One of you uber gun control nuts is in for a very bad day sometime in the future when your home is invaded or car is jacked. Hopefully only you have to deal with the results of your short-sightedness and not your family or children.
Why? I wouldn't want to get into a shootout with a criminal for my car or anything in my home. My life isn't worth the risk. Material possessions are replaceable.
I grew up in Texas, so I've spend time shooting guns with hillbilly cousins. They, like you - are retarded. Yes because I say so. In 3 pages you've made no compelling or even entertaining argument for owning and purchasing a firearm. Not one. I'm a republican, so its not political. Its common sense. If you spent the time you spend shooting cans behind your shed on making money, you'd see it my way.
Because Americans/Colonials living in the 18th Century never had to deal with maurading Indian tribes, French trappers, robbers, murderers and the like? Amirite? It was an Anemone/Tyen rainbow forest fun land?
Not a man.
Low self-esteem sixteen year old girls are more plentiful than McDonald's restaurants. I'd just get more.
One's life doesn't strike me as particularly replaceable. You are welcome to go read up how many times invaders have just fucking killed the people in the house/car they are invading/jacking. Even when no resistence was offered.
Right, because its in my best interest to pull a gun on somebody stealing my car. Listen Batman, if someone is jacking your shit - you give it to them and file a claim with your insurance company and move on. I make enough money to buy another one. That is literally the dumbest argument "you people" make, and yet its the first one I hear every time this gets brought up. Keep it up.
I'll read that after I finish reading up on how all the wannabe commandos escalated situations and made them worse by using their guns. How about the concealed carry guy that tried to stop the dude from robbing a gas station but his aim was so meticulous he killed the clerk instead?
Yes handguns. Fortunately for the other part of your sentence we've got a right to bear arms, just like we have a right to free speech and freedom of religion. The Government doesn't get to restrict any of those rights (beyond some very, very circumscribed limits - such as no yelling "Fire" in a movie theatre).
People go all John Wayne and save their household all the time against armed intruders, just think of all the times its happened to one of your neighbors! I'm sure we all personally know dozens of individuals who have lived out this gun advocate fantasy scenario.
Well you're retarded and nobody gives a shit what you think.
That's not even remotely how the burden works here, retard. You're the one arguing for forcible government action in the lives of million of people who've never hurt anyone with a firearm on the basis that someone else might. You're going to have to do a lot better than pointing to some politically expedient tragedy and shouting (because, again, nobody gives a shit what you think).
I'd spend the time explaining how illogical this line of thinking is, but frankly I don't think you'd grasp what I was saying anyway. I'll cut to the chase: you're retarded.
