Gun control debate (merged)

.... Said my name, and I turned around and he had it in my face....

he called u joedawg?

 

[Mick]

Sure. But unlike you and other buttercups, my fear was with the person holding the gun, not the gun itself.

Sure.

I've got to go and pick up my wife in Atlanta at midnight. She is riding back from Cape San Blas tonight with my daughters.
I have no gun so I guess my nunchucks and Japanese throwing stars will have to suffice.

Don't perforate anybody with those stars

It's not the speed of the draw, it's the accuracy of the bullet.

There's certainly wisdom in the quote "Fast is fine but accuracy's final." by Wyatt Earp but he also said "You need to take your time in a hurry."

If you don't hit your target speed is wasted but assuming your opponent is going to just give you all the time you want could be a fatal assumption.

I would've set him on fire for that!

I made it through all the rioting, looting, and burning without even having to throw any of my ninja stars.

What a wall of voodoo. (bonus points for anyone that had Mexican Radio start playing in their head) It's a waste of time with you at this point so I'm leaving with this:

Believe what you want. Every time you use the phrase "personal truth" you deserve to be savagely mocked.

Mine started playing Godsmack

Good thing. Most everything you throw here ends up circling around and hitting you in the butt.

 

[Rickyvol77]

I prefer the fluid interpretation angle. Well regulated being rational and reasonable.
Don't worry, it will not happen soon. We still have a lot of needless bloodshed to endure.

No it won’t lol. No one is going around taking guns away and if you believe that you are a moron

There are millions of people stockpiling guns and ammo at inflated prices and some inconvenience right now. Does anyone really think they're doing that with the intention of giving it all up in a government buyback next year, or even paying an NFA tax on their stuff? A lot of these people, maybe most, are current or former military and/or LEOs. They're not going to attack a military base if SHTF and they're not going to bunker in their basements waiting for the local SWAT team to bust in the front door. So what is this all for, about? I read a lot of conflicting stuff and what one side calls evidence, another side calls a meme. Probably won't get any more of a straight answer here, but I am curious what people think about this.

Just a little over a hundred years ago, you had yourself, to protect, yourself, your family and loved ones, your land, your cabin, your food.

Life changed from the 1910's through the depression, and mostly after WWII.

The norm became cities, groceries, careers, going to college, making a "life" was different than it was 50 years previously.

We live in a country based on a faith and belief, in a system, whereby we have a monetary system that exists soley in the same faith and belief. When the faith and belief are shaken, or disrupted, so is the entire illusion, and reality, and self preservation kicks in.

The movie Margin Call had a great ending scene, and no matter the feelings Kevin Spacey's character had, he was reminded he has been doing it, and a part of it, all the time, and so to is the entirety of the outside world as they look down on NYC.

Jeremy Irons the CEO says: “It’s just money; it’s made up,” He tells Spacey’s character at one point, “Pieces of paper so we don’t have to kill each other just to get something to eat.”

Take away the faith and belief, the illusion, that exists as our country's simple make up, and, at the end, we are no different than we were in the late 1800's into the early 1900's.

In most parts of the country the local SWAT team isn't going to bust through a law abiding citizens door simply because they own guns and stockpiled ammo. They value their lives too.

Please explain.

I got my first(only) gun after Trump had won the election but before his inauguration.

I felt like he was crazy enough to pass bad gun laws. I havent felt that way about any of the others.

So unless you want to say a distrust of Trump is unreasonable and irrational I dont think that's an argument you want to make with me.

 

[luthervol]

Good thing. Most everything you throw here ends up circling around and hitting you in the butt.

I'm even more expert with my ninja stars than I am with my words.

so....novice???

 

[CagleMtnVol]

I have seen a few Trump adds here in GA over the past few days.
Every one of them has played completely on fear and division.

Or it's you know the truth that the country we have known for generations is being torn apart by the left and their extremist groups.

That you call them “ninja stars” would indicate otherwise.

 

[LouderVol]

I was thinking Diamon Dave style.

Three armed men broke into a gun enthusiast's home. The sheriff says he shot them one-by-one.
