Lets see you provide some example of this "fairy tale". What planet are conservatives from?

How many criminals have decided NOT to rob, rape or burglarize due to their fear that their prospective victim may be armed?

You can't exactly collect that kind of information, yet crime statistics indicate that they DO make that choice.

How is the above statement, proof of THIS:

"The ONLY thing that has kept America free and safe since 1789 is the 2nd Amendment and the people who are responsible enough to arm themselves and keep close watch on the statist autocrats who are inexorably drawn to positions of government power."

In reality I know there IS NO PROOF cause it's a right wing talking point, not reality.

The Second Amendment is this so-called protector, but it's been a dud so far: Wilson, LBJ, FDR, The Hussein...HILLARY CLINTON!!

Remind us again why Obama is sending guns to Syria to overthrow the Government there.

Like?

I look things UP.

You don't, it seems.

Paging CNN host Piers Morgan. A new Rasmussen Report shows an overwhelming majority of Americans believe the Second Amendment and gun rights are necessary to protect against tyranny.

Two-out-of-three Americans recognize that their constitutional right to own a gun was intended to ensure their freedom.

The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 65% of American Adults think the purpose of the Second Amendment is to make sure that people are able to protect themselves from tyranny. Only 17% disagree, while another 18% are not sure.

In case you missed it...
