My question is...in other countries, when they call up people & draft them for a war..how do they expect them to know how to use a rifle? 8 weeks of basic training? :1orglaugh

Without guns you are a sheep, remember that.

yes. your handgun (maybe two, one in each hand) will surely stop the military if they're motivated to attack you. because the military is that incompetent.

yep.

I would love to see any invading power try to waltz through the American rural areas. Where there are more guns than people. And people there KNOW how to use them. It would be a bloodbath.

Wolveriiiiines!

Sure would... hundreds of thousands of hillbillies staring at the skies in amazement, trying to dodge the thousands of bombs falling on their heads.

And from what country would they be landing & re-fueling their bombers? :1orglaugh

a ton of history has been changed with 1 rifle. or 1 pistol ( jfk, lincoln, King )

I just heard this morning of a friend - his wife was shot last night by some idiot. This was a totally unprovoked attack - he just wanted to mug her, but decided to kill her as well.

They had a young family - two children...

I think it is time this infantile "wild west" shit was terminated - along with guns.

If you are a law-abiding citizen purchasing a gun and license for legitimate use such as self-defense or recreation, I don't see why you would object to a mandatory training class. Sure, it might seem like a hassle, but it seems like a small price to pay.

Shit happens, don't let your wife walk home alone at night.

I think any law abiding gun owner would have absolutely no issue with that whatsoever.

In fact, i'm about to get a concealed permit, that allows me to carry a handgun anywhere i want (except for a bank or church).

It's funny though, the one place i can't carry or own my handgun (Washington D.C.) is one of the most dangerous places in America. On a daily basis during the summertime its fairly typical to see a dead body covered in plastic wrap with cops standing around collecting evidence from a shooting.

*Shit happens, don't let your wife walk home alone at night.*

Oddly she was not alone and in what supposed to be a safe area with two friends.

also....thre are way too many people on the earth as it is. if a few weaker people get weeded out its better for the whole.

If a country had the power to invade the US, they most likely would also have technology equal to that of the US... in other words, it wouldn't even matter what country they were from, their planes would reach you.

*if a few weaker people get weeded out its better for the whole.*

You the first in the queue?? Grow up

so many stupid americans get caught/fined/turned back trying to cross the border with guns in their cars. that's despite the big signs at most border crossings that essentially say "no guns"!

people will use whatever is at hand. in the states it's guns. in canada and other civilized countries i expect its knives etc.

You are so 100% right...that is seriously funny...

I agree, so lets get rid of guns, since those only help the weak.

You think they need technology to "invade"? Get a feeling it is far easier than that somehow :-)

Agreed, but you were talking about carpet bombing. In order to carpet bomb you have to use your huge bomber fleets that constantly need to be re-loaded with 500-5000lb bombs. You can't exactly bring over 1,000,000 tons of bombs on an aircraft carrier, nor can you land a bomber on one.

But yes percision bombing & cruise missle attacks can be launched from a sea based platform, & from long range bombers.

So get your shit straight :thumbsup hehe

i'm not really sure what pr0 meant by that... i mean, why would the US government land elsewhere to fuel to bomb US citizens? i don't get it.

Try it bitch

pr0 loves the cock

What country are you and your friend from?

Yes I was tree... I have seen this elsewhere.. just takes a group of idiots and they can "achieve" a lot...

Yea better yet what state is your friend from. I will pull up their local news & see if you are just bullshitting us.

Most doctors don't see gunshot wounds, because most doctors don't work in emergency rooms.

You don't go to a family doctor for a gunsshot wound. You don't go to an obgyn for a gun wound. The only doctor you should ever see is in the emergency room.

I am all for individual rights, but all INDIVIDUALS have rights.

If some individual that lives in an apartment next to me wants to be a nazi, smoke crack, worship the devil - fine with me - it doesn't effect me.

But if that individual brings home a gun - it very well could if it is used.

The fact is - a gun in the home is much more likely to kill someone you know than protect you.

Almost everyone that owns a gun thinks this won't happen to them. They are RIGHT 99% of the time, but unfortunately - IF THE GUN IS USED - they are WRONG much more than they are RIGHT.

I think everyone who either enters a house or has their children enter the hous of another - has a right to know if there is a gun in that house.

People who own guns think it makes them safer - statistically it does not. You have a better chance getting hit by lightning than using a gun in self defence.

No one ever thinks something will happen to them - they think these other people are impulsive, stupid, don't lock their guns up safely, or whatever other reason.

People should know and understand the risks of owning a gun.

Sly_RJ:

This was a friend in the US..

I'm all for having a sign on the front door that states "Warning Firearm/Handgun Protection System in place"

And i might even agree to put one up on my door.

Ok quit the bullshitting man, tell us what state & when it happened & i'll look it up in the paper. Quit stalling liar

No, I was asking because I knew Webby doesn't live in the States.

pr0:

I ain't gonna got into it all in a chatroom... but I can tell you serveral US friends have went thru hell because of this "gun" stuff there... One friend now has serious problems coping cos of this shit.

Frankly, I doubt you would even begin to comprhend the relevance of this.. I didn't! But I can see the consequences pretty damned well!...

Coming out next week:
http://www.bowlingforcolumbine.com/

Examines America's love for guns.

Sly_RJ:

I actually like the States Sly.. and have many good friends there.

I have also seen a side that many living there have not.. and it is not pretty. But, fortunately most folks there would never come across it.. and I hope they don't...

I would have loved to have a gun five months ago when my very roommate own pulled a butcher knife on me.

Damn that Dawson's Creek dude been eatin' too many samiches...

No no, the reason I was asking was because I wanted to make sure your friend wasn't from a gunless society.

By the way, sorry for your losses.

Sly_RJ:

*I would have loved to have a gun five months ago when my very roommate own pulled a butcher knife on me.*

Mmmm.. You actually gonna kill him? Unless he was berserk, I doubt he would wanna kill you :-) ... I have had knives at me but manage fine! Can't say about your "incident", but in mine they were just idiots or kids gone stupid...

Riiiight, next time you make a statement like that on GFY realize most of us will always call your bluff.

But if it really did happen, sorry to hear that, she should have had a gun to protect herself.

lol you lieing anti gun pussy :321GFY

no no...he just doesnt "want to get into that" here on the board. :1orglaugh

Sly_RJ: :

Some of these attacks are... kinda ruthless... Have one friend who had her car written off ... police counted 70 something bullets in it. The nearest was in headrest and embedded there. She is fine ... spoke to her an hour later and she started discussing the pet cat *g* For me, I was having a double scotch! *lol*

Ok so your friends are crack whores & drug dealers. The only way you get 70bullets in your car here in America, is to steal money from your pimp, or your drug dealer.

The guy was schizophrenic. He could have done anything. When a schizophrenic has a butcher knife three inches from your face... what would you think?

who was trying to kill her fucking storm troopers from star wars?

thats the only thing i ever saw someone shoot 70 times and not kill someone. i think you are full of shit my friend.

Sly_RG:

Ah.. yea.. understand.. tis a dangerous condition..

tree:

I an't gonna discuss details with ya.. It ain't my business and ain't yours either.. But I can assure you I ain't got time for bullshit...

Granted, I don't know how much a gun would have helped unless it was in my pocket...

:1orglaugh

http://www.cnn.com/EVENTS/1997/star....ewbacca.lg.jpg

if you had a gun in our pocket...your roomate woulda known...and definately wouldnt try shit with a knife

Sly_RJ:

I don't know anything about guns Sly.. I was asked to get one, but refused.. Was also told this can cos me more harm than good, especially if you know fuck all about em! *g* But.. I learned one thing - in that instance, you "supposed" to shoot in the leg an stop the attack.

Oddly, ... I ain't no "expert", but a good few of the folks that commit stupid crimes are already mentally "gone".. kinda like in your instance...
