We're the Only Ones Special Enough

"These are guns that will not fall into the hands of gang members or other criminals and can never become the instrument of a tragic event," said Rick Blanton, crime prevention specialist, in a statement. [More]
A "crime prevention specialist"...

I find it hard to believe that any specialist who actually thinks such nonsense will prevent crime is competent.  And if they don't believe it but parrot it anyway, I find it hard to believe they're honest.

Either way, isn't that special?

And if we all became Amish there'd be no accidental Rx overdoses, car crashes or electrocutions...
Go for it, Blanton. We'll watch on our hi-def TVs.

No idea why. Just tested it again and it sent me to the correct story on Contra Costa Times.

I've been leafing through "Armenian Golgotha," a survivor's account of the Islamic jihad and genocide against Armenian Christians in Turkey, 1912-1914. A favorite technique was **planting guns in Armenian homes** to cast intellectuals and other undesirables in the roles of insurrectionist rebels and execute them.
A high Turkish police official gathered 6,400 Armenian women, young girls and babies in arms together and marched them to a remote valley, where 10,000 government-invited Turkish villagers massacred them clumsily and slowly with farming tools. Their own countrywomen, just a little "different."
Historians say Hitler was inspired by the Islamic Turks' methods.

Anyone who has a problem with your having guns has a problem with you being alive, period.
