Longevity is no guarantor against being insulted. I'm insulted almost daily here. ;-) Who knows, I may actually deserve some of it.

I Stand corrected.

Well done. You have proven yourself as a true FReeper and not a troll (trolls never reply back). Nice tagline and welcome to FR again.

I stopped reading at "...violence-mongering simpletons like Ted Nugent...".

Not much point in going further.

The JPFO doesn't seem to agree with that analysis. If every time brownshirts had gone on one of their midnight trips to haul somebody off several of them had been killed, the whole thing could have been derailed.

Exactly. A. Sohzhenitzyn, in The Gulag Archipelago, said just what you have posted. He lamented the fact that the Russain people had not resisted when they had a better chance of winning against the "System".

Once the "System" is in place, it is much more difficult to resist.

Never give up your guns! Armed citizens are the best defense against tyranny.

Hmmm...so a girl getting hit by a stray bullet is the fault of the man who defended his property from a nut? I guess in order to save the children, we shouldn't defend ourselves with effetive tools, is that it? Maybe, just maybe, this wouldn't have happened if it weren't for the criminal in the first place, which is where the blame goes. Charge the criminal since this girl's injury was an unintended result of his aggression.
And the last examples of a little girl's tragic mistake and some stupid retard carelessly firing off guns has nothing to do with those of us with common sense owning them. It has everything to do with people being idiots and not taking proper precautions, like a guy who's dog goes out and bites somebody because he didn't lock it up. Should dogs be banned? No. Quit messing with our Bill of Rights, morons.

It's also a very small price to pay for not having about 50% of all home burglaries being "hot" where the burglar breaks into an occupied house, as regularly happens in England. The English burglaries also are often real home invasions where the burglars capture the residents and force them to disclose security codes.

In the U.S. only about 10% of all home burglaries are "hot" and many of those are accidental, in that the burglar doesn't plan to enter an occupied dwelling. It's not because we're an inherently gentler, more law abiding people; it's because American burglars are justifiably afraid of being shot and killed by their intended victims.

You are right, so let’s take your logic to its inevitable conclusion:
"I weight 220lbs and have a black belt. We are alone. Why don’t you lay down, open your legs wide and let me do my thing….. oh, If you’re male, turn around. Don’t worry it wont hurt that bad. You’ll know when I am done when I spit in your face."

You Sir, enable people to be victims with your attitude.

The twelve million innocents never had a chance against Hitler, guns or not.

Some would think it better to die fighting than be herded off to be worked to death. Obviously you think otherwise.

Of course, then it wouldn't have been called the Holocaust, it would have been the modern Masada.

You can always take one with you

The point is to raise the cost of oppression.

Apology accepted. You'll find that I probably post more things with which I disagree than agree, and usually without initial comment. Welcome to FR.
