Do liberals think that law abiding citizens in Boston would currently be better off without firearms?

I'm just saying, if my town was on lock down and the lunatic on the loose was likely to still have explosives, I might be game for protecting my family with an AR15.

Update:

@Eliot K

Maybe you should wrap your mind around the fact that we have a right to protect ourselves. If you don't feel that way, fine, but you can leave law abiding citizens alone and stop insulting their intelligence.

Update 2:

@Frank

Um, I never gave any notion that I would be antagonizing cops. Just protecting myself, my family, and my property from those who would intend harm.

    The trouble with liberals is just that they know so much that isn't so.

    The Liberal ideology is a theory , fostered by a delusional, illogical minority and which holds forth beliefs that have no basis in reality.

    Criminals don't pay any attention to laws... If guns were ever banned than only the bad guys would have them..Criminals prefer unarmed victims!!

    Having a gun will not help all the time but being defenseless will never help..

    Calling 911 and asking the bad guy to wait is not a viable option.

    Better to have a gun and not need it than to need it and not have it!!!

    watch how many people become pro gun in the 20 block lock down area in Boston.

    The NRA should open an office in there too. A good location.

    Poll after poll after poll of Bostonians says that they feel they're better off with serious restrictions on gun ownership. Who the hell are you to tell Bostonians how they should or should not think about the topic of guns in their town?

    I agree that in some situations, being armed MIGHT be better than not.

    However, most humans are advanced enough to realize that some practices that are good in some cases, such as opening up the chest of a living person, are good in some situations (heart surgery) and not so good in other cases (killing a friend).

    I agree with you, however, that this distinction - that guns are useful sometimes, but overall contribute to increased injury and death - might is too intellectual for Conservatives to discern and understand.

    yes, you go run out in front of the swat teams with your AR-15 and you show them how it's done.

    Keep fantasizing. In reality, the cops would shoot you dead if you tried it.

    Liberals seem to believe whatever their less than sane and honest leaders tell them to believe.
