The rash of recent shooting incidents has led people who wouldn't know an AK-47 from a paintball gun to issue demands for more restrictions on guns. To be sure, it's hard to find any factor in these shootings that could be responsible -- other than the gun.

So far, this year's public multiple shootings were committed by:

Richard Poplawski, 23, product of a broken family, expelled from high school and dishonorably discharged from the Marines, who killed three policemen in Pittsburgh.

Former crack addict Jiverly Wong, 41, who told co-workers "America sucks" yet somehow was not offered a job as a speechwriter for Barack Obama. Wong blockaded his victims in a civic center in Binghamton, N.Y., and shot as many people as he could, before killing himself.

Robert Stewart, 45, a three-time divorcee and high school dropout with "violent tendencies" -- according to one of his ex-wives -- who shot up the nursing home in Carthage, N.C., where his newly estranged wife worked.

Lovelle Mixon, 26, a paroled felon, struggling to get his life back on track by pimping, who shot four cops in Oakland, Calif. -- before eventually being shot himself.

Twenty-eight-year-old Michael McLendon, child of divorce, living with his mother and boycotting family funerals because he hated his relatives, who killed 10 of those relatives and their neighbors in Samson, Ala.

It might make more sense to outlaw men than guns. Or divorce. Or crack. Or to prohibit felons from having guns. Except we already outlaw crack and felons owning guns and yet still, somehow, Wong got crack and Mixon got a gun.

After being pulled over for a routine traffic violation, Lovelle Mixon did exactly what they teach in driver's ed by immediately shooting four cops. Mixon's supporters held a posthumous rally in his honor, claiming he shot the cops only in "self-defense," which I take it includes the cop Mixon shot while the officer was lying on the ground.

I guess Mixon also raped that 12-year-old girl in "self-defense." Clearly, the pimping industry has lost a good man. I wish I'd known him. I tip my green velvet fedora with the dollar signs all over it to him. Why do the good ones always die young? Pimps, I mean.

Liberals tolerate rallies on behalf of cop-killers, but they prohibit law-abiding citizens working at community centers in Binghamton, N.Y., from being armed to defend themselves from disturbed, crack-addicted America-haters like Jiverly Wong.

It's something in liberals' DNA: They think they can pass a law eliminating guns and nuclear weapons, but teenagers having sex is completely beyond our control.

The demand for more gun control in response to any crime involving a gun is exactly like Obama's response to North Korea's openly belligerent act of launching a long-range missile this week: Obama leapt to action by calling for worldwide nuclear disarmament.

If the SAT test were used to determine how stupid a liberal is, one question would be: "The best defense against lawless rogues who possess _______ is for law-abiding individuals to surrender their own _______________."

Correct answer: Guns. We would also have accepted nuclear weapons.

Obama explained that "the United States has a moral responsibility" to lead disarmament efforts because America is "the only nuclear power to have used a nuclear weapon."

So don't go feeling all morally superior to a country whose business model consists of exporting heroin, nuclear bombs and counterfeit U.S. dollars, and of importing Swedish prostitutes, you yahoo Americans with your little flag lapel pins.

On the other hand, the Japanese haven't acted up much in the last, say, 64 years ...

Fortunately, our sailors didn't wait around for Obama to save them when Somali pirates boarded their ship this week. Stop right now or I'll ask the U.N. to remind the "international community" that "the U.S. is not at war with Somali pirates."

Gun-toting Americans are clearly more self-sufficient than the sissy Europeans. This is great news for everyone except Barney Frank, who's always secretly wondered what it would be like to be taken by a Somali pirate.

Police -- whom I gather liberals intend to continue having guns -- and intrepid U.N. resolution drafters can't be everywhere, all the time.

If a single civilian in that Binghamton community center had been armed, instead of 14 dead, there might have only been one or two -- including the shooter. In the end, the cops didn't stop Wong. His killing spree ended only when he decided to stop, and he killed himself.

"The shooter will eventually run out of ammo" strategy may not be the best one for stopping deranged multiple murderers.

But it's highly unlikely that any community center in the entire state would be safe from a disturbed former crack-addict like Wong because New York's restrictive gun laws require a citizen to prove he has a need for a gun to obtain a concealed carry permit.

Instead of having Planned Parenthood distribute condoms in schools, they ought to get the NRA to pass out revolvers. It would save more lives.

I don't know if the mental image of this is pleasing, or disgusting...

Maybe it would be pleasing if he was not alone...Pelosi, Kerry, Reid, et. al.

I don't like Ann Coulter. She was going along so well, making good points, until she started name calling, slamming people. Not all liberals fit into Ann Coulter "liberal" mold. She seems incapable of expressing any thought without interjecting hate.

Shame on you Ann. Shame.

I like guns. Wheel guns rule.

[NuBer92]

she is like a scorned ex. Everything that comes out of her mouth only incites hate. She has no blue collar American perspective so she really has no idea what we in the trenches are going through each and everyday.

[bdickens]

Man, I thought I was tactless and rude!

[HighVelocity]

I'm no psychiatrist but 3 words come to mind, Narcissistic Personality Disorder

[Oldgringo]

Everybody has their schtick.

We didn't watch this and we didn't watch the ABC trash either. Fair and balanced is loading up a couple hundred .45's during so called prime time.

[zaroffhunts]

She may be obnoxious but no more than Pelosi or Clinton, and Ann is much easier on the eyes. She also makes a good point with the "you first" challenge. Any politician who is honestly anti gun would order their protective detail to disarm. That they don't take such a simple step demonstrates their understanding that guns reduce crime. With that being the case, it's hard to speculate about their true motives without tripping over Godwin's Law.

[shootthesheet]

I wouldn't let Ann get you in a mood if you are a liberal no more than I let the arrogance of liberals get me in a mood. Yes, she has an attitude. I think it is time those with conservative leanings get an attitude and stop allowing elitists liberals to run over us. I don't like her much but she is correct in what she wrote. It is liberals of both parties that are working daily to steal our rights from us. It is not those on the right that are doing it because we slam them if they try. The left almost never corrects their leaders when they are looking to take more of our rights. They just give them the "not right now speech". And we are only discussing our 2A rights on this forum. The leaders of the right have failed terribly on other issues but their only "sin" on 2A issues is not being pro-active in restoring our rights. Not good enough and we are all looking to pay the bill for allowing their ouster of power where the 2A is concerned.

I would ask for a moment of time from any liberal on one point. As much as you hate these conservative personalities I would challenge you to imagine if 99.9% of the "personalities" out there were doing the same thing daily and being praised for doing so. That is what conservatives deal with. So, concerns about one or two loud-mouths on the right really don't mean much to me. I hear and read it all the time from the left and have just simply learned to let it go. Please, pay attention to what liberals are saying and you will see the majority of personal attacks come not only from no-power personalities in the media but from elected officials as well. I don't see that happening from those on the right much. That is a big difference to me. Rush and Ann can only give opinions. Barney and Nancy have the power and they do as bad or worse daily almost. So, please, look at both sides and you will see a clear contrast between liberal leaders and conservative leaders. That is just my opinion.

[TruckingDeals]

I love Ann Coulter.

It's liberals I can't stand.

What a stupid liberal thinks about Ann Coulter and/or guns is not important.

And yes, to be a liberal is stupid.

And that was said with a straight face after the last 8 years.

Absolutly Purple,

As I posted we are discussing gun related issues only. I stand by the statement as fact.

Thanks shootthesheet. The guidelines for this forum state the political discussions must be about gun related issues. Straying from that violates the rules.

[Muhr]

Interesting location to note that if you say something pro 2A it won't be the validity of what you say, they will just go after the method you use to say it.

Was it... NO! she is dead wrong, this is the truth. ???????
No it's.... she made fun of the left, that's classless, BURN HER!

In that case, I stand corrected.
