To the Gun Owners....
 

A post I saw on another board - saying something about 9/11.....
and well i quote - also this is nothing about the person who made the post or anything like that.


"Do you think terrorists will attack or wait a few days after till our gaurd is down? i seriously have a friend who is ordering stuff from ALLIED SURPLUS SALES. He thinks paper money will be worthless, the only thing that will be good is water, canned goods, gas, gold, and ammo....."


More about ....your fucking joking me if you People that have a GUN in your house and your going to do a God Dam thing if there is a Attack...like 9/11. I love the hole idea that ....ya things hit the fan there is no food or water and blah blah...but i have a GUN...just let some one try and come to my house for Water or Food....YA fucking Right....the one thing that turns my stomach about you guessed it America is you gun owning save my home and family freaks.

If shit hit the fan...you really think your going to start shooting people who may really need some help ? Have you even shot a Deer or other animal....Because I would really think shooting another person is just not that easy. Tell me i'm wrong go ahead tell me how your the MAN and would shoot to kill...just give me a reason. My come back to that is ya tuff guy you go.

The land of the Free is turning into the land of the PARANOID :thumbsup

i love to shoot and kill deer, its a pain in the ass when you wound them have to stalk them and slit their throats, but its worth it

nice...so at least you do something with your guns and EAT what you kill no ?

Unlike some of the Home protection freaks...or the Paranoid gun owner who is going to shoot to kill should the world start to end.

Guess what the World has been ending since it started.

i only shoot what i plan to eat unless im target shooting.... and im a selective hunter meaning i dont shoot young buck, only does or bucks with a wide 8+point rack

as for the world ending, all good things must come to an end

I'm not sure what you're on about, or who you've been talking to, but I'd rather have a gun in my possession than be without... especially if the shit's hitting the fan.

There are other people that live with me that look to me for protection, regardless of the circumstances.

A gun is a tool to secure that protection. Maybe you've never had others depend on you in that fashion, and can't relate.

There's no tough-guy routine - no delusion of grandeur or anything like that about it. it just is. This thought isn't something I take lightly... it's a very serious matter, and I've made sure I'm trained in proper use and am of above-average skill if it ever comes to using a gun.

Could I kill? Absolutely. I've yet to, but if I ever did point a gun at another person, I've already made the decision to end his or her life, and would most likely attempt to.

I sincerely hope I'll live the rest of my life without it ever coming to that, though.

I'd rather have a gun and not need it than need a gun and not have it.

And although I've never personally shot and killed an animal I have eaten food from those who did and would certainly do it to sustain myself.

D, I love your posts. You always seems to say exactly what I'm thinking. :thumbsup

once when living in an apartment in hollywood a gun fight broke out next door in a neighboring apartment. boy did I feel stupid not having a gun. I won't ever have that feeling again.

I agree, especially with 'I sincerely hope I'll live the rest of my life without it ever coming to that'

are you like some guy that went to collage and lived in the 'burbs'? you sound like someone that has never been in any danger of any kind. I've never heard these type of statements you are making from any one that's been up against it before.

No, of course not. If someone really needs help, I'm going to do everything in my power to help them.


Yes, I've been hunting with my Grandfather since I was a child.


Just because you think you would find it hard to take a life, don't automatically assume everyone else is the same way. More than a few of us have military backgrounds and have been forced to make that decision on more than one occasion. I can only speak for myself, but I would imagine very few of the others had a problem pulling the trigger when the time came. Never assume that you couldn't take a life if your life and the lives of loved ones are in jeopardy. :2 cents:

guns are crazy.

im very glad that we have a gun law over here in Australia.
i couldnt think of anything worse than having a gun in the house, or living next door to some one with a gun. you never know when some one might snap and go alittle crazy.

play safe please boys!!!!

guns are the cool

I've been shot at and shot back at someone in the past. He's dead, I'm not. 'Nuff said.

Your criminals are glad that you have a gun law too. There's nothing worse than a victim who can defend him/herself.

Actually he sounds like someone who barely got through high school, whose needs were all taken care of by mommie and daddy, who has no responsibility for anyone other than himself, has little life experience, and spends most of his days smoking dope and slinging porn

They sell buckets of survival food at Costco

Ummmm... you don't have a clue. Australia has about 50 firearm related homicides a year in a population of 20 million.

I'm also glad we aren't gun crazy like America.

I never figured RAM for that however I see the statements he's made very often from people that have lived what I would consider an easy or sheltered life.

The problem with many Americans is they think just because they've failed at something no other country can succeed. They failed at creating a peaceful society without gun violence so nobody else can do it. They failed at public education so nobody else can do it. They failed at public health so nobody else can do it.

Well if they ever managed to get out of their own country and see some other places in the world they would see that many other countries have succeeded where they have failed. In many, many areas, not just the few I mentioned above.

Someone said, they would rather have a gun and not need it than need one and not have it.

Well, I'd rather not need one, period. And I don't.

Your 9/11 example isn't good. The footprint of 9/11 was small and didn't have an actual effect on anyone outside of the terror strike.

Look at what happened during Hurricane Katrina. The entire city of New Orleans was in total chaos and the police had absolutely no control. Emergency dispatchers were telling callers to defend themselves because the police would not be coming.

Since you have twice a many rapes per capita as the US, you might want to rethink having one when you need one.

Yes, that's a good idea. Women carrying around a gun that can be used against them by their attackers. :1orglaugh

I never suggested Australia is perfect, far from it. But gun violence is something we don't have a problem with. Also, most sexual assault is committed by someone the person knows, not a stranger. I fail to see how having a gun would help in the vast majority of cases.

I'm not interested in the number of firearm related homicides. What I am interested in is a law-abiding citizen who wishes to own a gun to protect him/herself but can not because of some ridiculous law.

Guns level the playing field. Tell me, what happens if a 6'5" 250 lb man decides he wants to rape a 5'1" 100 lb woman in Australia? He can do it without a weapon. Here in the US, she can pull a gun and kill the attacker.

It's a matter of personal preference. If you don't want a gun, don't buy one (not that YOU could). Personally, I will always own at least one. I'm glad I live someplace where I still have that option.

"Bitch, take off your clothes and get on the bed."

*BANG*
*THUD*

Any more questions about how that might work?

So you walk in your front door and someone is raping your wife/daughter/girlfriend/mother/sister. You won't wish you had a gun? And if you had one, you wouldn't use it? Wow.

I hope I never have to use it, but I know I will shoot any mofo that comes in my house and threatens my family. Will I be happy I shot someone? nope, but I know I would never pull my gun out unless I was prepared to use it.

Dont want a gun and will never get one. If I kill someone in self defense im still a murderer and i wouldn't be able to live with that and if i did id be emotionally fucked up for life.

If its my time to go its my time. Your gun will save you from getting shot today and you'll get hit by a car tommorow and die. You can't protect yourself from everything.

No but you can take driving lessons and cross at crosswalks instead of trying to play Frogger on the interstate. It's called taking precautions.

If someone was attempting bodily harm to me or someone I knew (I don't care about material items), I would be happy to call myself a "murderer". I'd be a helluva lot more fucked up emotionally if I just sat back and let someone get hurt/raped/killed. But obviously not everyone shares that kind of thinking.

Unless you live in ghetto type areas, your chances of ever being around gun violence is very slim. Even hearing a gunshot in your neighborhood is something that just doesn't happen.

Public education in the US is just fine. The issue is that school funding comes from local tax dollars. They put tax referendums on the voting ballots, and certain areas vote them down year after year. So their local school system never improves. That's not to mention the kids in these areas are not interested in learning anyway.

This one I'll agree with you on, but the US would have a serious problem in paying for it. The people who need it the most would never be able to carry their share of the tax burden. The lower class and Mexican illegals would contribute almost nothing in funding such a plan. It would be the people who currently have insurance that would pay for the system to work. And chances are, the taxes to fund the system would be higher than their current insurance rates. I think the tipping point for public health in the US is the illegal Mexicans. You take them out of the picture and it probably works.

keep on posting, i am reloading

Hard to argue with this statement

I wouldn't need a gun.

Kind of you to say. :)

I had my guns long before 9/11 and I did some hunting when I was younger, been in the military, they trained me. If someone gives me a reason, I will protect myself and my family.

Ok i can agree with 1st. Your not saying your just going to shoot the first person that shows. 2nd. You have had some type of training and gun saftey. 3rd. There are people in your life that depend on you for protection and if you had to you would shoot....BUT only as a last result.

Ok I DONT Agree with this at....

So a couple of Ass Holes start shooting next door. So you say...i will never have Gun envy again...i got me one to.

WTF would you have done with your GUN then ??????
Shot your fucking foot off ?

you forgot Fucking Chicks too...:thumbsup

NICE....see AMERICA you don't have to be gun CRAZY...really the rest of the world isn't.

Most of you fucks with guns would never shoot and would miss :321GFY

Yes some of you can shoot and know how to shoot and will shoot...Good for you !!!

I never figured you were such a idiot.

Maybe you should get out from under your shelter. I mean come fucking on...I must have lived a sheltered life because i'm not in favor of GUNS and idoits shooting each other :thumbsup

But hey i can live with that....:thumbsup

Now i feel this is a VERY TRUE STATEMENT :thumbsup

To bad most of you will never fucking get it...so go down to Wal MART and buy some cheap ass guns and amo and start shooting each other. This would make the world a better place too :thumbsup

This is a very good point. Your right about the 9/11 example.

However ya for Katrina...that would have been great if even more people would have had guns. Reason then there would have been less of them to save. See if more of the Katrina Victums would have had guns...they could have all shoot each other....and then BUSH could have looked much much better.

Well, of course. He agrees with you.










Doesn't make it right.

Yes but he put in some other good points as well.

You really think human beings are that friendly when things are desperate? There will be people out to kill you and take your food. there is no asking for help. If someone needs help, and you cant offer it, then they might as well take it from you. Maybe youd suffer to death, but most people will not

double post sorry

everyone should have a M4 carbine under there bed ;)

YA ok good point.
