[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The people who keep passing laws and trying to ban guns don't seem to know much about the things they are trying to ban.  I love the people who say the AR in AR-15 stands for "Assault Rifle" (news flash, it stands for Armalite Rifle as in the company that developed it in the 50's) MD bans the M1-A1 in 308 but not the SCAR-20 in 308?  The SCAR-20 is a modern battle rifle, the M1-A1 was used in Korea and Viet Nam as the M-14.  [/quote]

And none of them belong in the home. They are weapons of war, came as tanks and hydrogen bombs.[/quote]

Right, because there is zero difference between a gun and a nuclear bomb.  :roll:

Seriously, come up with some new schtick, because I can’t even…..[/quote]

Come back when you shoot your kid coming in late.

That's one thing that will never happen in my house.[/quote]

Yes, because you will be tied up at gun point while your house is being robbed. Shoot your kid - what a dbag you are. Great argument argument. I’m getting my CCW after reading your post. [/quote]

Spite gun purchases. Do you always buy deadly weapons when you get emotional?

Reminds me of when gun owners go on a shopping spree right after a mass shooting. How many guns were sold after Sandy Hook or Vegas?

It is fascinating, this legend in their own mind thinking. They fancy themselves being good guys with a gun. (Spoiler: They are not).[/quote]

I’m definitely not a legend in my own mind. I’m 5’3” and weigh 118 lbs and I don’t want to be raped, strangled or maybe beaten to death by a man who could be twice my size and 3 or 4 times stronger than me. I don’t “[i]fancy myself[/i]” being able to physically resist or stop someone so much larger and stronger than me.

Serious question (assuming you’re also female) - do you think you could stop a man from attacking you? I can’t. If you think you can, what makes you believe that? Why are you so much more capable than I am? [/quote]

Do you think you can stop a man from taking your gun from you and using it on you?[/quote]

I actually do believe I can stop a man from taking my gun and using it on me. And in the unlikely event he’s able to get possession of my gun after being shot perhaps a dozen times, it will be empty by then. I suppose he might try and pistol whip me with it, but I suspect he’ll be too busy exsanguinating by that point. [/quote]

Well, let's hope you don't mistakenly shoot someone because you were afraid they were coming for you and you had a gun, but actually they were not coming for you. And let's also hope, if someone does come for you and you have your gun, that they don't take your gun from you and use it on you. And let's also hope that your gun isn't used by you or a loved one in an act of anger or despair. It's quite a needle to have to thread. Which is why I feel safer not having a gun. I don't like those odds.[/quote]

So you don’t buy a gun. OP buys a gun. Now everyone is happy. Seems simple enough. [/quote]

Everyone is not happy, though, because OP's gun endangers all of us, including those of us without guns.[/quote]

As it stands, the criminals in this city know that most of us are sitting ducks.

We have no stop and frisk and don't even pull over cars without license plates, so they can carry illegal and rob with impunity. There is ZERO effort to stop this from city leadership.

More people like OP will make the criminals think twice before they stick a gun in your face.
