America's obsession with guns

[GUBU]

So you think setting fire to cities, throwing home made incendiaries, and turning over cop cars is an example of them exercising their rights?

You think massively increasing both the murder and accidental death rates is justified by black swan events which have been blown out of all proportion?

I used to be more idealistic - handguns are bad, why would I "need" one?. Pandora's box is open. I'm no match for a young, fit, motivated bad guy. I chose to carry solely because it's my job to protect my family. YMMV.

Do you consider an action which makes your family statistically many times more unsafe to be an increase or a decrease in their safety?

Nope. I don't walk down the sidewalk with an AR15. I have a concealed handgun.

If you walk up behind me and stick me in the kidney, I will bleed to death in a matter of minutes.

Fixed your post to reflect the reality of what happens when you get stuck in the kidneys.

Huh, who me? FUCK NO. Where in this post did I ever claim I wanted to or do? I have not touched a firearm since I was 18 and I am 50 now. 

I think if one is going to own a firearm, they cant have any sort of utopia delusion that every use will have the same happy ending. If I see someone without a badge or a uniform with a weapon, my instinct is going to put distance between me and them. How the fuck am I supposed to tell if I don't know them, who they are and what their intent is?

Forgive me if I missed something, but weren't you the one that would shot me in the head if I stabbed you? I admit to being very sleepy right now, so apologies if that was someone else.

No that was Kusa. He thinks that he can pull a gun out of its concealed holster, pull the safety, cock it, train it on your head in a faster period than you can shank him to death from a couple of inches, after you've mortally wounded him through gutting him.

Brian thinks Kusa's talking shit, which he is.
