I will type this slowly because I know you can't read fast.
from a very unwelcome private message from vindi c:
listen up and listen up good

I do not care what you think of me or how you publically display it. My beliefs are my own and i respect others beliefs.
ontop of that, how is everyone clinging onto a colt under their jacket going to make this world a better, more friendly and peacful place?

Anything you have to say to me you can say in open forum.
Any further privates messages from you to me will be considered harassment!
wow u still dont understand this DO U - i'm going to clarify myself ONE LAST TIME.
I dont like the idea of using guns for self defense as they are too lethal - i see no need to kill the attacker when you could quite easily disarm them with MANY other methods.
No! It is YOU who do not understand.
There is NO less-than-lethal way for ONE person to "quite easily" protect themself from 5 or 6 much larger and stronger persons.
There is absolutely NO guaranteed less-than-lethal way for ANYONE to protect themself from another ARMED person.
Your martial arts "solution" is poppycock!
In order to use martial arts against me...
listen up here.. this next part is very very important...
In order to use martial arts agains me...
YOU HAVE TO TOUCH ME!
Guess what Sparky. My firearm is the ultimate personal REMOTE CONTROL.
When a strong man, fully armed, guards his own palace, his goods are in peace; but when one stronger than he assails him and overcomes him, he takes away his armor in which he trusted, and divides his spoil. He who is not with me is against me, and he who does not gather with me scatters. (Luke 11:21-23)
Until you shut your cake hole and open your mind you will never understand the concept of personal defense.
You can have your personal opinion, as unrational as it may be.
Here in America we all believe that you, even as a semi-pubescent teenager in far away OZ are entitled to have your own opinion. Just don't expect that for one nano-second that any of us will buy into it. And don't tell us to "LISTEN UP".
So you can continue to shoot all the trees your gun club will allow.
And you can continue to form opinions of firearms that you will never see other than on the TV or in books and cinema. And you can continue to dream of guns that you will never be allowed to shoot that we have sitting in our safes.
While we live out our dreams you may continue to live in your dream world.
Even if the other person is absolutely and completely WRONG, they've usually got a decently thought-out argument to back up their clueless posts. (M.Irwin TFL 07-12-2001)
