So, please tell us where you live? Nobody has been killed by guns where you live?

"You don't need a gun, if you make wise choices in life"

I haven't read beyond page one and don't intend to but will share my reaction. Caveat, my statement bears no relation to my opinion on the subject...

Did Trayvon Martin make a wise decision at a well known critical time in his life? Would having a gun have benefited him?

If you truly believe that a "Gun-Free Home" is a safer place, then I'm sure you won't have any problem putting a sign like this in your yard.... would you?

On the other hand, if you don't believe that a "Gun-Free Home" is a safer place... but your neighbor does... then you can always put this sign in your own front yard.

If you have a good mind- faith in God- know how to handle yourself in a fight...and know how to fake retreat and cowardice- you don't need a gun...If someone pulls a weapon on me...they will be sorry...People with guns can tell if a man is fearless....Gun people are bullies without natural ability and need help to feel like men- I don't need a damned gun- cos I am a super hero.....I mean- yah....well not super but pretty close...A POWERFUL MIND IS THE REAL WEAPON.

you see an idiot that is dangerous- You go around and not through- pride can get you killed.

"You don't need a gun" - if you have superior weaponry of any sort than your assailant.

Now correct me if I'm wrong, but, I believe it is permissible to own not only a hunting rifle but also a handgun in Victoria BC..

wise choices in life will not save u from a rape gang.
a mossberg 12 gauge will.
its not always about your wise choices but the bad choices of others.
