Guns Go Bang! - C&C

[camz]

Whats wrong with your hands thats all i have ever used or a headbut when i was attacked by 5 youths about 6 months ago the one with the loadest mouth got it first second got a punch and the other 3 ran off

That's unfortunate but good for you Gary.

I took Krav, MMA and Muay Thai for a long time and the funny thing is that the best defense martial arts actually taught me was to stay away from situations like that, I've never had a physical altercation in long time.

I'm a collector of firearms because I appreciate its mechanical characteristics and history. Will I use it if someone breaks in the house, probably not. I think I'll end up calling the cops first as I don't really have any bullets..lol- I only buy when I go to the range to cater for my perception of safety.

It's just unfortunate that stupid people that own guns gives anybody who practices the 2nd a taboo type of stereotype. I honestly blame that on the loose restrictions. I think to qualify for one, a psych evaluation has to be performed as it's just too much power to have a firearm and be given to somebody who just isn't capable.

I used to do Shotokan for 10 years it teaches you discipline, but in the early 80's i had a 12 bore for clay shooting never touched one since i got a motorbike

*bow* :thumbup:

Had to laugh at this one because, yes, to me, guns in the US are 90% d*ck extensions. My gun is longer than yours type of thing. :lmao:

It's actually the opposite, my AR15 is shorter than yours. lol I own guns because crazy people like the Brady Campaign.

NO, it's not. I don't have one so it can't be longer than yours...

As for crazies I'll take the Brady ones (wait, didn't you say Brandy earlier ) over yours any time. Words won't kill me.

NO, it's not. I don't have one ...

And you know how gun owners compare guns? lol

I probably did say Brandy... lol I'm not your typical gun owner stereotype, old/white/rural area/Republican/religious.

Interesting that after the 2010 Chinese School attacks, "some local police authorities have distributed such instruments as steel pitchforks and pepper spray to security guards in schools." Imagine that!!! Using a weapon to defend against violence from others!!! An instinct as old as humankind...and one so many do-gooders would like to prohibit others from doing. Those who tell you that you have no right to protect yourself and your family, but instead need to depend on others to protect you have a rather odd point of view.

It's important to keep in mind that not all of us live in the cesspool that is the Baltimore, Maryland area...

Thank you Derrel for another one of your wonderfully and totally loony post.

I've spent many nights in that "cesspool" without a gun and, OMG, I'm still alive. I also lived in what was the murder capital of the US (DC, remember DC? A few miles south of the cesspool) for over 20 years, walked all over the place, lived in different parts of it and had a studio in one of the BAD areas and... OMfG, I'm still alive.

Really, truly amazing considering I never carried anything more than my photo gear. Go polish some of your lenses

True believers can't be swayed by facts; they are irrelevant unless the facts can be cherry picked to support their own prejudices. Bring up a confirmable fact that refutes a point and the true believer switches to something else.

Gun worshippers and religious zealots share the same behavior patterns.

Since we're dealing with facts, some interesting court cases: Warren v. District of Columbia and District of Columbia v. Heller.

they also can't resist trying to justify their prejudices against observable facts.

Ahhhh.... off to find a photography forum. :meh:

You, I, The President of the US, and the rest of the law abiding citizens in the US have to follow these laws. These re not statistics that you can brush aside or manipulate for donations. Case laws are case laws, like it or not you have to accept the facts.

Get over it people! These are all opinions and no one is going to have there mind changed over an internet forum! I dont like drunk drivers so every drunk driver should never be able to drive again ,or thieves they should have to have there fingers cut off, Personally if some moron breaks in my house at night I plan on shooting him to protect my family but hey thats just me. Others would rather get robbed or rapped... Seriously Im proud to live in America where I can defend myself, but does that make me better or right? No! Its what you are accustomed to, how you were raised , and the religion you believe in that drives these feelings...

Lets move on...

Sometimes, just sometimes, you lot manage to surpass yourselves with childishness....

Seriously does every photo that has a gun in it warrant such childish behaviour - seriously grow up.....

You idea of what might be important might be different than mine.
Dropping in to say that my behavior, as part of this group, is childish can be construed as patronizing and even rude.
Perhaps you should go care about things that you care about - wherever that is.
