Criminals who are armed to the teeth can’t even handle the SWAT team, so the chance of accountants, nurses, bus drivers, and waitresses being able to fight off the US military are slim to none.
Yeah but there’s nothing to worry about because you can defeat the US military with spatulas and paperclips. If someone *really *wants to massacre a bunch of people, they’ll do it using anything.
Just don’t forget that the government is the enemy, which is why I love them so much for protecting me from all the other enemies we have. There are so many enemies everywhere, but ohhhh, you just watch what I do if they try anything while I’m in the area with my gun. YOU JUST WATCH!
Sorry I went all Alex Jones at the end there…yelling is the best way to communicate.
And lol at politicians saying they are still going to keep rifles for sport. What a bunch of idiots, they aren’t for sport, their for people who threaten my relative peace.
LOL at the guy quoting a comic book character with a sever ego problem.
I agree with everything you said except this part because we’re still fighting wars in the middle east. Maybe the knowledge of home territory will give the military a much great advantage than they have over there.
There may still be violence, but the attacks kill far more civilians than soldiers. Even then, the US has done exactly what it wanted to do in those countries. The attackers didn’t stop the US from occupying the country, bringing in companies to milk out all of the profit that they could, or installing favorable governments to do its bidding.
not my problem, and not yours. its quite simple. Society doesn’t get to dictate what one can and cannot have because a few people in society naively believe that these tools are not needed. Because Adam decided to act on whatever instict he acted on, his actions should have no consequence on me, or others who behave in a responsible manner.
and this is a very fucking stupid comment by the way. Very fucking stupid, and you should try again.
no he really doesn’t. Its like when politicians bitch about guns, yet have security guards up the ass. You especially shouldn’t quote one of the biggest assholes in comic book history, especially when said asshole has full control of the Electromagnetic spectrum.
What’s also crazy is some people saying that if the mother was allowed to carry a weapon in school she would have been able to defend herself. If we are going assume she was mentally stable, what mother is going to shoot their own child? The event would have ended the same way.
True dat, but I think we’d have a significant number of the army desert and protect their countrymen than the Government IMO
this is why i love ya. i laughed at this for about 5 minutes because it sounds like you were referring to your own comment haha. my face turned red, and now my tummy hurts.
Politicians have armed guards because they are far more likely to be targeted by an assassin than is the salesman at the car dealership. Even the pope has armed guards.
All you’re doing with the rest of your post is attacking the person instead of addressing what he actually said. Regardless of whether he said it or whether I said it or whether Mother Theresa said it, the point is still there. Americans do indeed have an obsession with guns that you don’t see in other developed countries.
If a homeless person were to tell an unemployed slacker who lives in his parents’ basement playing video games, getting stoned, and binging on cereal and pizza all day that he should get up off of his ass and do something with his life before it’s too late then he would still have a valid point.
Americans are ready to knock down the doors at the mere idea that someone might take their guns away because they claim it violates the Second Amendment, but when the government passed the Patriot act which is a direct and blatant violation of the Fourth and Fifth Amendments, the same fools are completely complacent with many of them responding with statements such as “Well, they are trying to catch the terrorists” and “If you’re not up to no good, you should have nothing to worry about”.
Not my problem, they can pay for their security, I can’t. And I refuse to forefit that ability and leave up to the police. A lot can happen in the course of 1-3 min.
why address? That fool has powers to defend himself, he wouldn’t be saying such stupid things if he didn’t have the power he did. So as far as analyzing what he said, he isn’t in a position to make such a claim, when it could be reversed. And one can say the homeless man should STFU and follow his own advice.
And, it could be because we have an entire document dedicated to it, this nation still had a sizable rural population up till the 1900’s, the nation depended heavily on firearms up the the 1900’s, and this is one of the few nations where people actually had the space to own large property and often times defense was on them not a police force.
People pay for your security as well as other services that you use everyday so you have to give back just like everybody else.
Yes, a lot can happen in the course of 1-3 minutes including the attackers killing you whether you have a gun or not. Like I said before, people with guns are robbed, murdered, and have their homes broken into all the time. Having a gun does not stop the attack from happening. It simply allows you to retroactively respond to it by which time it can be too late because you could be killed before you even get to use the gun.
Worried for your safety? Take precautions. Don’t walk around alone at night. Avoid secluded areas and areas that are known for shady activity. Install an alarm system and make sure that entrances such as doors and windows are locked and secured. These precautions will go a lot further in protecting you than getting to the point where you have to have a gunfight.
The point behind what was said is obviously lost on you, so I’m not going to keep trying to explain. Everyone else seems to get it.
not everybody has that luxury, which is something you fail to understand just by suggesting these things. Not everybody can afford the bus, some people have to walk at night through the industrial sector to get to work, or through shitty parts of town to get to work. Not everybody can choose to live away from stupid ass minorities or trailer trash. Not everybody can afford a monthly alarm bill. Taxes pay for police, but im still not forefeting all responsiblity to them because doing so is stupid and irresponsible.
Having a gun might not stop me from getting killed, but it sure as hell is going to give me more control if that situation may ever arise.
“Its better to have them and never use them at all, then to never have them and need them”
simple as that.
not a valid excuse, try again. Try living in a shitty part of town. See how much you would like it.
