GR: I realize that We are at the opposite ends of the spectum politically, but saying that Conservatives feel that "the poor" deserve it and could change their lives if they really really wanted to,AND,"arm the rich to shoot the poor" is totally an unfair projection on your part! I don't know anyone who feel that poor folks(or old or disabled) are in those situations out of choice! But there are many people who abuse the systems set into place for the care of the aforementioned groups(workmens comp scams including doctors who overbill State), Welfare recipients who work "under the table" for cash,etc etc.There are individuals who scam SSI and myriad other examples of people trying get something that's not theirs/for nothing. Secondly, I don't have knowledge of any rich guys riding around their gated communities doing "drive-bys" cuz they don't like the job the gardener did. There are home invasion robberies every day here in SoCal and it's primarily the wanta-haves taking it from the older folks and the weak. Car-jackings,road rage,and Gangs dot the landscape as well. In these situations, conservative/liberal doesn't come up at all. People should be able to defend themselves and their homes,and kids should be safe from guns and predators...at all costs!
