Adam Kokesh and Tisha Casida in Gypsum, Colorado
Tisha Casida is an independent candidate for U.S. House in Colorado’s 3rd district
Former Mayor Bloomberg passionately pleaded for mayors, moms, and millions of Americans to join his crusade – and that the number of deaths caused by guns and suicide from “illegal” guns was over 30,000 a year.
In 2012, there were approximately 34,080 deaths from motor vehicle accidents.
In 2010, there were approximately 38,329 deaths from drug overdoses.
In 2012, there were approximately 1,638,910 deaths from cancer.
Guns aren’t the problem – bad people are the problem. Sickness and disease are the problem. Moms, daughters, and strong women – do not be fooled by this crusade against “guns”. Follow your heart, and your gut – who do YOU trust to protect you and your family?
Why do you call 911 if you are in danger? It is because “good guys” with guns will come to protect you (hopefully). Are you okay with dis-arming the police, sheriffs, and the military? If they can have guns – why can’t we, as responsible adults?
CRIMINALS ARE CRIMINALS because THEY DO NOT FOLLOW THE LAW. More gun laws – specifically at the federal level – will do NOTHING to stop crime – they will only make more crime possible against people who deserve the right to protect themselves and their family. More laws are designed to dis-arm people – because there are already thousands of laws for back-ground checks and other means to “protect” you from criminals getting guns if those aren’t working – NOTHING WILL.
I plead with you to research what happens to populations when they can’t protect themselves – and remember that the more laws there are – the more criminals we create out of the people who are committing no crime.

Your choice is your choice and yours alone. I don’t see either crime or tyranny as remote possibilities, having seen both in action all too many times but to each their own.
All this talk of protection: what do I need protection from? Crime is ridiculously low, no matter what your media would have you believe. The government does recklessly abuse its power, no question, but we’re a long way from being North Korea. I have no reason to own a gun.
Part of the reason I am a libertarian is because I believe in peace and nonviolence. I despise war, I detest violence. I think it’s terrible that our media promotes and showcases violent, unnatural acts of hate, yet censors (partly because of government edict) acts of natural love, nudity & sex.
Why should I want to own a weapon of violence, a weapon of war? I’d much rather nonviolent, peaceful resistance. I want to open hearts & change minds, not wage war. Freedom will be won at the ballot box, not at the barrel of a gun.
Whoever wants to own a gun should own one, provided they have the means to acquire one (or however many) without theft or fraud. And whoever owns a gun should be held responsible for any violations of other people’s life, liberty and property that they commit with that gun. If you don’t want to own a gun, don’t own a gun, and don’t be mad if people with guns fail to protect you should you need such protection. Well, you can be mad if you hire private bodyguards and they don’t do their job, but don’t be mad if your neighbors don’t volunteer to help you, and don’t be mad if the cops don’t show up – courts have ruled repeatedly that they have no obligation to protect regular citizens.
That said, I agree with Jed. He doesn’t want one; that’s his right.
If you want to get near something really dangerous, try getting in a car.
Hey, if you don’t want to debate your statements, don’t bring them up.
But I do appreciate you fighting to the death for me . . . armed with a spoon, a half pack of Chiclets and an unhealthy fear of firearms. 😉
LOL you expect me to debate a personal preference? Jesus. I don’t like guns. I will fight to the death for your right to own one. Get over it.
Jed, do you despise chainsaws, knives and kitchens as well? Those are all very dangerous things that don’t make us safer.
I understand where you are coming from.
I despise tight staircases. However, if people who are not bad staircase walkers want to use them, they have every right to.
Personally, I despise guns. I would never, ever own one. They’re dangerous, they do not make us safer, I don’t buy that myth for a second. However, if someone who is not a dangerous person wants to own one, they have every right to.
CLC, do you mean there are not many strong women, or that strong women are unpleasant?
Women aren’t responsible people?
The “strong women” cliche is overdone. Only responsible people should own guns.
