He is right. Cops are not required to protect you. There is no guarantee there. They are required to investigate crimes. There is case history behind this which you are obviously ignorant of. Do some research before you keep spouting off.

you dont understand what I wrote. the police are there for the general populace, not the single individual or group. you could be getting robbed and raped and having already dialed 911 to report the crime in progress and the cops just decide that you are going to be waiting awhile until they respond to you. would you not want the most effective tool you could have in order to defend yourself?

really?

why is it that democrats, liberals and even some moderate republicans always seem to think that the "people" mentioned in the 2nd Amendment is not referring to the individual person, but the "people" in any other Amendment refers to the individual person.

why are they different?

are you just too afraid to admit that you are too biased against a subject that you really have no knowledge of?

Owing a gun in no guarantee that you can protect yourself.

I brought up guarantees, so now I'm arguing that everything is guaranteed? Wow, that's real clever. Read the links posted on the last page, you know exactly what I was referring to.

Give it up man.

I have no idea what you posted, nor do I really care.... You are plain wrong.

All the RIGHTS are based on for being for the Individual.
