hard evidence, good guy with a gun is real

Corruption pervades.

But a functional government requires, in GW's own words:

"A government exists when it has a reasonable monopoly on the legitimate use of violence." George Will

That's why COPs carry guns.

Do you really mean to suggest that because some COPs fail to perform optimally sometimes, that government should forfeit the authority to preserve civilization?

It is not the function of our government to keep the citizen from falling into error; it is the function of the citizen to keep the government from falling into error. — Justice Robert H. Jackson

I know of no safe depository of the ultimate powers of the society but the people themselves; and if we think them not enlightened enough to exercise their control with a wholesome discretion, the remedy is not to take it from them but to inform their discretion. —THOMAS JEFFERSON

the cops are the good guys with guns

and BTW lots of people have stopped a bad guy with a gun without a gun


remember when gabby Giffords got shot

the good guy that day was a 50 something year old lady who tackled the gunman

that young man recently who jumped the fucker pretty much on the spot

That's all well and good, but plenty of armed self-defenders also protect themselves and their loved ones. Often without firing a shot. Why would you deny them this right?

Evidence shows that a home with guns is more dangerous than one without them. You have guns at home ,you are putting your family in jeopardy. I am sure is some weird and rare occasions, they do work. But mostly, the family members are shot by guns in the home.

i'm pretty sure that police carry guns for defense, not for killing, unless you believe that it's the job of cops to kill people?

That is what the cops think.

Statistically yes. I did not say it never happened. However you are more likely to have a family member shot than a home invasion. You are subjecting your whole family to danger because you live in fear.

It's the lack of guts in America that seems to be the problem, poor yellow buggers waving their bang-bangs and pretending to be brave! Jesus wept!

CFM is on my ignore, so I don’t see the idiot’s posts until someone responds.

No surprise that a dumbfuck shitstain like him would bring up the absurd and failed car/gun comparison.

It's no surprise that a cowardly piece of shit like you hides behind the ignore features. Your sub human kind just aren't man enough to face your superiors.

Anytime you believe you're man enough to step up and try to take what you say shouldn't be owned, do so. Until then, you're the last one to talk about a lack of guts.

@ post 1
Sorry, in general it is more fucking dangerous for me to have a bunch of gun humpers thinking it is the Wild West packing heat around me.
I do not want to be in a public library, in a restaurant, packed in like sardines with a herd of locked-and-loaded yahoos having visions of battlefield glory.
