Read up on the history of gun control. Start with the Dred Scott decision, where Chief Justice Taney stated that blacks could not be citizens, because if they were citizens, they'd be able to travel freely and own guns.
Gun control has ALWAYS been about disarming minorities.
We don't like being stripped of our civil liberties. And gun control advocates are not communists, they're fascists.
It's amazing....when you (self-admittedly) try to strip our rights away from us, we say "Hey, you bastard, leave our rights alone!" Go figure. I will not give up my freedoms so that you can FEEL more secure. And concealed carry has been shown to carry a correlation with decreased violent crime.

I see your rights are far more important than my rights. If I disagree and speak out I am whatever nasty filthy adjective you want to call me, but if I were to call you names then you'd cry I was disrespecting you. Sounds like a bully's behavior to me, and I thought this country was supposed to be an equal and fair country not one of bullying and bashing.
