Look at D.C. Chrissy. With their handgun ban for years (that was just recently declared unconstitutional) they have a higher gun violence rate than cities three times their size.

There is plenty of empiracle evidence that proves that NRA pithy statement is absolutely true. If guns are illegal, then only criminals will have guns.

The day that "politician" became a career choice is the day we started losing the Republic. Let's get it back! Alan Keyes '08.

MATTHEWS: You know what I think? In big cities they ought to check people on sidewalks like getting on airplanes.

   Wow.... he not only wants to take away the 2nd ammendment but also the 4th with its restrictions on unreasonable searches and seizures.

CHRIS MATTHEWS: Go ahead Deroy, you live in the city. I don't understand how we want to get on the subway at night knowing that everybody else in the subway is armed, and because I have a gun I'm OK.

  OK Chris, suppose it's just you and your wife and another guy in the subway car at night, and he turns out to be a crazy with a gun..... and he knows you are unarmed.

Disarming citizens stops crime and condoms stop rape and syringes only available to doctors stops illegal drugs and 9 11 did not happen because Chris Matthews showed Muslims Americans understand.

All of that makes perfect sense.

More important who is the brunette hottie at the bottom of the picture grab.......surely Mr. Finkelstein you can do a weekly Newsbuster segment on her.......and hopefully she will email you some pictures of her for the blogs.
If I knew who she was I would request them myself lol.

All things considered, if I were in a large city with a history of, and reputation for, violence, I would for darn sure want 50 or 60 armed CCW permit holders around me.  The reason being I know that any fool who wanted to start some **** wouldn't live to tell about it, and he (or she) wouldn't clog up an already overburdened criminal justice system.  Also, it's pretty hard to cop a plea to get a wrist slap when you suddenly gain a few ounces of weight.

This is probably just an urban legend but;  I've heard that New York's Sullivan law was passed because the criminals complained about running into armed citizens.

Thank you, Mark, for posting this.  I was watching (nothing better to do) and could barely contain throwing something through the TV.  The ignorance of liberals to the actual issues of gun ownership is unbelievable.

Does anyone think that Matthews or any of his ilk would stand by and let the police frisk a young black or latino and confiscate any weapon found?  Or would they be standing on their desks in their safe studios railing on the unreasonable search and seizure along with racial profiling?

One armed (with CCW permit) volunteer security guard at a church in Colorado saved untold lives from a crazed gunman.  What happened at Va. Tech?  Columbine?  Luby's?  San Ysidro McDonalds?  Von Maur?  Post Office in Oklahoma?  Red Lake?  Law Office in San Francisco?

Give me an armed, law abiding citizen any time.

Poor Crissy. That damned second amendment always seems to get in the way of grand liberal utopian plans of the crime-free peace and harmony that would spring forth from a disarmed populace. Of course, giving me the ability to fend off a government that would try to impose such a ridiculous fantasyland is exactly why the founders put it there in the first place!

And FYI Crissy, Mitt Romney does not claim to be a "lifetime" member of the NRA. He is a "life" member (as am I). This is an official membership status within the NRA and means that you are a member from the point of application until the day you die. I was an annual member off and on for years until I became a life member at about the age of 35 (as I recall it cost about $750). Guess that makes me less of an NRA member, too, since I didn't come out of the womb with a membership card (although I may have been holding a gun :-))

Crissy's obviously just trying to get back his liberal bona fides after being smacked down by ma and pa Clinton.

Chris needs to be in jail instead of Donna Holman. He hates the Constitution and would do better in France where he can watch his savings be eaten up by the exchange rate. Maybe people there will listen.

So, Chris, you want the government to confiscate the firearms of law-abiding citizens, who pose absolutely no threat to any other law-abiding citizens. Fine.

When the police come knocking on your door and tell you they are there to search your house for guns, what, exactly, are you going to say to them?

None are so hopelessly enslaved as those who falsely believe they are free. -J.W. von Goethe

Chris Matthews (who's SO in the bag for Democrats) thinks "criminals, rather than law-abiding citizens, will obey restrictions on gun ownership"?

That reminds me of the saying, "In Germany, there will be no revolution, for in Germany all revolutions are strictly forbidden." Cluelesss people are all the same.

to inform them that Keith Olberman of MSNBC has become a regular diarist at Daily Kos and yet is allowed by MSNBC to co-anchor debates. This network has become shameless in its bias and I don't understand why more isn't being made of this by the Republican Party/candidates.

   The Dems refuse to debate at Fox but the Repubs continue to debate at MSNBC despite their outrageous bias.

   Can you imagine the stink the Dems would raise if O'Reilly was posting diaries at Red State or Little Green Footballs?

   AND FOX DOES NOT ALLOW O'REILLY TO CO-ANCHOR NEWS OR PRESIDENTIAL DEBATES! And yet MSNBC allows KO to call himself a 'neutral newscaster' and has him anchoring debates.

   If the Repubs continue to play nice like this and not call out MSNBC or the MSM on their outrageous bias, then they deserve to lose the general election.

   Those Repub wusses who appear on Hardball never call Matthews on his bias. Not once during this Hardball segment about gun control did any of the guests challenge him.

   What the hell is wrong with the Repubs? They allow the liberal memes to fly and never counter them or rebut them. I've lost my respect for the Republican party. Their representatives are neither forceful nor articulate enough when it comes to fighting back.

Note the words of the Rudy-backer. He thinks "Vermont carry" is a bad thing, just like Chrissy. Memo to Deroy: We have "a license" already. See Amendment 2.

Things like this are what worry conservatives like me about Rudy's campaign, even though it seems moribund currently. Why not let the Democrats push this Democrat idea? Do you see why a lot of us tend to call your candidate "a RINO" when you agree on this issue with a partisan-Democrat like Chris freakin' Matthews?

Chris, wish in one hand and you know the rest. Can or will state or local governments protect us? The answer is no. Therefore, we must protect ourselves. Will the citizens of the United States allow themselves to be disarmed? No. Not now, not ever.
