Blessed are the Peacemakers, and you’re one of them Ron.
What can you do? More and more Americans are carrying a gun in the car. An
ex-cop I know advises that if you have to use a gun on a youth, you
should leave the scene immediately, disposing of the wiped off gun as
soon as possible. Such a gun cannot, of course, be registered to you, but one bought privately (through the classifieds, for example.)

Nice catch!
Since Paul’s letter. FBI statistics:

Somehow you missed that the letter references self defense, not war.
If Smirks likes his non sequitur; he can keep his non sequitur.
Why’d you dispose the gun if you were legally to have the right to own it if it were self-defense?
Only under the assumption that the police might prosecute you anyway I suppose. It’s not like there’s no precedent there.
*or DA really
It is legal to own a gun, why’d I need to dispose of it? You’re trying to get me in trouble?
“It is legal to own a gun, why’d I need to dispose of it?”
If you assume for the moment that the police or DA may feel they are the only ones entitled to shoot someone(I know, a stretch) legally, regardless of the law…then why give them more evidence to potentially try to do such a thing?
You should be constantly on guard against any potential abuse of the law and not give them anything but your attorney’s phone number.
If it’s legal to own a gun, I would not want to dispose of it. The fact Dr. Paul allowed this to slip right on in, and no one catching it as a red flag, well it’s you who’d loose in the end.
How does someone lose by letting go of an unmarked gun that served its purpose? Seems like a potentially cheap stumbling block for those that might exercise jurisprudence in an excessive manner to me.
If it is legal for me to own a gun and use it to defend myself why would I want to get myself in trouble by disposing of the weapon in question?
Is disposing of a weapon illegal? Even further, if leaving it at the scene illegal?
I would not need to dispose of a weapon if I wanted to defend myself you idiot. The whole entire point to defend yourself is to keep your weapon and stand your ground. That piece of crap that Dr. Paul approved would have made any legal gun owner look guilty if the the DA pressed charges anyway.
“I would not need to dispose of a weapon if I wanted to defend myself you idiot.”
You are truly an idiot. I can’t read for you. Try again.
I’d not need to dispose of a weapon I legally owned for simply defending myself. You are the one who failed to describe me how legal that would be.
The worst you can come up with on Ron Paul is that he misspelled “yoof” in a 22 year old newsletter???
He totally ignores the peace message out of his hate for Ron Paul.
Let us not hear of Smirks decrying war any more, as agenda is more important to him.
And Dr. wRONg Paul, what about the idiots that decided to riot on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day in Berkeley, Missouri? Sorry, not EVERYONE is going to be peaceful during the holidays. How about those Islamic fanatics that blew up some Christian churches or planted bombs on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day?
You’re confusing civil unrest with war.
Yet wRONg Paul sides with those very same people that he demonized in his racist newsletters. Maybe he doesn’t believe in anything that he writes no matter how much he tries to reinvent himself.
Look, who knows if he’s dual, or as he claimed the letters were ghost written and he missed the comments in editing(or didn’t edit them as he should have), or whatever…but at the end of the day if he’s championing something that is a good position(like stopping unjust wars), then even if you dislike him(which you obviously do), you should at least acknowledge that he’s might be right on the topic even if you think he’s a dick and hate all his other positions.
You don’t say “I hate Ron Paul, so fuck his position on war too.” unless you’re a total moron.
The main editor of the newsletters was Ron Paul himself, even if he did allow others to write for him, it’d have all been approved by him. The funny fact that you Paulbots don’t seem to care about it shows what the establishment has in store for at least his son when he runs for President it’s going to make Steve Scalise look like a wimp compared to how the Pauls have been getting away with their association of white supremacists.
Oh for fucks sake, you just missed my whole point or you’re simply irrational.
If Satan himself condemned war I’d say “Well shit, that dick’s right”.
No it’s not, the fact you Paulbots are warped with the “True Believer” Syndrome shows you’d deny anything bad Dr. Paul said, even though it was proven it was approved by him in whatever manner.
It’s just like with Obama supporters, except they scream “racist”, while Paulbots scream “Liberty”.
Oh, you’re just a simple jackass. I thought there was going to be some meaningful dialogue beyond name calling.
Also, beyond that, I never “denied” he did or didn’t do anything. I’m focusing on his anti-war message.
You are obviously pro-war, so it bothers you.
So I am sure if Dick Cheney wrote these newsletters you’d be all obsessed about it like you are with the Project for the New American Century, however if PNAC were a “Liberty” orientated organization run by Dr. Paul with a racist newsletter you’d probably pass it right by.
PNAC? WTF are you talking about?
I did notice that you didn’t deny being pro-war though. So kudos to you for being honest.
No, you’re the one whom is not being honest, you can’t admit Dr. Paul said or promoted anything racist, but I bet you can cite all the bad examples Dick Cheney has. If these two characters were charged with murder, you’d whine and wail so much about Dr. Paul being innocent and Dick Cheney being guilty.
The Prince Of Peace, also whipped the Money Changers. Let’s keep that in mind. Great article Mr. Paul, I will be in support of your son..
Absolutely no firm evidence that this “truce” ever happened.
Terrific article and humane thoughts. No wonder the bad guys are constantly striving to malign Ron Paul.
