TTAG reader Aaron emailed a link to this image accompanying Tenn. rejects more gun purchase applications at The Daily News Journal of Murfreesboro TN. I understand why he finds it so upsetting: the sign maker (one Lee Foster) assumes that Americans who own guns lawfully don’t care about safeguarding innocent life. In the main, the exact opposite is true. In fact, the firearm in the single best tool a law-abiding person can use to protect innocent life when facing an attack by someone who doesn’t respect the sanctity of human life. The road to hell may be paved with good intentions but that doesn’t excuse driving with your eyes closed. Ms. Foster and her ilk are going to hit something. But that’s the way it goes.
Bravi, tutti. Bravi, indeed.
congratulations all…though i’d stumbled onto your site once a couple of years ago and put in into bookmark suspended animation since, i’ve been a daily reader since mid-december, so i’m one of the reasons for the spike. keep up the good work 🙂
You need an app. I read you guys every day. Several times a day if possible. Love the info and civil tone.

You know everybody’s got to have a purpose in this world.’

I hate to say it, but if you’re watching this poorly written….show, then you’ve bought in to the self-serving media marketing campaign they’ve created for you. A morality play, in a world that has devolved into kill or
be killed? Then….AND then, discussing a shoot don’t shoot scenario afterwards, and then bothering to take a poll about it like it’s the Dr. Phil Show? Sorry, but I can hardly restrain my laughter. In this scenario, we only need to recall those 4 cynical words from the movie Full Metal Jacket. “Better him than me.” Damned straight Skippy!
If the person holding the sign is indeed a fellow Tennessean, please forgive their IGNORANCE. Tennessee was recently ranked the 3rd most “free” state. The folks that live here intend for it to stay that way.
Typical gun grabber agenda. She and others want everyone to conform to their disarmament.
Gun rights advocates would allow her to choose gun or no gun and be responsible for the consequences. Maybe that’s attraction of no choice. You can’t be held accountable for the outcome.
I like choice.
Carl is turning into one cute little psychopath.
And ObamaCare would NEVER pass the US Supreme Court Challange
I still find it strange that they are ramming this through as emergency legislation, without public input on the actual bill that will be voted on. They must have the votes to pass it, given that it is “bipartisan”, so why the rush at the very end?
Did they relocate to somewhere out of state, or just cancel all together?
