So there we have it, this reaffirms part of the reason that we Americans have the Second Amendment of the Constitution of the United States. It is there to tell the government that we have the right to protect ourselves -- especially when the government, Federal, State, County, or City governments, cannot or will not do so, or even threatens us if we do.

Yes. That is what the 2nd Amendment was/is about.

I don’t know what is more pathetic. The leftists that want disarmed sheep to be ravaged by the wolves; or the countless people who allow them to have their way.
So incredibly disgusting.

Is a car an armed weapon?

Guy kept breaking sister’s heart over and over and then she came home from a date crying with the left side of her face red.

I picked up my friend joe and drove my nova through his store’s awning and told him i’d kill him if he called or touched her again.

Those novas were solid cars.

Agree.

What is amazing to me is that for over 150 years the failure of Socialism has been documented. Bastiat did a great job in 1849 of nailing it. And since then the millions of deaths that are a result of Leftist Totalitarianism is past belief. And they still persist in forcing that slavery on everyone else.

Totalitarianism is EVIL!

It is where nations go to die.

Is a 1oz deer slug from a 12 gauge a “stun” gun?

I’d think it would stun the hell out of someone.

True, but they were subject to unexpected and random steering problems. For example, I'm sure you didn't mean to steer your car into his store (just providing some cover for ya, if needed).

I bought my first new car in 1971 after coming back from overseas. Cost $2700 and change for a 1972 Nova 2 dr 350 coupe.

Unfortunately, I got shipped out overeas less than 6 months later - didn’t see it for a few years.

I was in Australia a couple of months ago, you could panic people if they saw you carrying a simple Leatherman in a belt case. Loved the country hated the social indoctrination of the sheeple. If i were to go back someday i would spend all my time building totally concealed defensive and offensive devices. James Bond type of stuff.

If America came to the same conclusion of that poor country i guarantee that several hundred million people will start carrying sword canes, gas propelled shark darts, taser style gloves, green laser personal blinders aimed to disorientate physical attackers, new age body armor designed to react to knife attacks.

It would be a massive culture shift to get around the absense of guns, quite frankly with the freedom of creativity it would actually make for more effective weapons, so let them ponder that, just leave it alone.

But of course these political addicts won’t, they fully realize how to use it for building the staircase to their personal thrones.

Unfortunately, she’s living in the wrong state if she wants to protect herself.

“I believe my sister should carry a stun gun “

Why wouldn’t you advise her to defend herself using the most lethal weapon possible (legally, of course)? There are plenty of compact firearms and confidence comes to a woman who can defend herself. The magnitude of the threat should determine the ferocity of the defense.

But, the Supreme Court did not agree and instead said that the Heller precedent rejected the proposition "that only those weapons useful in warfare are protected."

The Claymores in my bushes are perfectly legal?

The incident is in MA. They have Unconstitutional insane gun laws.

Yes, I think a nice 380 is better. For most women. Some have aversion to gun.

I think even 9mm is under powered in some circumstances. Depends on how it is loaded.

Yes, I agree. I have no tolerance for those who mistreat their wives and girl friends.

I’ve been married to the same woman 45 years.

Agree totally.

Eventually lethal short range lasers will be developed. Power source is the issue. It would be easy enough today to blind an attacker with a laser. But that is a lawsuit magnet if you survive.

Claymores? Not very concealable on your person.

I agree with the court’s reasoning on that one.

I’ve always wanted a 22 mag pen gun. I know they are outlawed under the BATF rules, but they would be cheap, concealable, effective and easily homebrewed.

Yes, she is clearly living in the wrong state. That would be the first and most effective action to protect her, move.

On April 18th 1775, a force of British Redcoats set out to seize a cache of military style assault weapons from the Massachusetts colonists. Fortunately, the Redcoats failed. The flintlock rifle was the military style assault weapon of its day.

Free men have the right to bear arms, slaves do not. That is one of the differences between free men and slaves.
