Rep Power: 59 | | | Hypothetical situation
You're a burglar scoping out a neighborhood, trying to find a house to rob.
From down the road, you spot two houses that you decide are both equally the best potential targets on the block.
As you get closer, you notice that one house has an F350 and a Suburban in the driveway, both with NRA stickers. The F350 also has a rifle rack.
The other house has a Prius in the driveway, covered in bumper stickers: Brady Campaign, Violence Policy Center, Save the Whales, Obama2008, etc, etc, etc.
Which house do you burglarize, and why?

Two reasons...first they have something I know I can sell easily...guns.
Secondly, I don't want those guys on my flank while I'm stealing the hippies' berkenstocks. |

Rep Power: 59 | | | You can't sell Birks when you're full of lead.
But maybe some USMBers would make a thread here decrying the homeowner who busted a cap in your ass to protect his family. Of course, given that gun owners teach their children to be more independent than anti-gunners do theirs, it may have been his 7-year-old daughter who glocked your ass.
