If everybody at the airport had had machineguns and uzis and a couple of bazookas, then nobody would have died!

Slightly hyperbolated (that's a word now, OK?), that appears to be the thought process of MK. He cites two examples: a gunfight between two biker gangs in an airport, in which one person died, and a drive by shooting into someone's house.

MK's logic appears to be: the entire airport populace could have opened fire on the bikies, and no civilians would have died in the cross-fire.
There was enough time for the mother to grab her gun, run out into the street and fire it at the attackers, who would still be in the street and certainly wouldn't have already made their getaway.

I don't get it-if MK is such a big, tough, manly sorta man, why doesn't he defy teh leftist fash and build up his weapons supply in defiance of the law? If you're gonna accuse the left of being spineless pussies, it doesn't help if you're a spineless pussy.

A ghost town of a blog

Holy Cr*p. I've just realised that just over 2 months ago, on July 26, on my original blog (before dropping it in favour of a new email addi), I made my first post. Since then, 40 or so posts later, I've had...11 comments. 6 were between me and everybody's favourite Hannibal Lector-eqsue intellectual Iain Hall, and another was a test to make sure the comment system was working. Surely it's taken less time for other bloggers to gather a minor audience? Is there something I'm doing wrong? I'm no more boring then the wingnuts on A Wackjob's Habitat (at least I don't pick the same political opponents to blame), and certainly more philosophical. My blog isn't a total circle jerk like it is on every conservative blog in existence, or Commie Groupthinking like on progressive blogs. Just a classic Leftist, winging on how he isn't very popular. KG will be thrilled, I'm sure.
