Guns aren't stupid, People with Guns Are.

@Ceili,

I liked the one where he taped a 40 cal to the front of a bb gun. This should go in my "WHAT WERE THEY THINKING" thread

To predators who attack me
(human or not), yea! That 's what guns r for,
but the last time it happened, the criminals fled
before I was able to line up a shot.

If it had been u, wud u have surrendered yourself
and surrendered your wife to the criminals ?
Wud u have been satisfied to beg for mercy ??
I believe in fighting back, penis-lover.

Yes; predatory criminals on-the-job.

After my first abdominal surgery and its infection in 2005,
I was too enfeebled to walk. Eventually, when I left
the hospital, I was hardly able to walk, as I approached
the parking lot. I was thinking: I better not need to fight.
I cud be defeated by a butterfly or a mild wind.

In that vein, about 4O years ago my friend and tenant, Donald,
reported to me that he had been mugged (assault & robbery)
in the NY subway by 3 Puerto Ricans, but he fought them off;
credit to him. In a state of alarm, he registered for self defense
classes in the martial arts. He pursued those studies for years.

About 2 years ago, I saw him again (he is no longer my tenant)
and I observed that he had become grotesquely obese,
and that he had severe leg problems. I asked him: after all those
martial arts classes, if u were attacked and u needed to defend
your family from predatory criminals, cud u still do it?
He said no; not without a weapon. (He has weapons.)

Why do people that are attacked once always fear being attacked but people that have been helped don't always feel they will be helped?

I reject your premise, as known to be false.
I have been attacked. I have no emotion.
When I was attacked (shot at), I had no emotion
as I reflexively drew my gun in self defense.
I found mild humor in it. I smiled a little.
In retrospect, I relate to Winston Churchill's
dictum that being shot at with no effect
is "exhilarating", tho I did not feel that thrill,
just found it a little funny, as I was drawing.
Last year, I was at home feeling 1OO% safe
and having fallen asleep in front of my computer,
when an electrical fire broke out.

My feelings of security did NOT render me immune from fire.
I have no fear of fire now, nor then,
tho I almost got killed.

Admittedly, at age 8 (un-armed) I felt a little
ill-at-ease at home alone, wondering how I 'd
defend my home, if it became necessary.
(We did live in a good naborhood; crime-free, so far as I know.)
I felt a lot safer when I acquired my first gun.

Maybe u can address that question
about getting helped to Reginald Denny in L.A.
or to the late Kitty Genovese in NY
or to Nicole Brown or Ron Goldman ??
Tell us what thay have to say, OK ?

Human beings r not trustworthy.
That shud be tawt in the public schools, at an early age,
along with competent defensive gun handling.

@OmSigDAVID,

You had feelings of fear at age 8? You are "unusual" to say the least! Your own family must have put the fear in you; there's no other reason.

I was in the USAF in the late fifties and stationed in Morocco. A band of nomads on horses charged our base with guns and rifles, but I did not have fear. We just picked up our rifles and waited. Before they reached the fence, they turned around and left.

I have traveled around the world to over 190 countries. I have never had fear even when I walked around in strange cities where they don't speak English.

You are a queer.

Well, I had a mild sense of disquiet,
insofar as I did not know how to defend my home,
if that became necessary; the best I had at the time
was a set of kitchen knives; not much, until I got a gun
from the other kids in the naborhood. Thay were abundant

I surmise that u consider 8 year olds to be fearless?
Is that what u think ?

cicerone imposter wrote:

I will confess to that.

"Must have"?? Really? What is your rationale??

U r in error; we did not have occasion to discuss the topic.
Thay never addressed the issue of "fear" in my presence,
nor did thay imply anything in regard to that emotion.

That sounds a lot like a classic Approach-Avoidance Reaction.

I have also (not 190), tho I prefer taking cabs
over walking, for the most part.

No; I don't go that way.
I prefer the ladies,
but I have friends of both genders who r homosexuals.

I will admit to having donated money
to the Pink Pistols, a homosexual defensive armament group.

@OmSigDAVID,

HMMM, my dad was military and he aided me into handling guns but I wasn't allowed to handle a 22 until I was at least 10 and a shotgun (he bought me a 2o gage dubble barrel) at 11.

An 8 year old should not be handling deadly force, I don't care how precocious he or she appears. First off 8 year olds need to develop a better sene of consequences .
I think your parents were low on the responsibility chart. You didn't live in ALaska's Kodiak Island where you had to walk to school past clumps of brown bwars? Or maybe in Chruchill where Polar bears came to the dump next door to scavange.

I don't buy your self aggrandizing story. When I was 8 years old I was about 65 pounds and was shown various weapons and told that I would be joining the small game party in a few years. (My dad only had a 45 side arm as army issue that he liberated in Burma)

That's a mouth-full, but the likes of David will never understand such common sense.

@OmSigDAVID,

You tell us a story about how you feel you need a gun in case you are attacked then you claim you have no fear that you will be attacked? Really David, your own words speak pretty loud about your fears.

I do, yes.
Its a fact. I remain un-emotional.

My not trusting people is a recognition of fact.
There is no reason to fear it; just use it; e.g.,
don't leave your property around exposed to larceny.
Have defensive plans, like getting health insurance & keep your guns close.
That requires only good judgment, not emotion.
I deem that to be obvious.

Do u choose to think and plan with your emotions ?

I prefer dispassionate analysis.

These tiny little effeminate ad hominem cuts

U define yourself as not to be taken seriously.

My description is pretty accurate - FMPOV.
I take you "seriously," because you are a danger to society at large.
Your swagger and manhood is based on your gun-penis.

I 'll concede that it is your POV,
however effeminate that may be.

Thank u. I have tried. Fortuately, the USSC is on my side.

Neither. I don't swagger.

I just play with u, as I use to with JTT,
as I wud with a puppy, not taking his opinions seriously.

In earlier years, u posted more leftist substance
rather than petty ad hominem foolishness.

Yes, reference is to your chronic
tiny, little girl-like petty ad hominem cuts,
instead of offering matters of substance.
The latter is suitable for debate,
not the former.

U tire me.
I grow weary of arguing with a fool.

I 'd rather argue substance,
not petty ad hominem off-topic bickering.
