For the record, no one is back tracking, "Guns do not protect". You know if I took the time I could easily find 101 threads that support my statement. You have stated you disagree and why. I feel we should move on, unless you're going to hold a gun on me or something.

RELATIVE WITH GUN SAVES 10 YEAR OLD BOY.

Mountain lion attacks boy

PHOENIX (AP) - A rabid mountain lion attacked a 10-year-old boy north of Phoenix, scratching the child before being shot to death, a game official said Monday.

The boy from El Mirage, Ariz., suffered scratches on his back but wasn't seriously injured during Saturday's attack in a sparsely populated area in the Tonto National Forest, said Randy Babb, a biologist with the Arizona Department of Game and Fish. But the boy will have to undergo a series of shots after being exposed to rabies, Babb said. Game officials are also recommending the shots for other people who touched the lion.

Babb said the attack occurred while the boy and his family were taking a break from riding all-terrain vehicles. The mountain lion walked in among the group and clawed the boy. It also tried to bite him but didn't, he said. A member of the group shot the lion twice, killing it, Babb said. He didn't know what kind of weapon was used.

Babb said it's not common to find rabies in large animals like mountain lions. The Arizona Department of Health Services said Monday that it has confirmed rabies in 14 animals so far this year.

Yes, you are.  And STILL, not ONCE have you backed up ANY of your hogwash.  Right now, you're upset because I've made you look like a fool--and not just with sound argument, but with facts and sources.  But don't be mad at me...You know what they say: the truth hurts.

Then put up or shut up.  In the meantime, here's some more from the side of truth:

I have offered up research from the government, educational institutions and professional institutions, as well as given a couple dozen real world examples (I can still give more if anyone likes).  I'd REALLY like to see you top that and prove your side, and I'm sure I'm not the only who'd enjoy seeing you try.

Of course you do.  You've been weighed, measured and found wanting.  You have been beaten fairly and squarely in argument, and rather than admit defeat and apologize for being silly and offensive after having insulted millions of people including myself and my wife who have been saved with a firearm, you'd rather keep your head buried in the sand instead of face reality; you'd rather hold on to your unfounded opinion, cry and tell everyone to "move on."  Yeah right.  When has that ever worked in the real world, Buddy? 

YOU started this argument, now you either finish it by backing your side up, or admitting that you were wrong...But do NOT tell anyone to "move on" because you can't hack it.  Additionally, I'd like to see a "thank you" for the education you've received, and an apology for being offensive to millions of honest people who owe their lives to guns, but I don't think you're man enough for either let alone both.

Oh yes, very mature.  You are truly an intellectual giant, Sir.

lawdog...all your intellectual replies and examples and links to support you are being lost on the fact that your turning this into some war on an opinion and becoming somewhat of a pain about it. Don't be mad tho ok.
