I recall that South Africa has a total gun ban for its citizens. Funny how the criminals were armed.

And they always will be. Do some people not get that criminals don't care if it's illegal?

y local news featured the local rise in home break ins tonight. Most prominent was a criminal defense lawyer telling us how careful we must be in deciding to pull the trigger on such an animal. Better be nice to those thugs or you might get sued into oblivion. I guess if someone breaks down my door while I'm home, I'm going to jail and will be destitute, because my response will be to empty the clip into him.

Remember,"I was just so scared I didn't know what I was doing until the gun wouldn't fire anymore".

"You cannot fight terror and street mobs with letters to your Congressmen. You cannot fight accusations of racism with prayer meetings. You cannot appeal to the goodness of your fellow man when the fellow man despises you for your weaknesses and hacks off the arms and legs of his political opponents."

The author of this piece is REALLY ignorant of American history. At one point or another, the colonies faced all of the problems she talks about. That's why the Second Amendment to the Constitution is there. None of the things she worries about will happen UNTIL the RKBA is eliminated.

Liberals don't get it.....

When MexAmerica is finally a reality you'll see the government actively protecting criminals and putting their boot on the neck of honest citizens.


Isn't that what the Kelo decision was about?

[Little Ray]

Obviously, South Africans are more sensible that most Muslims...

"Isn't that what the Kelo decision was about?"

I reckon you're right about that.

No cop will officially tell you these two rules but you can bet all his family and friends are aware of it.

Another thing that a cop won't tell you, at least not officially: After you've emptied the magazine, empty your bladder (if you haven't done so already). Make sure that this gets noted in the police report.

The perp's lawyer: "Were you really scared for your life?"

You: "I was so scared..."

I wonder what the ACLU or these righteous defense attorneys would say if the flame thrower got mounted to any car in the US.

They'd say the same thing the DMV would say: Nope.

"The number one thing to remember about shooting a criminal in your home, don't shoot him in the back. Number two rule, make sure you kill the bastard. Dead men tell no lies. No cop will officially tell you these two rules but you can bet all his family and friends are aware of it."

IIRC, the new Texas laws let you shoot him in the back. This should be the Law of the Land across the USA.

"Never forget, even for an instant, that the one and only reason anybody has for taking your gun away is to make you weaker than he is, so he can do something to you that you wouldn’t let him do if you were equipped to prevent it. This goes for burglars, muggers, and rapists, and even more so for policemen, bureaucrats, and politicians." — Aaron Zelman and L. Neil Smith, Hope (2001)

More "civilized" people need to figure this one out before things REALLY get out of hand. Sometimes, yes... you do have to kill someone to protect yourself. It sucks, but there it is. Wishing and idiotic laws won't make this little factoid go away.

It's not a huge step from "the government won't enfoce the laws" to "If you don't do it, we will"

[McGavin999]

It's the STONING that makes me suspect something islamic...

Nah, if it was Islamic, they would be stoning the victen, not the rapist.

Whenever we feel threatened or attacked, we shoot and call the police later."

The only way to do it. In South Africa or right here in the USA.
