I saw on TV that it is very hard to find an adult that is not packing in Alaska--bear country--

Ever wonder why Polar bears never eat penguins???

People shoot guns for amusement, be it target practice or hunting. There are plenty of things in this world that are used to harm people including lasers ... You can't cherry pick just because you happen to like one and not the other.

I think it's silly to own a gun unless your a cop, in the military, F.B.I ect. and one of you said that guns are a last resort, and it will save your life? Honestly? Save your life from what? that's right nothing. We are ordinary people, not in Afgan in a middle of a war.
>implying the police can get there in time when some guy with a ghetto rigged illegal shotgun breaks into your house
>implying the police are required to come at all
>implying killing is bad in every case (ever heard of self defense?)
>implying you can always call the police
>implying someone will always be there to protect you

I'm so tired of this logic....
and guns aren't just for killing. You know yo-yos were invented as weapons, right?

ossumguywill already mentioned some good points. Bad stuff happens. You can see examples of it just by turning on the news. Having a gun gives you the ability to defend yourself. There are plenty of guns in the United States and even if gun were illegal, criminals would be able to get them. What are you going to do if a criminal decides to break into YOUR house or carjack YOUR car? Are you going to call the police and HOPE they show up in time? Police resonse time is pretty good where I live and the police can usually respond within five minutes. Five minutes would be an eternity of that criminal was killing someone or raping someone.

Guns don't necesarily guarantee one's safety. It does level the playing field. In countries where guns are illegal to own, anyone who is physically weaker is a potential victim. If a 250 lb. guy wants to rape a 120 lb. woman, there is little she can to to defend herself. The gun becomes the equalizing force.

You may not buy these arguements, but in EVERY STATE that has issued concealed weapons permits, crime has DROPPED. That means that guns have been used to PREVENT crimes. There are also plenty of stories where people have been injured or accidentally killed with guns. If you are not responsible to own a gun or prevent irresponsible people from gaining access to your guns, then DON'T OWN GUNS.

GOOD points^^^

this is a little off-topic but....

One more reason to avoid using lasers around vehicles and people is laser gun sights..

Most everybody knows lasers are sometimes on a weapon--if they see your laser -dont be shocked if they call the police to report a weapon being aimed at them(w/ a laser) some folks know the response time gets much shorter and the police take the call much more seriously instead of just a laser call. Like the guy who yelled 'FIRE' when he fell in a vat of chocolate-- nobody comes fast if you yell 'Chocolate'!!

Law enforcement is VERY aware of lasers mounted on weapons--a red/green pointer could get you accidently killed --

-one more thing-- if approached by law enforcement --just place your damn cell on the ground and show your empty hands!!! They look WAY too much like a weapon in your hand, especially after dark. Happened again in Houston just a few months ago--

^^^ I agree totally--twice now I somehow negged two of my best friends here--Yobresal and Greenmechanic-:eek:-Avery fixed them for me but a pop up to confirm would help a lot.

I also saw where a member got negged for accidently +repping a fool--IMO negging for that reason is rep abuse anyway.:thinking:


IMHO .. The best way to increase your rep is the old fashioned way---send cash!!!! J/K:D:wave:
