Anything New?
I believe everything pro or con about guns have been said thousands of times. If anyone hears anything new, please let us know.
All of us knows two truths about the gun issue. No one needs a military type weapon to "protect" his family and we will never be able to take guns away from the criminals and the mentally ill.
Wrong
(in reply to Local Citizen)
We can absolutely take some guns from criminals and the mentally ill. Now if we could only prevent the mentally ill from being elected...
Beavers and Butt Head...
Truly one of the top three headlines in the history of Knoxviews.
Thanks, It came to me this
(in reply to trobinson)
Thanks,
It came to me this morning sitting on the loo and reading WBIR News. I could picture these two standing in a doorway just as George Wallace did in 1963 yelling something about state sovereignty, or maybe "citizens' arrest" like Gomer Pyle.
