I'd rather have the sword and not have to use it than not have it and find myself in a situation where I wished desperately for it.JWPearl said:who ever uses the sword will die by the sword
i have no time for people who have no reason
(or reason) to act so stupid with weapons
rather a legal cup of Tea... than put up with it
so stick that in your pipe and smoke it well try to
I also like the idea that law abiding citizens currently have the right to choose for themselves.If hope can grow from dirt like me, it can be done. - EV0 -
like every law abiding moron ithis thread0

Most of the people in the links to news stories in this thread aren't exactly law abiding.
Please don't mistake my point of view as one from the far right. I feel that much can and should be done to curtail the amount of gun deaths here.If hope can grow from dirt like me, it can be done. - EV0 -

Many people who shoot people in a fit of rage would likely swear a bit and be frustrated for a moment or two until they cooled down without the opportunity to take advantage of the gun they had to express their anger.
Don't have a gun? Can't shoot anyone."My brain's a good brain!"0 -
Do you think that private ownership of firearms should be made illegal?If hope can grow from dirt like me, it can be done. - EV0

I know you're not asking me directly, but FWIW, I don't think a single person has ever said that in any gun thread on the AMT.dudeman said:Do you think that private ownership of firearms should be made illegal?
With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be careful. Strive to be happy. ~ Desiderata0 -
I know that most people here are OK with guns for hunting but the last sentence in Thirty's post made me wonder if his stance had changed.If hope can grow from dirt like me, it can be done. - EV0

Oh, okay. What about farmers and hunters? Olympic shooters? Women being actively stalked?Smellyman said:With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be careful. Strive to be happy. ~ Desiderata0 -
Farmers. No. If there really is an animal killing their livelihood get Wildlife dept out there. Olympic shooters...who gives a crap.PJ_Soul said:

Woman actively stalked? tasers/pepper spray. So eveybody who thinks they are in danger or actively stalked should have one?.... but that is back to square one. Actually maybe you are on to something. Only women should have guns. Be a helluva lot less testosterone induced shootings and dipshit men can slowly weeded out.0 -
I didn't post that as my own opinion. I was just asking and listing random examples, but lmao, yeah, maybe a law where only women can own guns would solve a lot of problems!Smellyman said:

FWIW, now that I'm really thinking about it, I do think that one off situations could justify owning a gun for protection. If someone (male, female, and family) are being directly, specifically threatened, that seems like an okay reason to keep a gun for protection under a special circumstance.
As for farmers... they do kill their livestock and shit. I really think many farmers reasonably need a gun.Post edited by PJ_Soul onWith all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be careful. Strive to be happy. ~ Desiderata0 -

There are a lot of ways to keep predators away from livestock including dogs. Many ranchers love shooting anything that moves or coyotes that come to close.
Me. I like natural wildlife. We kill and drive out the natural prey so our next big mac can sometimes become a mountain lions next t-bone0 -
I prefer to hunt and butcher my own meat rather than get it from Wal Mart...will be cooking venison fajitas tonight and just got done snacking on antelope jerky actuallySmellyman said:PJ_Soul said:

I've been getting a prime, bone-in ribeye from WF for my Sunday dinner for the last month.

I'm pretty sure I've heard at least a couple people say that on AMT. Maybe Josevolution and Speedy McCready? (I apologize if I got that wrong.) Smellyman, too.PJ_Soul said:
