Changing Attitudes on Gun Control

[deadhand31]

I am all for the right to bare arms.

Now if only we ccould get a governer in WI that isn't a dimwit lib, we could get some concealed carry permit action. Bills to allow CCW's have passed the state senate and house twice, only to be vetoed by stupid Doyle. Never mind that the vast majority of the state wants them to be allowed. I think both times they overrode the veto in one and were 1 or 2 short in the other.

Man, he's such an ***. It'd be nice to get sombody in office that cares about more than Madison and Milwaukee.

Sorry for the rant.

I agree. The reason it failed the last time was because of the legislators. The people who wrote the bill worked with two democrat senators who had it worded in a way that they agreed. They said if Doyle vetoed it, they would vote to override it. When it came to that, though, they backed down and voted against it.

If they didn't want it, fine, but they should have at least kept their word.

I say that everyone should be armed. Criminals do what they do because they figure they have the weapons and you don't. If everyone knew that everyone was armed, maybe they might think twice about trying stuff.

A) The number of doctors in the U.S. is 700,000
(B) Accidental deaths caused by physicians per year are 120,000
(C) Accidental deaths per physician is 17.14%

(A) The number of gun owners in the U.S. is 80,000,000
(B) The number of accidental gun deaths per year, all age groups, is 1,500
(C) The number of accidental deaths per gun owner is 0.001875%

So statistically, doctors are approximately 9,000 times more dangerous
than gun owners.
