You can't fight like a man-therefore you want a gun. Too cowardly, lazy and out of shape to learn how to defend yourself without a firearm. Case closed.
You should tell us all about how you've defended yourself against an armed perp.
Do your spin kick the gun or knife out of their hand like Chuck Norris?
I took Krav Maga when I was younger. Alot of my friends from highschool who came back from Afghanistan and Iraq showed me a few things as well.
Pull a knife or a pistol close up on me and it's semi auto, I'll have it out of battery and your arm broken at the elbow and dislocated from the shoulder socket in a blink of an eye.
I think one would rather take a gut shot or shot in the leg than to feel that kind of incapacitating pain.

I have to give them credit on this one. An lone, overweight, elderly man armed with a knife or baseball bat, running around a baseball field trying to attack Congresspeople probably young enough to be his children? Laughable, but put a gun in his hand and it is deadly.
THIS is the real issue, not politics, not religion, not even mental illness. Guns. Sorry, NRA, MORE guns are not the solution. "Rounding Third, Carrying an AK-47, and Headed for Home" ???????? NO, NRA. LESS guns is what is needed.
I am a Sanders supporter, who voted for Hillary. Senseless Violence, be that against a Democrat, Republican, Black Churchgoers, or School Children.
Eliminate the MEANS, and the Motive becomes Moot.
How do you propose to eliminate the guns? It's impossible! There are 300-400 million of them in the US alone. You think drug cartels are bad now? Wait until we give them a brand new black market. It will make Prohibition look like tiddlywinks. It is never going to happen.
But did you notice a guy with a gun stopped the bad guy today?
We are given 3 basic rights under the Constitution -
Right of Free speech
Right to bear arms
Right to vote
Just make the procedures to exercise those rights the same for all 3. Want more restrictions on right to bear arms? Go ahead, but restrict right to vote and right of free speech in the same way.
When you read these threads, it is clear that many folks abuse the free speech thing every day....
No, the Bill of rights has 10 different rights established. I as an individual have more rights than speech, fire arms, and voting (which is not even in the bill of rights and is introduced later).
And no, even if a constitutional amendment were put in place to alter the 2nd amendment to legally allow limitations on it, the language of such an amendment would have to specifically include voting and speech, which would alter the 1st, 15th, 19th, 24th, and 26th, in addition to the 2nd, which that on it's own would likely not pass the amendment process, let alone adding 5 others.

Yah. A POLICEMAN did. We're good with them having guns.
This ridiculous rhetoric of a 'good guy with a gun' has led only to more violence in the violent USA.
I wonder if the shooter considered himself a 'good guy' when he purchased that gun?

He was a trained professional who is SUPPOSED to have a gun. Big difference!!!

Yeah, good luck with that. What part of the right of the people to bear arms shall not be infringed is confusing?

A LEO whose JOB it was to do that, not a private citizen with a gun.

Not really an issue for him, as he moved to Australia......yet he still feels the need to insert his two cents into our business.
