If I were asleep and a window was sliding open in my bedroom I would first advise them (in a loud manner) to leave in less than five seconds. If they continued I would have no choice but to fire or lob a hand grenade (lol). If I awoke to the sound of feet hitting the floor sorry no warning I would shoot first. I have no way of knowing if the perp has a weapon and that alone is the reason for shooting first. The problem with many gun control advocates is they have never been mugged thieved or lived in a high crime hi' violence area. I have. So weapons are my friend. Other reasons I don’t fear weapons and look on them as tools is that I am ex military American and have had a cc permit for nearly a as decade due to having on person large sums of cash (my vending route), I feel much safer to have a weapon at hand in any of these 'activities'. Now if I were going to the park in the middle of town I would not feel the need to pack, still I would not want to have my RIGHT to pack infringed upon. And that is another thing that most UK gun control advocates haven’t a clue of... why (our constitutional) rights are important to many Americans. reva
If you open your mouth you're telling them where you are. Why would you do that? Where I live, simply that someone was sliding your window open and trying to enter is grounds to blow their heads off, and rightly so.
You've never seen people talk about the 2A being "god given" and superseding the Constitution? You've never seen people use the "swords to plowshares" reference in relation to the firearm debate?
I once heard someone say "Those who beat their swords into plowshares end up doing the plowing for those who don't."
I agree that the bible has as much credibility as thin air, and I agree that the 2A is solely from the BoR... Neither of these facts is relevant to the point made.
That's nice but the Founding Fathers didn't see it that way. They cited God openly in their writings. IN CONGRESS, July 4, 1776. The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America, When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation. We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.
This is Texas. I keep my EDC by my bed. My Mossberg 500 is also nearby. My dogs will wake me and slow them down enough to be ready for them. I live in a neighborhood with a lot of space between houses. I can't depend on my neighbors for security, but we do watch out for each other and often call each other if we don't recognize somebody.
They also ensured that religious belief couldn't be legislated and wrote that the US was not founded on Christianity... So what's your point?
Federal ‘Biosurveillance’ Plan Seeking Direct Access to Americans’ Private Medical Records
I find it appalling that the Libs want not only their medical records to be stored by government, but they want yours as well. The article bodes ill-will for sure.
You mean analyze gun violence as if it killed as many Americans as a disease? Maybe that's because it does. Duh.
LOL, you have no idea what you are talking about and when Democrats tried this last time they got shut down because of the way they wanted to use it. Nothing like using 'disease' to shut down lawful ownership of guns.
I have a rifle in the closet next to my bed, but I don't snuggle up with a gun when I go to sleep at night. That's why I have a wife.
You mean the way it was feared they would use it... An appeal to motive fallacy which illustrates knowledge that the resulting data would be damning.
Once again, you seem to be asserting that all administrations are the same... Would you similarly assert that the Reagan and GW Bush priorities were identical? Would you also deny that Reagan spoke in favor of gun control? Besides, you don't seem to be able to deny that any serious study of gun deaths would be damning... What kind of person goes out of their way to hide the truth to promote something they know to be harmful?
Progressive administrations, specifically democrats, appear to be focused on making it hard for law abiding citizens to buy what they want. In that regard, the Clinton administration and the Obama administration are much the same in sentiment. Clinton with the ill fated assault weapons ban and pumping up the CDC to make guns an illness, Obama making it difficult for gun manufacturers to get financing, shutting down their credit lines, executive orders, requiring doctors to ask about guns, which will go into a national database, and also wanting to pump up the CDC to make guns and illness.
As a conservative, I do. I approved of the Patriot act initially, in the heat of 9/11, but have been against the renewals of it.
