The alternative is 300 million people firing round after round into the flesh and bone of their fellow citizens over "stuff"

Why don't you tell that to the GIRLS (note the plural) that beat up ONE (note the singular) girl at a HS in Delaware a few weeks ago. She ended up dead. Where is the fairness? Why not fight one on one?

Keep dreaming in that alternate world and I will live in the real world.
 
Your head is in a weird place.

I dont even care. Let us kill each other. Let the blood flow. Hail Satan. We are the most blood thirsty country on the planet... Gods country. lol.
 
I think its good that George Zimmerman comes back up every once in a while. I don't agree with everything he did, but he is the perfect example and lesson for gun owners who carry. You can try to do what you think is right, found legally not guilty, but can still get your life destroyed. It happens all too often but doesn't get much press.

Being aware of all this, I am a much meeker person when I'm carrying and since I carry almost constantly, I have become much more forgiving. Right or wrong, it isn't worth destroying my life over what I think is someone being a dick/douche. Drawing that gun is only to defend the life of myself or someone I love.

I am speaking of the facts in the real world while you are dreaming about "fair fights", "proportional force" in that alternative world of yours.

Who is in the weird place again?

So this:

That is advocating for less gun violence is the same as hawking a murder weapon to the highest bidder?

😀

You guys are fucking idiots. lmao.

Funny how that website says nothing about not smashing people heads on concrete? Nothing about NOT acting like a punk ass that thinks he is such a bad ass motherf**? Nothing about how to behave like a civil person?

Color me shock. NOT!!!

The paranoia that you must carry deadly force with you in this modern world or else you will die. Thats weird.
 
I'm almost 50 and I can tell you the stats for me.

Number of kills in self defense (or any capacity): Zero
Number of fights been in: One
Times I've prevented a death or even a crime with a gun: Zero

I've been in over 100 fights and am still alive. Most of my friends have been in a ton of fights and none have even been serious injured. While something bad could happen, me driving on the 405's more dangerous than me getting into a fist fight.

I think you guys need a lesson in statistics. This is a combination of confirmation bias and the simple fact that the only reason you are here posting in this thread is because you didn't get killed in a fight. Obviously a poll of living people is going to result in a 0% death rate. :thumbsup:

Regardless of the chance, it's not one I am willing to take, nor should anyone. 1/10000 chance of dying in a street fight? Not worth it. I will shoot and kill before I face those odds- it's still Russian roulette, the only difference is the odds.
 
Please expand on that. My opinion is 2 people having a fist fight shouldnt turn into a gun fight. Look at shortylickens. Got all weirdo creepy in the local hooters and some dude confronted him about it and shorty took a shot at him. Luckily missing him. Its the same shitty dumb ideas that bubble up around here.

All those examples are far beyond a fist fight.

What about when one person has no desire to fight at all and is being brutally beaten?

Good to know.

I'm a wimp. Do I let the bully beat me?
 
wimps shouldnt be creeping around playing cops.

A cop wouldn't hesitate for a second before shooting an attacker.

So lets follow your logic

1. use a gun and you are a wimp
2. sneak around like a cop and you shouldn't act like a wimp
3. but cops do use their guns if attacked, making 1 and 2 above false
 
Uhh, how is that bull? That was evidence that was presented in court. He was told to carry a gun in addition to pepper spray because of a pit-bull in the area.

Worked out great for him too didn't it?
Without a doubt! The travesty was the media's false portrayal of the events.

I mean, if he had just stayed home instead of playing cops and robbers he probably would be much better off today.
Great advice.

"There's escalating crime in your neighborhood and police are unable to respond quickly enough to deal with it? Fuck neighborhood watch! Just stay inside and let it happen. Fuck your neighbors. Fuck your community. Fuck peace, order, and harmony." -TM (speaking on behalf of brutal thugs everywhere, regardless of ethnicity)
 
Oh he wasnt "on duty"?

I guess in JSt0rm's fantasy world, criminals only attack you while you are "on duty".

While in the real world, TM case being a fine example, punk criminals can and will attack you at any time. If you need to carry a gun for protection, it would be silly to only carry it some of the time.
