You don't "Have to" explain a thing.rmcrobertson said:I continue to be surprised that I have to explain capitalism to its advocates
See, the way our economic and social system
Because this is the way our system works
I'd be very interested to see some chapter-and-verse on exactly who, where, when and why somebody got sued for shooting a home invader. This stuff is mostly just mythology and ideology--it can happen (as I've already mentioned more than twice on this thread), but it is unusual.
The fact that AGAIN any discussion (let alone contradiction!) of the whole gun-waving thing gets called ranting is a good sign of the trouble we're in.
I'm not 'advocating' capitalism.
The issue isn't economics.
The issue isn't capitalism.
The issue isn't Right wing this and left wing that.
The issue isn't FOX news or Savage.
The issue isn't Gunsor the 'waving' of them.
The issue isn't about 'race'.
The issue isn't Property.
The issue isn't politicians.
The Issue IS about the defense of oneself and loved ones.
The issue IS about a persons right to defend the life and wellbeing of themselves and their loved ones in their home in any way they see fit without fear of huge legal reprocussions if they do.
I don't need to see stats on home burglaries that result in murder. I have seen them in the past, and they are real.
I don't have to look up line and verse on people who've been sued by burglars, I'm related to people who have. It's an injustice and it's wrong.
I say that a person should be able to defend themselves and their loved ones when they percieve a threat. Period.
That's the issue of this bill.
That's the issue of this thread.
Your sermon on correcting what ails this country is Your rant and nobody brought it here but you.
Your Brother
