Great. So far that makes two of us who've figured this out. Only 301,139,945 left! Oh, wait. If you're not a yank then 301,139,946.

Originally posted by huckleberryhoundDear god! you've made my point for me. Why is gun violence low in Sweden? Because everyone has a weapon, and everyone else knows it.
Sweden does it right. Everyone has a gun, but they have to do national service at 18, and get to keep the gun they're trained with....that's the way to do it (not much gansta rap from Sweden)
So nobody messes with anyone. A Totally Armed Society is a Polite Society. If you want to be with polite people in the U.S....go to a gun show.
Most 18 year olds in America don't care about nat'l service. They just want to hang at the malls and eat junk food. They don't realize that freedom isn't free.

Maybe you should get some Pepper spray incase you are sexually attacked by supermodels aswell 😛

Their intent was that there should be no standing Federal military which could take away states rights. States were to have armed citizens ready to defend there state. They did not want the Fed, gov't to get us involved in European wars. Do i need to mention the Iraqi debacle? And others.
Hey! was it you who honored me with the Creep Award?

That means zero.

Can you own pepper spray?. Most states have banned it in the US. That Would be a better first resort, especially for a women.
Getting complicated, isn't it?
Why why would i want to chase away a super model? You're really digging for responses.
A spelling check is coming up, i fear. By the way, how do you use a spell checker on this site?
Originally posted by huckleberryhoundI guess you want to get hung up on the word imigrant. I was talking about criminal, illegal imigrants, and there are many from all cultures. Don't try to suck me in, hound dog. My wife was a legal imigrant. So is one of my employees. I've had to use my weapon 3 times on my own property. I only had to show the creeps that i was armed and they ran away. How would i know if they were imigrants? Americans use a firearm 2million times a year in self defense, without firing a shot. I guess you would rather have them shot or mugged instead. Wash DC has banned all firearms and they have the highest murder rate ,by gun, in the US.
So, how many times have you actually had to use your Guns to prevent imigrant criminals from stealing your posessions ?
Originally posted by Sam The ShamThe USA is on a downward spiral.
Too true. So do Baltimore, Wilmington, Detroit, NYC, etc., all where owning a handgun is severely restricted or banned.
Hmmmm. anyone see a pattern?
The Fed government has too much power and "we the people" have allowed this to happen. All the women and sissies of this country want to feel "safe". So they want a huge army and lots of laws controling everything.
There is no such thing as deserve or right. People think we live in a free society but the fact is that the corporations control all decisions.
Fact:
- Control is an weapon uses by the government
- anything but complete freedom is living in oppression
- do you realize that we put people in prison for life? for things as selling weed? In the USA if you do not live as the federal government deems then they will either put you in jail or put you on welfare and really teach you about control.
I can not imagine if they took our guns away. Lets see, then that would justify more police to enforce more laws to "protect" us against the law breakers because they have removed our ability to defend ourselves.
I hated Clinton but at least he was harmless. Bush has become very dangerous.
We all need to watch V for Vendetta..........I fear we are not that far off.
Originally posted by Sam The ShamA couple of years ago I had a young woman house sit while I was on vacation. I came home and immediately found my revolver missing. I called her and she admitted that she had a male freind over who had been in trouble with the law. I called the police and explained the situation and they went over to put heat on her. They could not get my gun back, but told me I had the right to have her arrested. I don't believe she stole it, however I made her pay me for the gun and I did not pay her for house-sitting.
15 year old chucklehead just got out of a 30 day stint in juvenile hall, spent two days with us, and now I'm missing TWO pistols, a snub nose revolver and a high capacity 9 m/m.
Any suggestions, besides freaking out and calling the police to report them stolen? And fingering the little creep?
The guy that I believe stole the gun kept up his stealing. Hew had a court appearance and I wrote the judge a letter outlining what he had done and the escalating nature of his crimes. He let him out after a few days. Then he held up a store and had a woman at knife-point. Again, the judge just slapped him on the wrist. Then he got involved in a shoot-out with police and shot a police dog. He is now doing 20 years in a state prison where he belonged long before shooting the dog.
Do the kid a favor and bust his balls now.
