[DieselNuts]

how convenient. if you're so brilliant you wouldn't be arguing for the WRONG side, whether you can SEE it or not. many who have posted here can SEE the other side, but all it does is make us laugh at how ridiculous it is.

Quoted for troof. Reps for you buddy

Those of you that are sooooo afraid of inanimate objects need to look at logic and FACTS.

This legislation has been in place in many many places already and some of your totally unrealistic logic has been proven wrong. Take Miami as an example.

From what I've read, this was in place there. Guess what happened? The crime rate drastically dropped. Why? Because the criminals suddenly were afraid and weren't sure just who was packing. But guess what else happened, that in my mind cements even more my thought process on this subject.......the crime rate in some other areas actually went UP. Yep, UP. Follow this now.....stick with me.

The criminals steered clear of those areas where they no longer KNEW that people would be easy prey due to the new legislation, SOOOO they figured out WHERE there were areas where they KNEW people would be unarmed. Guess where that is? AIRPORT. Yes, the Miami-Dade Int'l Airport. The criminals KNOW that when you come OFF an airplane you are definetly NOT carrying any weapons. Hell, we all KNOW that. So they would loiter around the airport, find their mark....usually someone renting a car (i.e. out of towners).....and follow them out of the airport. They would do the good ole "swoop and dive" car accident scheme where they just "accidentally" bump you to get you to stop and get out of the car....at which point since they KNOW you are NOT protected they turn the tables and rob you AT GUN POINT. See how that works?

So again, if any of you following the gun control herd mentality that says "GUNS kill people", should use some logic and seek FACTS. Giving people MORE power to protect themselves against criminals is NEVER a bad idea.

The ironic thing is that in today's AJC editorial, probably because the deadline is today for Perdue to veto this bill, they echo exactly what some of the gun control nuts in here are saying. Funny thing is that it would probably take all of 5 mins to find a million pages worth of FACTS on those cities where this has already been in place for a while, long enough to come to some concrete conclusions which overwhelmingly show crime rates do indeed DROP when gun laws are laxed. But if you read the editorial, it falls over backward saying there is "zero proof" that crime rates are affected by gun laws. Hmmmm, then why have ANY gun laws at all IF they do "nothing" according to you????
