Let's talk about guns

[Iridescence]

I am most certain that any aggressive intruder who enters my home with obvious intent to do harm would rather I, the woman of the home, have a loaded and cocked gun than my preferred choice of weaponry, my sunshine yellow handled pick ax.

Here's an example of left wing gun hypocrisy: nobody was a more anti-gun politician than Edward (Teddy) Kennedy. He made no bones about wanting to disarm America but he made sure his own (civilian) bodyguard was well armed. It just so happens that Kennedy's bodyguard was arrested for trying to enter the Senate building armed with two fully automatic weapons and a couple of handguns.The charges were quietly taken care of by a friendly judge. The dirty little secret is that the elite left wants everyone disarmed but themselves.

Pro . with them I can defend my family

Con. Without them fascist progressives make slaves of my family....

I am not weak and ruled by fear of one crazy sick **** who wanted to be famous....Thats what the death penalty is for.

And here are the two crazy reasons gun fetishists give for why they just have to have guns.

First, a gun in your home is 43 times more likely to kill a family member than a bad guy.

Second, if the day ever comes when the government comes for you and your guns, it will be because your neighbors have concluded you were a scary individual that they didn't want to live next to.

Very good points. This is why the mentality of our people needs to be better adjusted.

A constitution and a right to bear arms are how ordinary people try to guard against infringement of their rights and liberties. Obama can ignore the constitution but he cannot ignore 100 million well-armed Americans.

The day they come for your guns, your neighbors will be cheering because you frightened their children.

Guns don't kill people. Idiots with guns kill people. If suddenly there was a rash of murders all committed with hammers, would you want to ban all hammers?

An idiot with a limited number of guns that don't fire as many rounds will kill less than an idiot with a limitless number of guns that fire a limitless number of rounds.

That is pretty basic logic.

The right to bear arms means that you have the right to defend yourself if you're attacked.

Do you really need 100 round drums (like the Batman Massacre), or 31 bullets per mag. (as per Jared Laughtner)?

If you can't kill your target in 15 shots or less for self defense, you deserve to die.

Um, well, now see, I cannot "thank" your post because of the last sentence........ must you have added it?

Bullshit stats. No evidence supports your stats.

Die free or live a slave....We can see you want to be a slave.

 

[RoadVirus]

IF the presence of a well armed civilian population was going to prevent gun crimes, the USA would ALREADY be one of the most law abiding places in the world.

Is it?

It depends on certain segments of the population.

Other than a study by a respected scholar named Kellerman, you mean. Which was repeated in several cities and got the same result?

I don't worry about the government. I worry about some nutbag who was able to get a deadly device because some idiot told him it was his right to do so.

That means not only do you want to be a slave but you are a ******* retard to boot.

My gun has zero chances of killing a family member.

The real gun statistics.

Gun Control Misperceptions
Handguns are 43 times more likely to kill a member of your own family than an intruder.

The study by Arthur Kellermann from which that statistic is pulled doesn't say that. The number includes suicides. The study doesn't take into account defensive uses in which a shot was not fired (99% of the uses), and it doesn't reflect intruders avoiding homes with firearms inside.

Your gun is more likely to kill you or someone you love than an intruder.

Less than one percent of defensive gun uses results in a kill (see Gary Kleck's book "Point Blank: Guns and Violence in America). According to the National Institute of Justice's report "Guns in America: National Survey on Private Ownership and Use of Firearms", guns are used over 1.5 million times a year in self defense. With tens of thousands of gun deaths a year, that means that firearms are used 40 times more often for protection than for murder.

No gun control would have stopped the insane, like Jared Loughner or Jim Holmes from killing people. They would just use something else, build a few bombs, get even more victims. Use a knife. There is no form of gun control that can protect against the randomly insane.

IMO the Secret Service should monitor message boards and obtain a warrant to investigate morons like GodSaveAmerica.

Nazi had people who would turn people in to the government too....So did the Soviet union and every other socialist/communist government....Amazing how Fascist you on the left turn out to be.

 

[Gremlin-USA]

I had an argument with a friend about guns he said we need to get rid of guns in the USA and be safer like his relatives in the UK

I reminded him about this:

A gunman killed at least 12 people in a rampage through quiet towns in and around the scenic Lake District of northwest England on Wednesday in Britain's worst shooting spree for 14 years.

Taxi driver kills 12 in U.K. rampage - The Globe and Mail

Gun Laws are for the law abiding person.

Criminals and Fruit-Loops can always get a gun.
