All Hail the Second Amendment

Hell, even if you have a gun, the best bet for defending your home with it...is to leave the bullets in your pocket, Andy, and give him a buttstroke to the mouth. Promise, you'll have all the time in the world to call the cops after one good hit. The only time it's even -remotely- safe to shoot an intruder...is when he's already laying on his face with his arms stretched out - though I get that it would be difficult to explain that to the cops (if you get the chance...after all, when they show up and see a guy with gun..........).
(for those psychotics who think that a baseball bat isn't menacing or effective - enough-....go get a hatchet for all I care, see what happens when a burglar finds himself in an unfamiliar home with a naked lunatic waving a hatchet at his neck. Get your hands wet, if you just have-to-have that penetrative fix.)
I used to keep a sword by my bed but my wife kept bitching about how it looked so I had to put it up.
Fuck it, I'm going to get that thing back out.

Hey, if it makes you feel safer, I say go for it. At least you won't be on the news for plinking some girl scout in your neighbors house with a Deagle.
I'd just let the fucker take whatever he wanted, stealing from me is, essentially, just a dangerous form of -practice-. Guy runs the risk of getting mugged himself, moment he steps into my hovel....I got mouths ta feed, I'm morally flexible, I have increasingly shallow pockets and many, many shovels for digging deep holes. Shit, I'm the right shade of lipstick too...living in Redneck USA.....5.0 would probably high-5 me.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

I have a pump shotgun under the bed filled with rocksalt. I figure one pump and the intruder is gone without firing a shot.

There's actually some pretty good science behind that....it's a terrifying sound...if only to those who recognize it. Could just have a recording of the pump though, eh?...and a baseball bat..or hatchet. 
Rock salt shot -is- pretty sweet though (I prefer 20g sabot slugs, pew pew).

That would require me to get too close.

Why should it? Gun nuts have never been too bothered by people being killed with guns in the past, so why change now?
Also, it was black people who died, so what do they care?
Now, if black people started collecting guns and carrying them everywhere, then we might see a change on how they view gun control laws.

Quote:South Carolina lawmakers want to expand gun rights
“It’s not the gun’s fault; it’s never the gun’s fault,” Corbin told the Charleston Post and Courier in a January interview. “It’s the person. But everybody wants to come down on the gun, and I’ve never thought that was right.”
^ I hate this argument, it's not like people want to punish the poor guns after shootings, we're all in agreement that maniacs are the problem - some of us just think that there'd be less murder if said maniacs didn't have such easy access to guns. It's such a stupid argument to make, I can't believe this guy is a senator ffs
“The larger the group, the more toxic, the more of your beauty as an individual you have to surrender for the sake of group thought. And when you suspend your individual beauty you also give up a lot of your humanity. You will do things in the name of a group that you would never do on your own. Injuring, hurting, killing, drinking are all part of it, because you've lost your identity, because you now owe your allegiance to this thing that's bigger than you are and that controls you.” - George Carlin

Trouble with that, is that our system generally has to wait until someone has done something maniacal in order to impose restrictions. We don't impose those same restrictions on the people who were standing in their immediate vicinity, nor do we impose those restrictions on every person in the country, again....even though there plainly -are- maniacs among us.
The reason that some of these cocksuckers can keep their bullshit argument alive is that, at it's core, there's a legitimate issue that due to being championed most vocally by nutbags...is being completely driven over. That doesn't mean they aren't cocksuckers, and it doesn't mean they haven't spun that out to proportions entirely divorced from reality. I -agree- that our gun laws should be more effective and better designed precisely -because- I am pro gun rights. We -shouldn't- be coming down on guns (and lets not pretend that we don't..we target specific firearms, like ar-15s, for example..not because of their prevalence in crime...but for some other, wholly unsubstantiated reason - bold faced...pandering lies).....but...if coming down on guns is the only way to get the job done, in the end, that's what we're going to do. It's as if we're throwing in the towel on legislating this intelligently..before we've even tried something so simple as enforcing the laws that we -do- have....or addressing the factors contributing to -gun crime-, which is distinct from -gun ownership-.......and setting fire to the whole field in frustration.
As far as the senator, specifically, broken clocks.
