How sad that Over There now means the next block instead of a war on foreign soil.
And even worse it means your fellow citizens are now the enemy to be armed in fear of. What a bunch of maroons; as 'Bugs' would have said.

This is going to get much worse before it gets any better and will end very badly.

Some of the posters on here would not need to interpret any rorschach ink blots to confirm they should not be in the possession of anything even remotely like a firearm.

Bravdo and bluster are primary indicators of an inferiority complex struggling with overcompensating.

"What do you see when you look at this one?" I see a Colt Defender ........and this one.......a Glock 19........and this one........ooooh, I see a Kimber Stainless Gold Match.....ooooh, ooooh!"

The ONLY people that say this is people like you because you cannot back anything up...kinda like the "sex" thing and the left when talking about people who like guns..fetish fetish fetish......

Please tell us, what are they over compensating for or from?

Go ahead....no need to tell me I don't understand what you wrote, I clearly do. To wit; your BS...

Are you serious ?!? Last week someone in Detroit was shot for $2...did you read that ???? two dollars ! Earlier in the year a store owner was shot and killed after giving up the $300 in the register...after he handed it over... Are you really willing to roll the dice on your life ? really ? What kind of coward would go down with out a fight ?

People comply with robbers and home invaders all the time and still get shot to death. No witnesses!

Absolutely. I just can't get into the head of people that sympathize with the thugs, or are just willing to roll over and take whatever is coming to them without a fight. What happened to the survival instinct ? Sad really.
I know there are situations (ones I hope never to be in) where you might not have an option to fight back , then there are others (again ,never want to partake) where you have a chance to fight back so it all depends on the situation but it seems like the majority of our society just want to let the thugs take control. I read in an article that one of the "anti" rape techniques is to urinate on oneself to put off the rapist. Really ? Why not take a self defense class and fight back ?
My wife is on her third Krav Maga course and also carries a firearm...a much better choice than urinating on oneself.

No, I don't keep up on crimes in Detroit, why would I?

Everything in life has action and reactions. What makes you think either of those people were cowards just because they were killed in a robbery? And that still doesn't prove that all robberies end in murder.

Well, I'll tell you what. If you end up in that situation , you do whatever you have to. Give them a hug, sweet talk them, give them your money or car and possibly your life. I'll fight for mine. That is what is great about this country , we have choices. What isn't great is when people judge others because of their choices.
