anti-gun comeback line thread

[denton]

There was a case a few years ago of a 70 year old woman whose home was invaded by two men. She ran down the hall to her bedroom, to retrieve her 38 Special. As she passed the study, she noticed her husband's 44 Magnum lying on the table with a full speed loader nearby. She scooped up the gun, loaded it, and faced her intruders. The first made a lunge for her, and she put three rounds into his center of mass. The second started to draw a knife, and said, "Now, bitch, you're going to die." Mistaking his submissive and contrite statement for a threat against her life, she put the remaining three rounds into his chest. Both were DRT.

So let me be clear. If you're talking about restricting firearms, making them less available, you're talking about restricting that 70 year old woman's right and ability to defend herself.

That's a weighty responsibility, yet you seem very eager to accept it.

Our Founders knew the risks and the benefits of giving us the ability to defend ourselves. They chose to give us the Second Amendment. If you want to argue that that's bad policy, you're a little over 200 years late to the meeting where it was decided.

I'm Australian , i've heard all the lies about gun control and lived through the facts twice , first in the Uk where i was based for a while while in the Australian army then later at home , i lived through the warrentless searches and the locking up of good people because they where left a gun in a will but had no permit , i've seen the liberals cry with joy when a gun owner was jailed for refusing to hand over a $13,000 gun for $100 , and then watched the state sell that gun for $10,000 to a collector who did not have a licence but did donate money to political parties ( leftists ones)

I have seen good people shot in the back by police for walking away from them

i have seen the police resign when they see the truth in the states actions and them be replaced with crooks and thives as only crooks would do what was needed to get rid of the guns , that lead to 10 years of absolute corruption within the police and criminals having free reign and a new crime be born , home invasion , and watched the government take 10 years to define what a home invasion is , but are yet to make it illegal , but it is illegal to defend yourself against these invaders

tell the lies to someone who has a chance to beleive you

i know what gun control is

its evil and a tool of those who wish to oppress us all,

and its why i have spent 16 years and my life savings fighting it all here

and we are winning , slowly ,

the best one is want gun free move to Australia where they banned all the guns

move to lakemba its a great place and cheap

see how long they last in what the locals call little gaza

Guys, the prohibitionist comment was in jest.

I'm sure, but there really are people out there who think the government knows best and that people can't be trusted with 32 oz sodas, alcohol, marijuana, and dang sure not firearms.

I refer to them as 'nanny-staters', and there's really no point in arguing 2A rights with them. You'd first have to convince them of the whole 'the government works for us' and 'we're not children & the government isn't the parent' first.

Really? Since there are an estimated 300 million guns in the US, and billions of rounds are sold and used each year, shouldn't the population be pretty well wiped out by now, if killing is the only use for them

a very good point^^^

I prefer the following quote;

"If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen." ~ Samuel Adams

old bear, its fairly easy to distinguish between an anti gun rights person and one who just hasnt been told the truth yet. conduct yourself accordingly but refuse to walk on egg shells.

Jerry, I agree with you totally, but I still believe that we NEED to remember to conduct ourselves like the Ladies and gentlemen we are, specially now.

Happy new Years...

Thanks for that, mate. I worked with an Aussie that stayed here in America and took all his vacation at once to go home once a year. I'll never forget him always saying that'd never happen in Australia, whenever we were fighting another anti-gun bill from the likes of Schumer and Fienstein. All of a sudden it happened-way worse than it ever happened in America. He was appalled at the speed his beloved guns became death machines to be destroyed at the whim of a few.

Everybody should have to use the same public swimming pool, after all, it is elitist to have a privately owned means of swimming and something that dangerous should be supervised closely by the State with "certified lifeguards"--- wait a minute, Connecticut has had four recent deaths in public school physical education classes, maybe my pool isn't so dangerous after all.

Yep, I really appreciate Costas-Gregory-types trying to get my 2a rights abolished while making a fortune for themselves exploiting and cowering behind the 1st amendment.

Good Luck to the Unarmed, and I hope you get to help with the paperwork
