MAIG Spokesman: You Shouldn’t Shoot Unless Your Attacker Has a Gun
TTAG ^ | August 06, 2013 | Nick Leghorn

Posted on 08/06/2013 3:17:31 PM PDT by SWAMPSNIPER

The world the people behind Mayors Against Illegal Guns inhabit seems to be mighty black and white. With maybe a slight green tinge to the sky. Mark Glaze, executive director of MAIG, believes that someone should only be allowed to use a gun to defend themselves if their attacker also has a one. In his opinion, the lack of a gun indicates that the attacker “just wants to have a fistfight.” Yeah, well, tell that to the two people per day in this country who are beaten to death with their attackers’ bare hands.

What if someone attacks you with a blow torch...or with a D9 bulldozer...or with a vast of cow manure...or...?????? The MAIG spokesman is a pin-headed moron.

So women or the men who stand about 5’5 130 lbs or less should take the beating from the man who is a foot taller and 50-100 lbs heavier. Yeah, just get in a fist fight with your much larger and stronger attacker. You’ve got an equal chance. (snicker)

Hey, Glaze, you moron. The guy who did this [DO NOT CLICK if you are squeamish - very disturbing image] didn't have a gun. I'll bet the victim sure wished he did. If you need more convincing just search "knife wounds".

I’d rather be judged by 12 than carried by 6.

The granny should assume the hulking brute has no firearm and then engage him in a fist fight where she’d have an equal chance. Under no circumstances should the granny be armed...no knives, tasers, or hat pins either. Hand bags and purses might have to banned as well. Because the cases of 80-90 yr old grannies attacking young, large males has been getting out of hand. (snicker)

The bigger and stronger don’t need guns, unless you have one. In fact, they would likely prefer a gun free society.

Because they can then beat you to death at the time and place of their choosing.

Once again, liberalism is a MENTAL DISEASE.
Everyday we see and read examples of their mental incompetence.
These mental zombies have no business in any position of leadership whatsoever, not even dog catcher. They belong in an ayslum far away from the rest of society. They are insane...to the core...and going to get the rest of us all killed if they have their way.

Hmmm, if a man is going to attack me, his body is a lethal weapon to me right then. I am 5'5” with small bone structure, I am not ham fisted, neither do I have the sinuous long muscle structure as women aren't built like that. Even a big, tall woman is no match when compared to the muscle structure of a man. A man could snap my small wrist in a second.

There is only one equalizing force that will work for a woman. A gun provides me distance from a man. He can live if he stays away from me, but if he comes after me, I have to shoot him if I want to live. I can't afford to wait and see if he just breaks my ribs rather than crushing my head.

This whole idea is nuts. It would go something like this:
“I'm going to attack you but let's set the guidelines for this encounter. I'll break your arm, but since you are right handed, I'll break your left arm so you can still write and throw a ball.”

“Okay, you break my left arm and I'll give you a concussion, but not one that will kill you.”

The fight begins with those rules, but one has just lied and taken a handgun out of his waist and kills the other one, saying before the guy dies, “I lied, you sorry bastard.”

For me, I have no choice but to shoot if it is a man attacker, that's just the way it is.

What if the perp is 6’6” tall and 300lbs. And the ‘victim’ is 5’0” and 110lbs?

As I recall, Ted Bundy never used a gun. Just a tire iron or other blunt object and simply being bigger than the victims.

... and only if both weapons are equally matched and after both parties have walked 30 paces from each other and each has a ‘second’ as a witness ...

You said it, it’s the lib’s never-ending quest to be sure everything is “fair” so they can feel good about themselves and what they believe in.

Well cops have been killing people who they thought had a gun even though they didn’t have one. Then too, they’ve killed obviously unarmed citizens. So if cops can, then .....
