I hope we all agree that we have a natural right of self-defense.

I think it's on topic to point out the people who enjoy death threats. Don't you? I've had Ronald hoping I die, wishing I was in a plane crash. It's very inconsistent, in my view, to hate getting death threats yet calling people who take pleasure in it your hero.

Going through life afraid of your own shadow sounds pretty miserable to me.
Does anyone else find it slightly amusing to read the resident of rural Oregon lecturing the resident of urban Chicago about the dangers of the criminal element?
Having never met either of them, if the Oregonian, armed with a five inch knife, and the Illinoian, armed with a 5 iron, had to fight, I'd bet on Rodney Dangerfield.
Rural folks need to be armed to the teeth. So many vicious Bambies out there.
Somebody has to fight back, and control the exploding deer population.

It's true. I feel bad enough already that I don't kill them. You're just making me feel worse.
Just like that Rabbit in the Monty Python movie -- "He's a Killer."
That doesn't sound crazy a'tall. It's kinda' the point of the second amendment.
In the U.S. cops aren't welcomed inside without a warrant.

Sorry, I'm the OP on the topic. I hate to see friends go after one another in my topic. It makes me responsible. I think there are plenty of topics right now about Gaza, and a great discussion about gun rights in America in the Tirades and Vendettas group forum.
My hope in this topic was to high-light call attention to some viscious trolls we have on the site. Not to cause arguments.
You are the OP. So what?

I'm glad (maybe some of you think sad but I don't particularly care) but I'm glad and lucky I live where I don't have to think twice about going to the shops or the theatre or out on the town for fear of being shot. I'm moving to live near London soon, I hope I still feel the same in a year's time.
Where's the disagreement? I don't fear being shot, and I'm glad about it too.

Hoping isn't a strong argument.

Next time you are in line at a convenience store, look behind you. What if the person behind you intends to rob the store, hold you hostage if things go wrong?
That's a fairly contrived situation. Ten times more likely is that the robber standing behind you in line will wait for you to exit the store, rob the clerk afterwards, and use the single clerk as their hostage rather than having 2 unknowns instead of one to worry about. Put yourself in a robber's shoes...
WHAT WOULD YOU THINK OR DO???
Well, logically, I would more than likely hear the screams as I was either opening the door to exit or even after I had exited. So guess what? GUNS UP. Any more dumb questions, Mr. B*** Tickler?
No, you were the robber in this scenario...try to keep up. You'd have been one mighty dumb robber to initiate your robbery as a customer is exiting/within earshot and able to easily get away and contact the authorities (the correct response, by the way, not going back in with guns blazing and no notification to anyone at all), too.
Good night.
Are you for real??? Did you not read the part about me NOT BEING THE ROBBER, but instead the guy who stands up AGAINST him, or are you dyslexic or suffer from selective listening/reading??? Take your meds, kiddo. You seem to be about two degrees off of plum. (Go ahead, look up on Google what that means. We can wait, little fella)

NomadicKnight - my state is so anti-gun it's crazy. No open carry. For all purposes, they block almost all concealed carry permits.
It's nuts, and people wonder why schools, malls and theaters become kill zones.
"Kill zones", lol. Are you living in Honduras or what?
People in states where firearms are banned altogether like UK, France, Spain, Italy, etc. are not living in fear, neither do they get robbed more often.
I must emphasize again that where I live only weirdos carry knives for self-defense, when it would be actually the smart thing to do if you were to be aggressed every time you go shopping.
UK, France, Spain, Italy, etc. are not "states". They are countries. Try and get it right before you spew your ignorant comments about how these COUNTRYmen are safer without guns. Then hop yourself onto Google and reasearch the London riot. Tell me, just how safe were the citizens there when the British police had nothing more than WHISTLES AND BATONS to wave at the rioters and had to wait for military forces to respond??? Hmmm???

That's insane that you're willing to shoot a person over less than a hundred dollars. No convenience store has more that than in their register.
The policy of all major retail outlets, banks, and gas staions, along with many minor independent ones when robbed is to not resist the robber because this is statistically far safer and cheaper!
Yes, but try and tell the robber he is insane. He doesn't care one iota that he's only getting a hundred bucks. That's just one more bag of cheap tar heroin to him.
Last time I checked, robbers didn't possess a reputation of being sane. They're often desperate and look at you as an obstacle to achieving their end profit.

Only 600 dead ?? Dam, I hope Hamas keeps firing rockets. We can get that number up to a thousand before the end of the week.
RonaldJosephCote
I hope thousands of Palestinians get killed. What's your humanitarian stance??

I'm saying nuke em now, kill 1 billion, and they'll be quiet for 100 years. You use nukes to save lives.
