Why do you feel the need to own a gun?

Right...I did not doubt that in my post did I?

If you pay attention...you will notice that in my post I claimed that the government does not need military to take over if they wanted.

Wars are rapidly being taken over by computers, and by the time our government wants to start a war with the people all they will need is a bunch of computer programmers/video game junkies that are willing to do anything for the highest bidder.

You don't HAVE to understand it, just to accept that freedom involves allowing others to do things that you may not agree with.


Since concealed carry has been permitted in this country for a good many years, you should easily be able to provide evidence to support your idea that concealed carry doesn't work.

he can't, I have posted numerous facts that CCW does work, 13 seconds of every day.

Wow! You really are just an ignorant person, aren't you? I'm done with you. You don't deserve the attention of others.

Can't answer for others, handguns are just not my thing.
I do strongly support their choice to carry though.
Being Special Forces- I'm quite good at hand-to hand combat & even in my 60's, I'd give most a run for their money.
I recall about 20 years ago- while running calls late at night, I stopped at a liquor store to use the pay phone. Walking back to the truck- I was faced w/ a black guy with a knife that wanted my truck keys & my wallet. I took his knife & sent him to the hospital with a badly broken arm & facial lacerations.
Maybe that's why I never felt the need to have a CCW.

They don't seem to have as much pull as they used to. The oil companies don't back the current regime, lying hypocrites like Al Gore, Peter Lewis and George Soros do.

I shot & killed people in the defense of my country. I served so you can be free & shoot off your pie hole.
I'm proud of my service to this Country I love.
If you bothered to read my post- I was quoting & responding to Brian- not you.
No I don't have exclusive rights to be the only viable voice as you put it. Neither do you.

Perhaps you need a crash course in American history.
Or at least read The Constitution over again. That's assuming you have once already.

---

Perhaps you should read the Supreem Courts decision on the 2nd amendment dealing with individual rights to bear arms and its boundries.

So to be a citizen I need to own a gun?

Who says?

You?

You're confusing your arrogance, with your confidence. There's a big difference.

Don't worry, we'll defend those like you, that don't want to own weapons.

I think you may have bigger issues to deal with, besides people that want to own guns.
