In A Perfect World Clint Eastwood chases Kevin Coster, who's driving a four door '61 Chevy with a kid, in a Casper mask, in the back. If you get my drift.

Well why is the US any different from the rest of the world?

The are places far worse than the US, but most western countries are far better in terms of crime and gun control etc.

SH I wish I lived in your world, of couse I wouldnt be able to stand living in a looney bin. stupid: What do you find wrong with defending yourself? How could someone protecting thier own life (or someone elses) be a bad thing? If a criminal is going to harm you why would you say the victim doesnt have the right to self defense.

-From the article-
The bill says a person has "the right to stand his or her ground and meet force with force, including deadly force if he or she reasonably believes it is necessary to do so, to prevent death or great bodily harm to himself or herself or another."[/quote:fe8e0]

Your trying to justify your looney obsession for guns buddy. More guns is never the fucking solution. I find the best way to defend yourself when held up at gun point is to give your wallet to the person asking for it. Not to pull out your glock and try and go John Wayne on the muggers ass.

Think with your mind. Not your balls is the solution.[/quote:fe8e0]


well Im not a very good victim, I have been shot once already because of that. Now I have a CCW permit and will never be a victim of crime ever again. Id rather go down fighting than roll over, as I said Im not a good victim so the bad guy had better pick the next person or he will die

I know what sucks more, a man shooting his teenager when he sneaks back into the house at 2am, A father trying to be a big shot by drawing his weapon and getting himself killed in the process, leaving his kids and wife behind. Is your life (or someone elses) worth it ?

The bigger bummer is when the father goes ahead and gives up his money and stiill gets shot and killed by the piece of shit that is robbing him. Remember any sign of weakness and the bully attacks.

I love it -

Not ONCE does it say anywhere in that article that this is a "guns guns GUNS" law. . .

Deadly Force is NOT solely restricted to fucking hand guns.

As for more money into police, education etc. - the hell is that gonna do for someone when deadly force might be needed?

I hate all these theoretical rhetorical responses to real world craziness.

In my opinion the high amount of gun violence stems from the fact that there's over a quarter of a billion guns in country. So the "criminals" who are going to do bad things to you are armed to the teeth with guns that they either bought legally, or snagged from under your mattress/"blackmarket",etc. Legal registered owners of guns get robbed. It's not hard to imagine that some gun owners might not heroically blow away the "evil-doers" when they get robbed, and inadvertently end up supplying guns to criminals.

chances are if that happens then the person who killed the guy for accidently brushing up against him would have killed him anyways without the law being there.
Were not talkign about Canada where this year more people were murdered in a single month than in the past 10 years combined.
