People SHOULD be able to defend themselves from a physical attack. If you are too WEAK, that's not MY problem.

I'd have to agree that guns do show weakness and inability, as well as paranoia or obsession.

How nice to think you believe those who need a firearm for protection are paranoid or obsessed.

Law of the jungle.

In the jungle, even WITH a gun, animals can kill you.

You think we don't still live in a concrete jungle? Take off your rose colored glasses.

You CAN shoot someone, and NOT kill them...so if you don't kill me, I will kill you.
