French keep safe with gun control

[MTMilitiaman]

Point taken Boogyman. Perhaps it comes across differently than I intended it. I am not anxious to shoot anyone. But at the same time, I don't feel a lot of compansion for those who feel it necessary to throw a temper tantrum at the expense of the rest of society. The anti-gunners aren't likely to agree with a lot of what I say. And while many of them might try to sympathize with the rioters and blame it on society or what not, I am far less willing to sympathize with them until they drop the fire bombs and stop behaving like 3 year-olds. Then we can discuss grievances as adults in a civilized society. Until then, all bravado aside, my primary concern is protecting myself and my family from their immature foolishness and pathetic, unresponsible antics. Everything else, including who or whatever pissed them off is a very distant second.

I can't say I wouldn't feel any remorse or that it wouldn't change me, and without ever being put in such a situation I can't say for sure, but I just doubt I would lose too much sleep over it. Maybe I am wrong. I hope I never find out.

When they helped us, it was before they took some major hits. Thousands killed in the French Revolution, Napoleonic wars, little wars of the 19th Century, millions killed in WWI, probably thousands killed in WWII, Viet Nam, Algeria. Those left are the draft dodgers and physically unfit.

Please, I would love to hear your theories of French eugenics. Were the survivors somehow genetically deficient? Wait, how does genetics work again? Oh, lord!

Understood. Thank you.

Not sure who "they" are, is this a generalisation?
my primary concern is protecting myself and my family
You should see my "armory" and "ammo depot" in the basement

First of all, putting another human being in your sights and actually pulling that trigger for the 1st time is a hell of a lot harder than people think, even when they are shooting at you.When someone talks about it as if it's like lighting a cigarette they have no idea what they are saying.
Secondly, when you walk over and look down at your 1st kill, that moment will change you profoundly and stay with you the rest of your life. Mine was a 14-year-old kid with the back of his head missing (my bullet). I still lose sleep over it 35 years later.
I, too, hope you never have to experience that, I would'nt wish that on anyone.

Please explain.

Y'all can discuss the emotions of killing by PM. This thread has gone wandering, and it's nighty-bye time.
