Mine has helped me defend myself twice, and never once has it been turned against me. Thanks for playing the game of logic, sorry you didn't win.

Makes me wonder what deficiencies people have that they must go on and on about their firearms.
Oddly enough, most of the people 'chest-thumping' wouldn't be saying a word if there weren't people trying to take away a basic right. I am glad to see a liberal on here who realizes that guns are just a tool, though. I was starting to think that the rhetoric had infected everyone who considered themselves a liberal.

Why don't women want guns? Maybe, unlike the gun nut guys, they're not insecure about having a tiny penis?

Yes, they would be on the hobby section if they wanted to talk about guns and shooting as a hobby, but with the recent gun debate it's all front and center.

Tell me what the circumstances were. I'm legitimately curious.
