Why are you so afraid of those who want guns?

Because tyrants want to control every aspect of freedom loving people? GFY!

“The core assumption is that guns have no useful function.”

I come across many libtard’s who like to entertain the argument that “nobody uses an AR-15 to go hunting with.” Rarely will I engage them in any ‘debate’ since in doing such I might as well try arguing with a dog, but when I do, the first statement I make is “that’s a red herring”.

People want guns because they no longer assume anyone else will protect them, and some suspect those paid to protect them have become the enemy.

This is a perfect reply. Also, Obama could solve the problem by supporting the US Constitution as he swore to do. Do you have faith the democrats support the US Constitution? I do not!

Last line of defense against a government out of control.

That being said, it’s highly unlikely a civilian will survive a firefight with a fully trained and fully armed military force.

Personally, because my bow has a limited effective range.

Perfect.

I can’t be trusted with a gun, therefore you shouldn’t have one.

Compare to the definition of a sweater: something you have to put on when your mother is cold.

two points I would like to make... 1. If the terrorist get to the point where they are killing people in droves, what do you want to bet all those smug self righteous leftists neighbors will either drop over for protection or be the first to go to the terrorists to report you as a gun owner to curry favor?

2. Trump needs to deputize every american citizen that owns a gun and require them to carry them at all times. Truck driving plane flying , gun shooting terrorists would look like a swiss cheese before they did anything....

Never before since 1776 have so many American citizens feared the government so much . This admin. is arming many agencies never before required to have weapons and stock piles of ammo . 0bama has trained 80k UN forces in civil disobedience at US military bases .

When the government fears the people ,, it’s called democracy .

When the people fear the government it’s called Tyranny .

I think the Swiss are required to own a gun for their national defense.

Only a person who’s never fired a gun would say that

I must say I was very pleasantly surprised that private gun ownership in northern Europe may be up to 2/3 that of the Swiss - who are armed to the teeth.

If the survey's numbers are anywhere close to being correct, it means there are 10s of millions of guns available to the people there.

You are really overthinking this. The J.W. Hardin Cliff notes version.... They are a..holes and need to die.

“I never killed anyone who didn't need killing.”

112/100 for the US.

So 100 people in my neighborhood don't have any guns?
