Bryan Miller exclaims: You can't make this stuff up!.

Bryan, we don't have to make stuff up, but you do.

You'll see that pro-gunners place much of the blame for Westroads Mall and other mass shootings, including the Virginia Tech gun massacre, on so-called 'gun free zones.'

"So called"? That's what the signs say. Signs that are allowed by law. We didn't make that up.

It's extremely difficult to gain a license to carry concealed in the Garden State, so we don't have testosterone-challenged bozos legally packing heat at the mall. Whew!

I know a lot of women who would take exception to your statement. Then again, compared to you, they may be carrying higher levels of testosterone. Whew!

For pro-gunners it's about arming everyone to the teeth.

Liar. You made that up.

I, sadly, have a little more experience with overwhelming firepower than do the pro-gunners seeking to rationalize their petty personal fears and desires by pretending that they're seeking to defend the rest of us. My only brother, FBI Special Agent Mike Miller, was one of three law enforcement officers killed (a fourth was grievously wounded) by a lone gunman wielding a concealed assault pistol at Washington, DC Metropolitan Police Headquarters in November 1994.

Quite possibly the only true thing you've ever written about guns. I'm sorry for your loss. I'm sorry any time we lose good people to bad ones.

But

What's a concealed assault pistol? No such thing, liar. You made that up, too.

So, rather than blaming those who would hope to reduce gun violence by seeking to limit the presence of lethal weapons in public, we should applaud and encourage them. We should also enact a meaningful federal Assault Weapons Ban (unlike the AWB that expired in '04, which gun manufacturers figured out how to get around in no time), similar to New Jersey's state ban, that would actually ban the sale and possession of these outrageous weapons. The secret to societal safety is not more firepower in civilian hands. Quite the opposite.

I'll consider supporting a ban if you can tell me, without equivication, what an "assault weapon" is. You'll also have to provide proof as to the effectiveness of such a ban.

Of course, you'll have to do this without making anything up.

(BTW: I urge readers to check out some of the 'you can't make this up' nuttiness that will undoubtedly appear in the Comments section below and has followed each of my earlier entries. Craaaazy!)

You sure do use the word "crazy" a lot. You have facts presented to you, but you refuse to accept them. You belittle anyone who disagrees with you. Is that not crazy? Pro-gun people come to your site, hoping to shed some light on your stupidity. They stay above the fray, calmly pointing out your many inaccuracies, but it's wasted time.

Me? I'm done with that. You call names, get all over-the-top and I'll do the same, liar. I'm not afraid to sink to your level rhetorically. The one thing I won't do is lie, because I don't have to.

You go ahead and get all Carolyn McCarthy on us, I don't care. You honor no one with your antics. Or your lies.
