So, you're for the 2nd, as long as it doesn't mean actually standing up for it.
Any wimp can right a check to the NRA.
Clearly you havent died for the RKBA just yet, tough guy.

I would have handed them over. Maybe I would've kept one hidden, but I wouldn't have shot at them.
I have two cousins and one very good friend in the service. Which makes me realize that even if he's confiscating my weapons, there's probably a kid about my age underneath the armor and fatigues with cousins and a best buddy of his own , both of which want to see that poor bastard again someday.
And when the whole mess is over, I'll get my guns back. They'll be returned to me. If I shoot that kid, I'm gonna die, because his buddies are gonna light me up like a dutch brothel, and they'd be right to. They came bearing me no ill will, threatening no violence, and for that I killed their friend? I hope to hell they'd shoot me.
And when it really comes down to it, from a tactical standpoint, this is just like a theft shoot/no-shoot situation. An armed thief wants my TV? Take it. My golf clubs? Take em'. Just don't hurt me or mine.
After all, what a sh*tty thing to kill a good man over.
I've been wondering all along if the aggression against Iraq isn't just a training exercise ...If you've seen raw footage of what our guys do in Iraq, trust me, you don't want to go up against that.
There was a law on the books in La. making it legal to confiscate guns during emergencies like the aftermath of Katrina.
The issue isn't just one of rights. It breaks down something like this:LowSci said:Is it really worth killing a man to hang onto your weapon for another week instead of just, you know, leaving and taking the damn guns with you?
the weapons that were confiscated were ordered to be returned to the owners.
If you reread a lot of what popped up during Katrina, it looks something like this for those who didn't leave before the storm hit:LowSci said:I understand that there is a need to be able to protect yourself from miscreants in such a situation, but why would it be a problem to couple that with your need to leave the disaster zone and take your guns along with you for protection, instead of simply camping out waiting for a shootout with cops or goons, whichever comes to you first?
