Love blackwater, got friends in that company, great bunch of guys. To bad they can't defend themselves on TV against stupid lefties, against policy.

There is a trend to come down hard on some communities with a strong police presence. They want guns turned over so they can reduce the murder rates and there are surveillance cameras going up every where. These are communities where law abiding decent people have become isolated, are afraid of armed criminals, and where violent gangs are visibly in control of the streets. These communities would only be found in certain inner city regions where, coincidentally there is a strong liberal mind set. Alternatively there are communities where law abiding decent people don't cower or back down from armed criminals and where violent gangs are unable to get a foot hold. Decent citizens, play freely in the parks, take evening strolls, and enjoy peaceful coexistence with their friends and neighbors. No one would dare invade their privacy or intimidate them with threats of violence and such. Gun ownership is not a controversial issue and many people in these communities are gun owners, even though they would probably never be need to be used in self defence. Murders are relatively rare, and criminals are quickly incarcerated.
