Well, unlike you, I wear pants in public. 

However, said public sexual assault will not gain you a gun to use in your nefarious rape scenarios.

And your knife in the back won't get you one either. I'll live long enough to pop a cap in your ass.

BINGO, ANYBODY CAN BE AMBUSHED

Knife or gun, if someone wants to ambush you you are far less likely to be able to reach your holstered firearm. If someone has knife to your back you are going to get hurt to some degree regardless if you have a gun. If they have a gun to your back you better either have a bullet proof vest on or you better be superman, because the person who AMBUSHED YOU is at the advantage, and if you flinch one bit, it is highly likely they will pull their trigger before you pull yours.

Yes you could stick your thumb in my ass, but unless I can see that it is just your thumb if you say you have a gun to my back, if I don't know you, I am going to assume you do. Because if I assume it is just your thumb and and it turns out you have gun, I'm dead.

See KUSA you are playing hero in your head, and that kind of delusional nonsense will get you needlessly hurt. TRAINING matters more than the weapon you face. Fight is tough talk. Training, the type of training cops and military take and use on a daily bases requires far more than mere good intent.

You fail to get the point. Nobody gets a gun off me. Your corpse coughs it up quietly. Bravo, you've made the country a little worse. (General gun-carrying "you".)

You guarantee that? You can't guarantee that. You are just an Internet Tough Guy.

PULL your head out of your ass for one fucking second. 

This comment on your part only reflects your INTENT on what you would like to happen. Surviving a stressful event isn't about your fucking intent, but TRAINING. 

Cops and Military have guns, but they DONT always fire in every situation. Your bullshit intent will get YOU hurt far more likely.

Cops also retreat when needed, they talk a suspect down and that happens far more than actually firing their weapons. Reality isn't Dirty Harry or John Wayne. I can tell you, if you applied to become a police officer, you'd wash out with your bullshit attitude. Survival isn't about defaulting to using a gun. 

Now if you meant what you said in the PM in the other website, stop your poor me crybaby "they are out to get me" and LISTEN, because taking us seriously will make you safer. 

YOUR rights are not the subject, your lack of pragmatism, and your delusional bullshit "tough guy" act will GET YOU HURT. The biggest thing that helps you survive a stressful situation is not your ego, not always fighting back, but looking for the path of least resistance and training, and none of that always requires armed conflict. 

You are a danger TO YOURSELF more than anyone else with this attitude. Your intent is only what you would like to happen, and in reality, intent doesn't mean shit.

I have carried a gun for many years and have never fired in a situation.

I don't default to the gun. It is a last resort tool. You carefully skip over the many times I've said that.

I apologized for acting rude to you. That has nothing to do with this subject.

Again, I always look for a way out of the situation.

My intent is to survive. If someone is stabbing me then I'm going to do whatever it takes to eliminate the threat.

"IN YOUR HEAD" doesn't mean shit when you now claim, which seems to be back peddling now, "I always look for a way out"...... WHERE? HOW? Because only TRAINING and constant upkeep of that training is what increases chances of surviving. Conflict as a default position and dreaming up a happy ending in your head DOES NOT COUNT. Reality doesn't give one shit about your good intent.

Hitting a target when not under stress means nothing. Survival when faced with real physical threat is far different and survival DOES NOT include fire first. If you don't face that, and you refuse to accept that, a gun will not help you.

WE ARE NOT TRYING TO TAKE ALL GUNS AWAY. We are saying your attitude SUCKS. A gun cannot think for you, a shoot first attitude is far more likely to get you hurt.

Brian,

For fucks sake man quit throwing that "we are not trying to take all your guns away comment" out in every post. That is a subject unto itself. Stay on one thing at a time. You are all over the place.

You absolutely have a straw man opinion of me. No matter what I say you twist it around and impose your opinion of my intent. You are a frustrating person to have a discussion with.

If you actually knew me, you would feel quite safe in my company as I don't act anything like you make me out to be.

THEN STOP FALSELY ACCUSING ANYONE WHO DISAGREES WITH YOU FROM WANTING TO BAN ALL GUNS.

You are the one who talks shit about what you think will happen. You have created in your head a utopia that does not exist. FOR YOUR OWN safety you need to pull your fucking head out of your ass.

There is another GUN OWNER IN THIS thread who AGREES WITH ME that your attitude SUCKS, so I am not even asking you to listen to me.

I hope for your sake you never post in the future about something stupid you did because "oops".

There is no "oops" or "intent" when it comes to a firearm. It only takes one mistake. 

I read what you post here and it smacks of narcissism and ego. Guns are objects, they are not your brain, how you think about them and your training matters, not your fucking intent.

All I have seen from you post after post is argument from emotion and intent. 

The ones who brag constantly about "If this, then I'd" are the ones who are far more likely to hurt themselves. FOR YOU not me BUT YOU, you really need to ditch your fucking dreamy eyed John Wayne bullshit. Guns should always be assumed to be loaded, and always assume they can hurt you and kill you. I am not saying be paranoid, but with guns if you are not assuming the worst, you are going to set yourself up to get mentally lazy and it only takes one mistake.

The "they're trying to take your guns away"meme is central to the NRA, and by that proxy the gun industry, campaign of FUD. Recently Lord Orange Marmalade said "The eight year assault on your constitutional rights has ended." There was no such campaign except by people who are as fringe as the gun nuts who think they should be armed anywhere they want to armed. When we explain that we're not after all your guns the message is for everybody reading this, not just you.

There are a lot of extremist left wing politicians that want to ban all guns. I realize that most leftists don't support an outright ban.

There now that's out of the way, lets carry on.

GLAD YOU AGREE so please fucking stop it with your paranoid "you are out to get me" bullshit responses.

1. Saying we make too many IS NOT A CALL FOR AN ALL OUT  BAN.
2. Saying we dont do enough to keep them out of the hands of the mentally ill, domestic abusers and violent criminals also IS NOT A CALL FOR AN ALL OUT BAN.
3. Saying that there is a huge difference between mere target shooting and shooting under stress under threat IS ALSO NOT A CALL FOR AN ALL OUT BAN.
4. Saying you don't need big clips or spray riffles also NOT SAYING you cant have a gun. YES YOU CAN. Within reason and especially with TRAINING.

"Legal at time of buy" does not automatically insure no mistakes after the legal buy.

Just like you have a right to your religion from a government standpoint, but you don't have the right to be free from criticism or regulation. 

NOBODY IS OUT TO GET YOU. You just said it in this post. The far left does not constitute the majority of the left. So stop hiding behind the far right fear mongers and stop buying the fear marketing of assholes like the NRA. They are NOT the non profit safety org they started out as. If they were, I would fully support them. But they are now nothing but an industry lobby whose only goal is to protect the factories and profits of the CEOs and shareholders.

YOU SHOULD want to care about where guns end up. Because regardless if you hurt yourself, or a criminal hurts you, that costs everyone money in heath costs, not to mention the mental pain it causes the families of those affected.

I am not anti gun, I am not anti private sector. I am simply arguing for a little SANITY.
