I'm beginning to believe that for you this is really about gun control. Are you for additional gun control measures?
Regarding your failure to see what my reply has to do with your commentary, let me remind you that it was YOU who sated:
1. " Sorry, I've never lived in a city like Tarzana California where the robbery rate is four times the national average...." ( In response to theking)
2. " Like I said, the robbery rate is nearly four times the national average. Murder is three times the national average. The city of Tarzana scores higher than the national average in all areas. Maybe this is why I don't understand why people want their neighborhood watches armed - I've never lived in a city with a crime rate that high."
3. "Still don't have people crying about how we need to arm ourselves and form an armed civilian posse. "
So you:
1. Essentially slam theking / and Tarzana for being a high crime area
2. Compare Tarzana you your own... much better area < insert sarcasm >
3. In doing so you make it sound as if you are flabbergasted because in your worldview crime justifying armed watches don't happen in areas like yours.
4. You insinuate that in your view, low crime areas don't want / shouldn't want armed neighborhood watches. And furthermore, those that do are.. in your own words ... "crying"
My point is that you know full well crime happens everywhere... and terrible crime at that. It happens in high crime areas and very affluent, low crime areas. A simple search reveals that.
Where you and I disagree is that you apparently don't feel that citizens should have the right to carry firearms even though it is perfectly legal to do so.
