A mile away, huh. So this sense is always there, or at least any time you're not by yourself in remote wilderness?

If there is proper gun control, this deranged man would not have a gun in the first place.

So, you hate freedom.
I hate the idea that freedom is some kind of overriding concern.  It's a nice thing but other things are more important, such as public safety and order, providing a decent standard of living to your people, fostering a sense of community.
I do not hate you, nor do I love you, but you are made out of atoms which I can use for something else.

I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

He hates the freedom you and I and Malthus have to eat pork, because he is envious.

Nah, criminals can always get guns somehow, even if they have to rent them.

Yep.  "Freedom" is a preposterously overrated concept, and could only realistically apply in the limitless world of gods.  We are constrained by so many forces, especially by biological ones but scarcely less by social ones, that freedom from government intervention as a no-questions-asked principle is senseless.

In that case, the gun controls aren't tough enough.

Going through life never knowing what BBQ pork, ribs, etc tastes like. I feel sad for him. Frankly it's just un-American.

I know.
So what? Do you ahve anything against lesbians?
Do you think lesbians do not have/deserve the right to defend themselves?

At least I am not a traitor to the uniform I wear. Unlike you.
I might not eat pork, but I have defended with my life the right for you to do so.
And fuck you, bithc.
