The Hot Pepper

Even though I live in the country..

Because you having a gun somehow makes you less likely to get shot...

At least you can defend yourself

By the time you see someone attempting to shoot you, chances are it's too late to do anything, gun or no.

IF the people in Munich had guns they would've shot the 2 alleged gunmen(so innocent people) who drove off after the attack. The small price we need to pay for safety and freedom....

Aaron its morally superior to be a victim in todays society.

200 people in a movie theater. One psycho f**k-nuts with a gun and starts shooting people, and kills 20, injures two dozen more. OR... 200 people in a theater and 100 are armed. How many rounds do you think psycho f**k-nuts will get off before he's put down like a rabid dog? I'll go to the theater with all the guns thankyouverymuch.

I love my Shield .40.

How about a mass stabbing that just happened a few hours ago. 19 dead.

For all those who talk trash about Americans and guns, what about Switzerland? Can we say double standard?

You at least have a chance. Plus I train for a quick response. Yes, it does not guarantee anything, but at least I have a good chance of at least thwarting the attacker and making him take cover. I shoot better than most on top of it.

There was a story about 6 months ago that never made the news (go figure) a psycho f**k-nuts with an AK entered a shopping mall in Minnesota (I think) and started shooting. He injured two people in 4 shots and some dude put and end to that shit in one shot. Killed Mr. psycho f**k-nuts before he REALLY got going. You can't let all these psycho f**k-nuts have all the weapons and expect us to cower in the sunglasses kiosk.

Exactly Scovie, and although some will say that it would have not happened if we did not have so many guns, just look at the most recent shooting in a nation where citizens cannot get them. Criminals and killers dont follow rules. The black market will always exist.

100%. They didn't get their guns legally in the first place. And guns aren't the problem, any psycho f**k-nuts with a gun, knife, truck, or propane bottle can and will cause harm. Chicago: illegal to own a gun there and yet it's the highest rated murder-by-gun city in the country. Whatever...
