What exactly is a strategic pistol? The tile in a game of "Clue?"
Pistols aren't strategic weapons, just tactical. Do you know the
difference?
Yes. A pistol intentionally left in sight of the enemy, to distract
him or lure him into a trap, would be a strategically used pistol,
even if the pistol itself is only a tactical weapon.
You guys would be funny if you didn't kill people.
We don't. You can't tell the difference between a gun owner and a
murderer. Until you do, substantive discussion isn't possible.
Your argument is strategic. The tactic is no discussion, resulting in
no changes to gun laws, which is your ultimate goal. Live (or die)
with it, but at least acknowledge that pro-gun's strategy endangers
the gun avoidance tactics of others.

Your strategy leaves dead people.
I feel like I'm at a movie, where some kid is whispering "I see dead people" to a ghost.

Inspired by "Outlaw Josey Wales." The quote: "He's not a hard man to
track. Leaves dead men wherever he goes." It may be a bit dramatic,
BB, but the point remains. You guys keep dismissing
illegal/improper/deadly use of legal hand guns, and the problem's only
going to get worse.

And that's the point you keep dismissing, swamp. ODC's do NOT support the illegal use of guns, nor do we dismiss the problem as you claim. We are fully aware that a very small percentage of guns are misused. But we already have laws in place to punish the misuse of guns.

As to that latest 'citizen' down in Florida, I don't think he was one. He was a Cuban immigrant who had reputedly been in the US for ten years.

Here's another E-Z fix for the problem, swamp. Stop ALL immigration now. We've got all the people we'll ever need. And we've got all the laws we'll ever need, including those 22,000 or so firearms laws at city, state, and federal levels.
