lawdog and I are only trying to convince those who...Lawdog and I are only trying to convince those who would be on the fence.<br />The writer of this post has had a personal tragedy, and rather than blame the person responsible for said tragedy she blames the tool that he used. No one is ever going to change her mind, and I for one will not try. Likewise she is never going to change my mind. Both sides are therefore battling for the undecideds.<br />This is why, in my update, I said the most important question was number 20. As long as we disagree on the terms, we will disagree on the solution. And we will always disagree on the terms.<br />Thanks for dropping by Guy!Larryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11308171394825291900noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35333449.post-44394893089782809532010-10-03T00:07:50.866-04:002010-10-03T00:07:50.866-04:00Living in the "Peoples Republick of Illinois&...Living in the "Peoples Republick of Illinois", I have major heartburn about ANY law which infringes on my 2nd Amendment right(s). <br /><br />I would sum up my answers to all her questions with one response: "What part of 'shall not be infringed' do you fail to understand?".<br /><br />IMHO anyone should be allowed to arm themselves as they see fit. And until they are in direct conflict with that pesky "Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness" thing, it is nobodies business but their own, what kind of armaments they have.<br /><br />You and lawdog are far more patent (and civil) in your answering her questions.
