America's obsession with guns

[Brian37]

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

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

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. 

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

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. 

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

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. 

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

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.

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.
