Does this guy really need a gun? Really?

dec41971, you can't possibly be serious.
EVERY CITIZEN has the right to arm themselves however the heck they want to, that's what "shall not be infringed" means.
 
He, more than anyone else, needs a gun. I see a man with that much size discrepancy that I am planning on robbing and I'm going in more than armed. I'm hitting him in the back of the head with a tire iron. Don't know too many unarmed men I would worry about after I did that. He is a big guy, and because of that delinquents are going to try and hit him from behind, with a brick. That gun will still hit hard even after his arms have gone to jelly from getting a concussion.
 
Who thinks this dude needs a gun?
Outside of his reach, his powerful muscles are virtually useless.

Interesting that he says that what he does isn't meant to be a political statement, but is head of a political organization promoting open carry. The two aren't mutually exclusive, I understand, but the dichotomy is interesting.
 
Reel in the bait, dude.

I know at least three guys I who could hand him his butt on a plate. None of them weigh more that 160.
 
So, in your opinion this man does not deserve the right to defend himself

Nobody said that. I take the OP's link in the spirit intended - this guy looks like a rolling tank. And it's funny, but in most cases, the people I spot CCW in public tend to be guys like this. Maybe they just don't conceal well, but from a demographic perspective, I'm starting to gather the impression that your typical concealed weapon carrier is usually a big guy.
 
I think the bleeding heart libral woman in the video needs to be confronted by the business end of a pistol and maybe she'll change her views on guns.

Oh and as far as that dude needing a gun....NO..... he should have more than one gun.
 
That man could probably CC a LAR Grizzly or Desert Eagle. :D

Good on him, he was well spoken, polite, and came across very well.
 
Large size does not make you less of a target, but thats not the issue we are fighting. This "anti" in the video did not make referance to anyone's size. Just the stupid innane argument that more guns creates more violence. We were givin the right to posses guns by the fonders of the country because they knew there was a need for them. They weren't under the dellusion that now that we had won our freedom, with the ample use of guns, that we would no longer need them.
The simple invention of the gun, made it some thing that would be around as long as there are people. Just like the atom bomb. We may not have wanted the "wrong" people to have them, but they got them, so we keep them to try to keep them from using them against us.
I don't get how the antis think that taking guns aways from normal, civil people, will end gun violence. Are they going to get the criminals down the street to trun in their guns when I turn mine in? No.

So until there is some magic wand, or StarTrek scanner that can find every gun on earth, and stop people from making new ones, guns are going to be around. They will be used against the innocent. They will be used to commit crimes. Etc. There fore, I, and many thousands of others will be keeping our guns, and carrying them.
I'm 6ft, 270lbs, I have martial arts training, I can defend my self from most attackers. And since "I can" only "defend myself from most attackers" I will carry a gun with me to defend myself from attackers that I couldn't do other wise. and 95% of the time I don't carry to defend my self, I carry to defend my wife and kids.
 
Put this guy in gray or blue and he could be any big cop or sheriff on the streets today. Just being big don't let you off the hook. lots of Cops are big and littel bad guys go after them every day. Todays bad guys seam to go after just about anyone.
 
I love how they got a guy that looks like a wine-o to comment against carrying a firearms.

I was not implying in way shape or form that he should not have a right. I stated clearly I am a friendly here. Heck I have a CCW myself if that counts for anything. I was just pointing out the very obvious irony here. Let me try to pose this differently; Would you choose this guy to represent why we need to carry? I think that argument would be better presented by for example a weak looking female not the hulk. :D

Also I think 2A being such an emotional issue, some people are reading too much into my original statement. And I do still think his size is a very effective deterrent. How many guys this size have you seen reported to have been attacked by the usual suspects we are all concerned about here? :confused:

Forget assassins or professional zombies with a plan, your firearm probably won't do you much good with those as they will would use tactics that render you defenseless before they do the deed. But to be clear I do agree most everyone should have the right to arm themselves as they see fit, regardless of real need.

Education at its best... not

...

Got to love how the anti's twist the 2nd, in that, this man has the_Right and, fortunately, is supported by that States law/s.

What are we teaching our children..? That is a very good question considering - this is funny, but really sad/disturbing:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RkQ6XgXeNuY&feature=player_embedded

Just like grandpa, in times past, educations were on the basics, the foundations of what made this country great and its mistakes on the way..

And during Grandpa's days/time, kids ran around with toy guns, revolvers with snap caps and there were no accidental shootings of such.. kids at play, people freaking out at the noise or the kids "at play"

Today, paint the muzzles orange - kids are not allowed to play with others kids based on "guns are bad", etc., much like this woman's claims that guns lead to more violence even though I'd bet the farm good citizens like this man et. al. are the least of anyone's fears - as they go out each day and come home without actually flaunting their weapon or using it. Unless, of course, confronted by any criminal element that own stolen weapons that we all know, even if all guns were banned, the criminal element would still have them, know where and how to get them, no different than when Booze was banned - it still was around, speaking of which..

Booze causes 10 times the amount of deaths/damage than guns, each year, yet I'd bet she has her "happy times" like many others and, yet, she can't see the responsibly factor of limiting one's intake or taking a cab or having a designated driver that works "and fails" with many, far more than the gun-Rights society, in all, and yet having booze in the house, unlocked, unsupervised, let's many kids, their friends, come over and take a snip and then get this funny feeling to borrow the car and take a fast drive and we hear/read about the deadly aftermath after, daily on the news..

Not to mention "cell phones".. talking or texting while driving.. these cause more deaths and injury's than weapons, ban them. But no would be the cry - we need the in case of an "emergency" (ah, like one's gun maybe..?) or vital for business a/o communication/s, they save lives getting help, quickly, for someone (again, like a gun for SD..? ) This is true, IF used responsibly - the same fact that apply s to one's handgun for SD, but this must be a higher form of math that has been forgotten, obsolete, like Grandpa's back in the days of the basic's vs what (if anything) the kids, and seen adults on video, have been, and are being, taught today.. Progressive crap that is really working for the better of our society and our future.. not

At least the booze facts and cell phone abuses yearly numbers are "accurate" vs the deaths or injury's by guns is reported, in full, whether (civi or law enforcement) a legal, good, shoot, or death from one gang member/s to another, suicides (by choice) AD/ND, much like car accidents, etc., vs how the guns injury's/deaths are lumped in one big, much smaller pile than drunk-drivers/cell phone abusers.

Seems like what's good, fair, for the goose should be fair for the gander as well but, no, not in these very tunneled visioned, one-sided, short-sighted thinking well-wishers for the innocent to remain such.. by stripping the law abiding, legal, citizens and our Right.. "and shall not be infringed".. by going against what, and how, the 2nd is written, for and about, without a care about infringing on others Rights..

I am sorry if this comes off a bit confrontational to the OP, but really, does getting yourself in good shape mean they suddenly are bulletproof? That nobody will try to rob him? That a crackhead won't go after him? I had a friend in High school who was HUGE. I mean just ripped. he was the least violent person I have known but was always in fights. People would seek him out to start fights. It was freaky to behold but they would.

The implied assertion that someone with great muscle mass forfeits their right to bear arms, IS an anti-2A position. He is violating no laws, carrying a weapon for protection just like I do, and like many on this board do.

You are trolling yourself.

I like how the OP was having fun and you geniuses had to use it as a platform to thump your chest on 2A. Learn to take a joke.
 
I think this guy is an excellent example for people, both anti-gun and pro-gun. It shows that no matter who you are, or how big you are, the need for arms for personal defense applies to everyone (even that nitwit lady).

This is The High Road. We exist to support and further the RKBA, using intelligent dialog as our principal tool. The OP did nothing OTHER than imply that big guys DON'T NEED GUNS.

Not the best example of guy who needs a gun! Just thought it sounds odd him saying he needs it for protection ha ha. Sometimes you have to see the irony in life.

That is such an anti-RKBA meme that it should not come as any surprise that folk here might object to it.
 
I do think its a bit amusing, just because it is automatic, in my mind, to associate a larger guy with being able to handle a "bar fight" better. I don't by any stretch of the imagination think he shouldn't have a gun, but that doesn't make it funny. Kind of like one of Larry the Cable Guy's jokes: "Is it right to laugh at that kind of guy? No. [pause] Is it funny? Heck yeah!"

That said, recently in a combatives course I had the dubious pleasure of being demonstrate on for technique a smaller woman can use on a larger guy. In other words, using just her thumbs and a bit of her elbows, a 5 ft nothing instructor had me tapping out very quickly. Oh, and I am 6 ft, 160 pounds.

This site furthers nothing. It embodies the very reason RKBA is held back, close-mindedness. Maybe if you took off your blinders and got out of your little bubble you would realize it.

The only people you reach with this site is people already on your side. Showing you have little to no sense of humor does nothing to help your cause. If I was on the fence about gun ownership, this site would do nothing to sway me towards it.

Before you call me an "anti", which is the crutch of people here, look at my previous posts. Most of the posters here need to quit the rhetoric and bible thumping, it only turns people away.
 
And then they got too serious..

You are trolling yourself.

...

*plural - all or many of us who have already responded:

Well, I'm no genius, and I got the_joke part ( :D ) - saw it but, still, the question, in humor, was asked and the nice, serious, anti-gun lady speaking was all business, as was the gentleman expressing, quite well, his Right, nothing more.. or less, therefore:

So, who's really trolling for some feed back over and over..?
