Firearms. Yea or Nay?

[sparks19]

One of the proper uses of firearms, self protection. Im glad the local PD feel the same way.

Me too. But interesting that no one else has responded.

Honestly I was waiting for someone to say that she shouldn't have killed him, that she should have called the police or something.

GOOD FOR HER. this is why the right to bare arms is important... the right to PROTECT YOURSELF AND YOUR FAMILY. but some people fail to see that point because OTHERS die at the hands of criminals who don't care about gun control and laws.

But even if it means I will go to jail... I WILL protect my daughters life from the scum of the earth. I will do WHATEVER it takes. I may succeed... I may fail... but I will do my very best to ensure her safety. Are you going to take that away from me? If someone starts a thread saying that a predator came into their home and murdered their child because they couldn't defend themselves and the police didn't get there in time... will there be a thread full of OUTRAGE?

Are you serious Sparky? You expect as much response to a criminal being shot as to a child being shot?

Oooookay.

Absolutely, ES, where's the righteous indignation about guns?

After all, a life is a life, right?

Comments from Bobby Knight, former college coach in men's basketball.

1988 — In an NBC interview with Connie Chung, who asked how he handles stress, Knight says: "I think that if rape is inevitable, relax and enjoy it." He explains he was talking about something beyond one's control, not the act of rape..

Or, you can pull out a gun and shoot the jerk. I think that shooting the moron saved me some tax dollars. I like it when the public gets involved with the fiscal matters of government.

i'm on the bandwagon that guns don't kill people - PEOPLE pull the trigger- and kill people. I don't own a gun tho.

Doll,

Unless you smack the shiat outta someone with a gun.........Bullets do the killing!

[shais_mom]

but unless the trigger is pulled that bullet isn't going to kill anyone
altho notice I didn't say a PERSON pulling the trigger this time b/c even a monkey can pull a trigger.
and no that isn't a racial remark

You are so cute when you put words in my mouth LH! Of course, that is easier than say...producing these statistics you talk about!

[Lady's Human]

No, not putting words in your mouth, ES, I'm not going to take over your job.

You seem to do quite well putting words in other people's mouths, PT needs only one expert in that regard.

Once again, the statistics about firearms used in self defense are readily available.

Google, anyone? Again, I see no need to search fr a topic for someone when google will bring up plenty of intormation with a few keystrokes

Of course, if you actually did the search, you'd be one less thing to carp about, so heaven forbid you actually took it upon ourself to search.

50 million innocent people were killed today with firearms. Heck, now I understand how you do it!

(You are flailing and flinging now LH...)

[Lady's Human]

ES, again.

google "lott study" or "Lott report" or "Lott firearms study"

It's not that tough.

Or maybe it is?

They're not invisible statistics. It's willful ignorance on your part.
