all these stories have dumbasses in them. Steve, I have a brother who was shot THROUGH the heart at age 13. By a kid whose father didn't properly store a weapon away. Gun ownership has many responsibilities. If this nation wasn't so scared of guns, maybe the majority would learn to educate themselves more freely and openly on safety. Anywho, who better to ask about guns than someone who has narrowly avoided death in one of the stupid incidents you point out above? I will seriously PM you my brother Jimmy's number if you want. If you live in the Rochester area, he will meet you, show you the press clipping, and the scar across his chest. In your eyes, he should have the same views as you do. Want to find out for sure? I'm absolutely serious about this.

steve. or is it Stevie as in Wonder? Try this: BTW, you are the one who threw the "idiot" reference out there.

don't talk politics with her. you might just remain a virgin if you do

i'm more a Libertarian/Republican. I found them funny and I also find Stev Stojan hilarious.

they also assist in protection, Steve. you know why you can't find stats on how many lives they have helped save EVEN BY NOT BEING FIRED??? of coarse you can't. the #'s are invisible. But so's electricity, and even an idiot knows electricity is real w/o actually seeing it.

"...But only an idiot can't see that they have done more harm than good." another LIE. How do you suppose this country got out of the grips of tyrrany? couldn't have been our ability to produce and operate fire arms. Nah, that just doesn't match your "stats". you are so blind that it's comical. really it is. and sad at the same time.

another thing "......guns cause...." Guns? They have a mind of their own? The evil rays of the sun cause skin cancer too. Look up those stats. How about looking up deaths caused by stab wounds too. How about car accidents (not alcohol related)? let's ban knives and autos too.

see what I mean. Steve would rather be stabbed to death than save himself with a pistol.

i'm sure you and I can put our political views aside and share in this Season of Giving. Happy Holidays, man.

pics?

good stuff. the brainwashed will get bored after reading the 1st one. then they'd skip the rest and continue on with their "But, but, but" and their "If if if..." btw, ever read "Ballad of Carl Drega"? lots of these type of accounts in that book. sadly, there are also accounts of the other results.

word. these poor misguided youths, victims of our horrible country, need coddling and understanding. once we get all of them rehabilited, we will have world peace.

Funny you bring up Bernie Goetz. I was just thinking of him when this thread started. It was horrible how the bedwetters and Sheeple completely spun it around so that he was the deranged criminal. Oh those poor young boys in the subway. the Brainwashing is so scary to me.

most people take a break from homework to go on TBD, Steve does the opposite. There is life beyond the monitor, Steve.

Ray Lewis Dance School student, Takeo Spikes.

scares me when these guy pick Buffalo. really it does.

i'm not arguing how many albums he sold, stiff or breathing. what I am talking about is why he is so idolized and what Rap is about today. It ain't about being musically gifted or talented. It's about all the other sh--. Why???? College courses??? I laugh my a$$ off at that. what a waste. ask any successful person what acedemic background they have (minus any Rock or entertainment star) and I'll bet you don't see "Tupac - gangster 101" as a major. how silly.

more uneducated babble. If this woman carried a gun, she would most likely have had some very extensive training. a well trained individual with a gun (yes WOMEN too) can be amazingly accurate and composed knowing they have the "ace in the hole". Think about it.

yes. in her purse? you betcha!!! again you miss my point, if more criminals have to face more risk (i.e. potential victim carrying heat) allot of this sh-- would cease. and by saying HER gun, he was implying that a woman cannot defend herself against two men even if she has a gun. I know plenty of women who carry and are quite skilled. Her chances of getting the gun and using it to save herself and child would have been pretty good considering they needed her to get the ATM card and use it. The card in their hands with her lying there dead from a bullet from her own gun would not do them any good. her chances with a gun are greater than her chances without one. ask the mom and the girl if they feel "fortunate". Ask her if she wishes she had a gun when this hapened and i'm pretty sure she'd say yes.

There are plenty of college coarses that are extremely ridiculous. from "P0rn 101" to "How to fold napkins with you penis". the founder of what Rap is today? there's something to be proud of. How many times has $0.50 been shot? See the Vibe Awards lately? gimme a break. what Rap is about today is how criminally involved you can be, who's a$$ you can wack and get away with, how many b!tches and ho's you can bang, who you can publicly disgrace, which gang you were raised by, your arrest record, street cred, etc....the list goes on. How about Run DMC? how about them getting some credit for being the "founders". Oh yeah, that's right one of them did get killed outside a recording studio. So, I guess it took them a while, but they have reclaimed top honors of what Rap is all about.

God given, meaning we should't have to be given the right to protect ourselves. It's already ours. I mentioned nothing of the Constitution for that reason.

you are very funny. read what you wrote, please. entertain yourself. did you notice these a-holes STABBED and PUNCHED??????? but you still blame guns. You are hilarious.

"...he was involved with the east-side crips of LA." all the more reason to idolize him.

can you imagine if she had only carried a hand gun in her purse? "Hold on, my card is in my handbag. Cover your ears honey" is the last thing those a-holes would have heard. if more people were allowed to use our God-given rights to own and carry a gun, the more of a risk it becomes targeting a woman and child.

what's he gonna be wearing?
