    And that one man is weak because he has to rely on using his gun to spark fear to control people. He couldnt hold nobody's attention otherwise. If that's the only he feels like he has balls, so be it.

    Actually, guns save more people than is reported. If a law abiding person with a gun stops a crime but does not pull the trigger it is not reported. The reason my Mother was not raped was because she had a gun. Didn’t pull the trigger just held him for the cops. I encourage women to get a gun and not be easy targets.

    " I cant whoop nobody's ###, so this is my only form of leverage."
    Good point. Yes my Mom was weaker than her attacker. Thankfully, she had a gun.

    If you take out the city’s that have been mentioned in this thread gun crime in USA is pretty low. If you break down the numbers it is about 8000 a year with most taking place in areas with strong gun control like Chicago. Criminals seem to prefer defenseless victims. Do a little research and you will see that law abiding gun owners are not the problem.

    You cannot have a conversation about guns and gun control with anyone who has not owned or legally carried a gun. They will THINK that they can, they will THINK that they have intelligence on the subject, but they will have no idea. It's like talking about your honeymoon night with a 5 yr old.

    You're right. You also cant have as conversation with someone who owns guns either. They are too stuck on....."its our constitutional right." You know, that document written in the 1700s. I just have to agree to disagree with all of you on here. It's not a matter of fact. It's all opinion. Doesnt make any of us smarter than the other. Its whatever makes people have peace of mind. For me, gun owner shop among civilians doesnt give me peace of mind. Doesnt make me ignorant or dumb. Just makes me who I am.

    Our entire country was founded on that the principles in that document. People have forgotten that. They think modern society has "evolved" passed needing that document.

    If you dont like guns, thats fine. Don't own any, but do not try to take away my right to own something I like. When it comes to defending myself, I will take ANY tactical advantage I can.

    You know what my guns do? They're a sport for me mostly. I compete in shotgun sports with high end firearms.

    Do some critical thinking. Crazy is never going to stop. Taking away the rights of citizens to protect themselves only allows criminals more ability to commit crimes without repercussions.

    And if you dont like how it is here, you're more than welcome to try Canada, Mexico, or any other country you think is better.

    Doesn't even need to get that drastic. He can move to a city like Chicago that has the most restrictive gun policies in America. That should give him an idea of how safe he can be if such policies ever became the norm.

    Canada doesn’t sound that bad though. I’d be happy to do some off road trucking out west there.

    I never met someone from Canada who wasn’t at least halfway decent.
