Business owners need to start shooting the animals that are rioting and looting. A few bodies piled up will take care of the problem. Not to mention do society a favor. And here's a clue-that applies to any looter, no matter their skin color.

The revenge factor, is always the forgotten prolonged issue in war.

An eye for an eye, plays out well in human nature.

I know. One of my favorite things is to perch on the rooftop across from a 7-11 and watch for shoplifters. When I see one leaving, I pick him off with my sniper rifle. The best days are when the thief is a child.

Is it that they can't or that they would rather the gun owners not get into a shootout? I would rather they take it and I start over than to lose my life fighting over property when it could have been avoided.

Methink this statement actually shows yourlevel of intelligence. If you're not smart enough to recognize that the behavior of a few people doesn't represent an entire "race" then you've got a lot to learn.

I don't know where you live but it certainly wouldn't hurt to get out and expanding your horizons a bit?

Maybe these store owners are not gun owners? Maybe they don't know trigger discipline and trigger control? When most people talk about killing, they are like virgins talking about sex. Shooting at somebody is really not that easy.

You are allowed to defend your life and property in many states. Most liberal states..... Not so much.
