Reply #28: There's a better chance a gun will work against you rather than help you

[billbuckhead]

Guns aren't the panacea the gun manufacturers and the neocons sell them as. Like can they really guarantee that armed gays won't be bashed. Of course not. It's easier to sell you a gun rather than to do the hard work to build social harmony or more cynically, they want us all scared to death of each other cause we're shooting at each other. That's "compassionate conservatism" in action.
