Can I disarm them while I am investigating?

Thanks.

We elect a sheriff to place them in jail until trial.

Everything else is the wealthy elite, protecting their fortunes.
Living like that...like you are constantly in a war-zone...is bad for your health. That mental strain increases stress hormones, causes changes in the brain (esp. in children) and can have long-lasting effects on your heart health among other things.

All these gun-fans should spend twenty minutes a day in meditation, trying to become more calm. It would do them all the good in the world...and the rest of us as well.

Great response, now why not tell us why I'm wrong?

Never mind, I'll answer for you:

Because you kow it was correct, what I stated and had no legit response...

So, anyway, I'll still entertain a response from you...go ahead...

Why do you have to "spruce" things up? "WAR ZONE"....

Isn't that what you anti gunners are saying anyway? Get rid of all the guns because there have been so many blood baths....

Situational awareness is a good thing, no matter if you are drinking beer in your house or at a swimming pool...

How do they carry the AR15 ?.. Are they coming back from the range and the gun is on the back ?. Is the barrel pointing down ?.. Is the gun barrel pointing at you ?.. Than it's too late, play their game. Do not use your fire arm unless you want to die..

From reading his post, I gather quite the opposite of what your stating. There is nothing wrong with being prepared and aware of your surroundings.

Agreed … if you live in Kabul or Beirut.

This used to be America. We shouldn't have to live like that. Thanks, gun nuts.

No...thank you to assorted liberal think tanks that treat violent criminals as victims. Thank you politicians on both sides for allowing violent criminals to pour across our borders. Thank you revolving door justice system for allowing predators who should be locked in a dark cell forever back out among us. And finally thank the criminals themselves for just being what they are and doing what they do.
