How did what I said above sound like paranoia? I stated facts about how the
US government slowly takes our rights away. That is paranoia? How? We _DO_
have a law in Kennesaw Ga that you _MUST_ own a gun... Crime dropped in
Kennesaw. Let's see, In Washington DC guns are illegal, crime is rampant in
DC with tons of shootings every day. Did the law help, or hurt?

Where did I ever say you should shoot someone for _any_ reason? You are
implying that I am paranoid, and that I'd like land-mines in my yard...
Owning a gun for self defence, and planting land-mines are two completely
different things. You're just being silly.
