I do not need them. My ford pick up truck kills enough to feed a family of four. and also every time I go shooting I increase the demand for ammo that creates more production of ammo and intern lowers the price of ammo for the hoodlums. Government will take care of me. Look at what a good job they are doing with the borders. Are the instructions on the ammo box still only in English or are they like other products sold in the States???

Obama is currently in his fifth year of campaigning and speechmaking, which is considerably easier than being president. All it takes is a good writer, a teleprompter, a few lies and the ability to cry “wolf” every month or so.

RIGHT! I don’t need your attitude thanks, I have one of my own!
You have to remember that in times of need when you only have seconds to act the police are minuets away. Having a gun either equals the field or lets you end the threat right then. I don’t need your attitude thanks, I have one of my own!

Or potentially escalate it. If you are going to pull a weapon on a perpetrator, you best be intended to use it, a scary thought in most situations, but you are calling someones bluff.
Edited: Read the book for your HSC (Handgun Safety Certificate) most of which should be common sense rules, but there are also some interesting points about when you can pull out your weapon and when to stand down, when you can shoot an intruder and when you cannot.
It's about 56 pages, and quite insightful. I purchased my shotgun for the mere purpose of trap shooting as a recreation, but it is a stopable weapon. I bought my .357 magnum, because of it's beauty, value & handling also as a recreation weapon. But arguably, yeah, it could take an eye out. FOLLOW @BENSWEATHER NOW ON TWITTER!
I could never agree with you more on anything else...
The day I need a gun in BB to "defend myself" is the day I move! I did not know BB is inundated (sp?) with so many home invasion robberies.
My disdain for guns is a result of having one at my head and being hit with it several times during a robbery while I was an assistant manager at a Ralph's in the 1980's. BTW, this robber purchased the gun legally. I guess it was his "right" to bear arms and pistol whip others. The scarey part came later when this guy did end up shooting someone that did not do exactly as he requested.
Europeans don't understand some Americans thrills with toting guns and neither do I....
Sorry about your relative Ink. THat just happens more than people think. I think the fact that you are more likely to know the shooter of a gun at you than not speaks for itself. I guess the loudness of the guns has caused this to be heard by deaf ears....

France? Don't argue with an idiot; people watching may not be able to tell the difference.
Someone who thinks logically provides a nice contrast to the real world.

Everyone should own a catapult. Neighbor disputes would be so much more entertaining, and door-to-door salesmen could be dispatched in a very satisfying fashion (if the catapult was positioned just right).
Just overheard my 7 year old grandson singing "The Grand Old Flag". "Should all the planktons be forgot, keep your eye on the Grand Old Flag". How cute is that?
Also - watch your step. It is baby rattler season. Where there is one, there are probably 10-20 more. Saw a one-button baby - very pretty - that came from the north end of Mt. Doble/Gold Mountain.
