Would you put the "L" over or under the dot that's already there?

Liberals in my family say they don't need a gun. In a situation where they might ever need one they say they would call 911 or, if need be, defend themselves with use of a baseball bat.

Yes, they are that stupid.

Well, it may have been a fake gun, but the robber was also wrestling with him, and the intended victim was pushed over backward. So I think he had a right to defend himself even if the robber hadn’t had a fake gun.

Has anyone seen the Quannell X police training report? He has a whole new attitude on police shootings.

In one exercise a guy with a baby in his arms rushes toward him pointing a knife. Quannell shot the guy. He was asked when he saw the knife. Quannell said “To be honest, I never saw the knife. I just knew he pulled something from his pocket. It could have a lolly pop and I’d have still used force. And everyone would be saying I killed a man because he had a lolly pop.” You can see it www.click2houston.com

Didn’t mention where he got the tattoo but it seems to be by Smith and Wesson——and it’s sometimes called a one-shot inking. Dammed effective in any case. A 38 caliber starting point is enough to change the conversation from “stick em up” to “hold still, dammit, while I reload.” Wonder if the Grand Kenyan will issue the requisite Medal of Freedom.?

A friend of mine lived in a sketchy neighborhood. When I told her I hoped she was careful and didn't sleep with her windows open she showed me her plastic hand gun. I had thought up to then that she was an intelligent woman.

I have a husband, no telling how many guns in our bedroom, four dogs and a good alarm system. She had nothing but a plastic toy gun. I feel pretty safe.

Good day at the office—the the perp was DRT-—I love a good ending. The taxpayers of PA have been spared yet another stupidly expensive defense of the indefensible.

Yes, they are that stupid.

Is worse than stupidity - it's knowing, deliberate, spiteful contempt for the truth.

YMMV, but for me, the meaning of the word "family" doesn't include that. In fact, for me, the meaning of the word "family" specifically excludes people who act like that towards me - on ANY subject.

And I don't give a damn who begat whom.

2-3 times to be sure the threat is neutralized.

sometimes they’re just grazed or dazed. sometimes they play dead or pretend you got them when you didn’t.
