Old Joe might be a crafty little devil who managed to acquire a weapon before he got his list of priors, but we are wandering far afield into hypothetical land on that one, I'll admit.

Oh, and I did some checking, and for the most recent year I could find statistics (2001), Colorado issued less than 600 concealed weapons permits. I imagine that with the war on terror, blah, blah, that number has gone up, but, in general, Coloradoans really do seem to prefer the chic "rifle in pick-up window" thing. Its so Cowboy, ya know?

No, you're wandering into the special land occupied by Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny, the Tooth Fairy, Honest Politicians, and Sincere Reporters.

I suggest an extra 5 mg of Haldol.

And because the bullet went through a window and killed a 9-year-old playing in his apartment.

NINE YEAR OLD HONOR STUDENT KILLED IN APARTMENT WHEN DRUG DEAL GOES BAD! Oct 5, 2005 Faux News

Nine year old Timmy Jones seemed like just another unsupervised child in his low income neighborhood. Neighbor Cindy Lou Ferrakim, a welfare mother of 8, described Timmy as a "good kid".

"He wuz alwaz gonna out of hiz way to hep folks round here," she said. "He'd let me slide on the crack money ah owed him till my gubberment check come in at tha end of tha month," she explained.

Timmy's third grade teacher at nearby WeAintPayingforTHEM Elementary School, expressed surprise at the shooting incident which occured yesterday afternoon. "Timmy was the brightest kid in the class! I even helped him fill out his application for a concealed gun permit. He said he needed it when he baby sat for his two younger sisters when his mother had to work the late shift at Burger King."

Police questioned and then released 10 year old Abdul Smith in connection with the Jones shooting. "Abdul claims Timmy pulled his weapon first," explained officer Rodriguez of the 666th precinct. "not much we can do about it."

Officials from Burger King were unavialable for comment.

Wait a minute. Not every kid that's stuck in the slums with his poor family is in the drug trade. There are plenty of victims on the other side of the tracks.
That's like saying the scumbags that we saw on the news, looting after the hurricane, are representative of New Orleans residents.

No, REALLY, Bruce? Nah, all poor folks are drug dealers with guns. I'm sure of it! I'm poor. I have a gun. And I take meds. QED!

Rich, you are BS'ing again, and lame to an amputated and not merely gimpy degree. I'd really rather you grew some common sense, but then again, you never showed much of that under the RichLevy handle in AoL Chat, either. Carefully fatuous or visibly hemipygian, take your pick -- you haven't got the brains you credit yourself with having.

If you're going to carry a shooter of any description around, it must be lethal to save you in any possible threat scenario.

What, and give up the fun of reminding you in perpetuity that you're old enough to know better -- and so clearly do not? C'est rire!

As a rule, on this matter the NRA-ILA has the right idea. For convincing demonstrations of just how right the NRA is, read Stopping Power, by J. Neil Schulman; More Guns, Less Crime, John Lott -- this is his comprehensive study encompassing all 3015 counties in the United States over a period of fifteen years; That Every Man Be Armed: the Evolution of a Civil Right, by Stephen P. Halbrook, the Constitutional lawyer who argued before the Supreme Court against certain provisions of the Brady Act and got them repealed; and the final condemnation of any kind of gun control: Lethal Laws: "Gun Control" is the Key to Genocide, by Simkin, Zelman, and Rice. These people all know what they're at.

I've studied all these texts, and more besides. They are why I know gun banning is inimical to the existence of a genuine republic, and how important gun banning is to keeping crime high and genocidal episodes practicable.
