Here's my only doubt about guns residing under the comforting umbrella of "law abiding citizens." The concept of why possessing a gun is approved and necessary is a far different proposition from and unrelated to "law abiding citizen."
Indeed, I am not sure there is such a thing. We all are "LACs" until we get caught violating the law, which we all will do in different circumstances. Don't deny it. I know you.
Every career criminal had at least a few years before he committed any offense. The day before he developed the first sudden and uncontrollable urge to hold up a 711, he was a "law abiding citizen." |

| Don't ANY of these morons even have a clue about 5th and 6th Amendment due process rights, and that no fundamental right can be denied anyone without them? |

No, most of us do not have "itchy trigger fingers." Life's not a spaghetti Western, pal; better grow up and get to know reality.
Most crime is committed by a small but busy group of offenders. The idea that ordinary people just decide to rob a 7-11 one day is nonsense... the typical individual tried for murder has a long list of priors. Before that, there were juvenile offenses, and before that, behavioral issues. If there ever was a time when he was a normal, decent person, it was really short and long since forgotten, and hardly relevant compared with people who remain "good" into adulthood.

The normal person who suddenly becomes a violent criminal one day is an exception, not the rule. A person's character and temperament don't just change one day except in cases of head trauma, stroke, or other such thing; you can get a fairly good idea how someone will behave tomorrow by watching him today.
The idea that we're all a hair's breadth away from being a career criminal is just another lie intended to justify taking guns from people who didn't commit any crime.

TO REMEMBER |
| As an individual, I believe, very strongly, that handguns should be banned and that there should be stringent, effective control of other firearms. However, as a judge, I know full well that the question of whether handguns can be sold is a political one, not an issue of products liability law, and that this is a matter for the legislatures, not the courts. The unconventional theories advanced in this case (and others) are totally without merit, a misuse of products liability laws. � Judge Buchmeyer, Patterson v. Gesellschaft, 1206 F.Supp. 1206, 1216 (N.D. Tex. 1985) |
