They set up a discussion thread for the show.

You have to read it from the bottom up (new posts appear on top).
So far, our side is doing quite well.

Maria Heil actually dropped me EMail thanking me after that last one :cool:.
What's comical is that the grabbers also watching haven't even *tried* a rebuttal. It's been three days now :D.

You guys are lucky. According to the program guide for my area, the PBS station here is not showing it.

Did you see the post about "...it is important to note that guns are made with the sole intent of killing, cars are not." and this, "In supporting one's right to carry a gun, you are in favor of supporting its intentional use, which is to kill another human - which I do not support."
I had to reply - they probably won't post it so here it is.
into the person who posted this:
"...it is important to note that guns are made with the sole intent of killing, cars are not." and this, "In supporting one's right to carry a gun, you are in favor of supporting its intentional use, which is to kill another human - which I do not support."
This is faulty logic. Guns are an implement of war and have evolved into an implement defense. In warfare, the best tactic is to take as many enemy combatants off of the battlefield as possible. One of the BEST ways to get that result in close combat is to INJURE the enemy combatants and subsequently take the injured and those that come to their aid off the battlefield. Injure one, and three or more will be taken out of combat. This is a well known military tactic. The statement that guns are made with the sole intent of killing is incorrect. Guns are designed to propel a projectile at high velocity, period. A hammer is designed to drive and remove nails, period. Either one can injure or kill depending on the person operating the device.
With that said, I can't understand the logic behind depriving the lawful citizen, male or female, the most effective means of defending oneself. It only gives the unlawful, those who respect no law, firearm or otherwise, the upper-hand in the commission of their crimes. Females, being the physically smaller of the species, naturally benefit more from the equalizing effect of the defensive firearm.
:)
Does this make the point that things don't have intent....?
Maybe someone else should point out the rampant hoplophobia in this persons post.
I'll second El Tejons' comment about Jim March. More than once I've read comments posted praising him.
To Jim March:
I have to agree, I'm very glad you are on "our" side, the side of logic and reason.

Jim March.
I read the entire thread over on the Peoples Broadcast board, I concur with Brother Tejon.
general,
I do not concur with your statement that you're glad Jim March is on our side. I'm glad I'm on his side. :)
