I do not think any of us would ever want to take up arms against our government, but being armed is one of the things that prevents us from ever needing to do that.

Ideally, we never even want to feel that we are being governed by anyone at all. What we want is for the groups of people we elected ...

Thanks, I corrected it. Mind not fully engaged I guess.

During my school years, back when dinosaurs roamed the earth, and the Gods were many, we were taught that guns were an important part of our checks and balance system of governing America.

Our forefathers did not want this nation to end up like those in Europe, where the people were governed by the ...

This is a video that was made 49 years ago.. it is well worth watching. He wrote it....before he was President...no speech writers.

What I am trying to prove is that most all of us would meet force with equal or greater force. The answer to that, on this forum, is a no brainier, same on the paratroopers forum.

However, pilots and picture framers, maybe not. Surprisingly pilots and picture framers so far, for the most part, are ...

I posed the exact same question on three other boards.

A pilots forum

A paratroopers forum

A picture framers forum.

Try to stay within the bounds of the scenerio, answer as best you can with the intel given. Remember, this is a hypothetical situation.

A crazy looking character is walking toward you, he is about twenty five feet away when you first notice him. He is angry, he is glaring at you, and he is carrying a baseball bat. You do not have a gun.

It matters little what our government might do to stop the mayhem, in the end, whatever action they take will do little or nothing to bring it under control. Our government has a running history of failures in every effort it undertakes, from it's assorted wars on this or that, to it's actual ...

This is a compilation of the worlds murder rates. Note that many nations listed outlaw the private ownership of firearms. This is related to what is now our politicians hottest vote accumulating topics.

Damit, I just spewed my hot chocolate all over my keyboard and monitor.

The way I see it, if we, as a nation, put the likes of Obama up as our leader, not once, but twice, gun owners like ourselves stand little chance of maintaining the status quo.

We have a liberal government, a liberal press, and a liberal education system that has been, and still is, churning out ...

I do not believe that government will allow this opportunity to disarm as many as possible slip through their fingers. If ever there was a better time to disarm America, this is absolutely it.

We will be lucky to be able to own a bolt action single shot 22 cal. rifle when the dust settles from this ...

Our President has made the statement about doing something significant to bring the gun violence in our nation to a halt after the latest carnage.

Myself, I think it is a pretty likely assumption that unless something significant is done, we will see more of these senseless acts of violence ...
