What are you implying? Do you have reason to believe that Mr. Youngblood is a member of one of Mr. Clinton's supposed "Hate Groups"? Or are you following the liberal propaganda tactic of insinuating that anyone who doesn't subscribe to liberal doctrine is by definition evil? What do you really think will be accomplished by disarming the American public? Do you think the bad people will then just disappear? Of course not. Do you think criminals will jump on the bandwagon and disarm themselves along with the rest of us? I don't think so. So what will be accomplished by disarming law abiding citizens? Your arguments conveniently ignore the fact that where law abiding citizens are allowed to exercise their right of self defense through their right to bear and use firearms, crime rates are dropping. Where they are denied these rights by government regulations, crime rates are climbing. There is no denying, that everyone of these miscreants that have committed these atrocities have done it in places where they knew their victims would be unarmed. What purpose is to be served by forcibly disarming the rest of us, if not to make us more compliant to the will of the government in other areas? You are more than welcome to abdicate your rights (and responsibilities) under the Constitution, if you so desire. You can shift the responsibility for your personal safety and that of your loved ones off on under-staffed, underpaid, overworked public servants who's best efforts can only serve to show up after a crime has been committed and try and assign responsibility for the crime to the perpetrator(s), if they can find them. Yes, you can abdicate your rights and responsibilities to the government, but don't expect the rest of us to follow you over that cliff like a herd of lemmings.
