It could be, until you're facing multiple armed robbers.

And a 10 shot clip would help you how? You would still only be able to get off a single shot. What you would likely do is drop your weapon, raise your hands, and hand over what ever the nice robbers wanted. Unless you are just plain stupid.

And suppose the nice robbers decide to off you anyway. It happens. But hey, if you're ready to die without a fight...

I CC one personal weapon to give me a chance against armed robbery. My AR-15 is available as a member of a well regulated militia.

No gun does not imply no fight. Relying on a brain is virtually always a better strategy than relying on a bullet.

Unless you are too old to run and too old to get your ass whipped.

Here is one good example how [sarcasm]gun control doesn't stop mass shootings[/sarcasm]

Mentally disturbed 44 years old entered a school in The Netherlands and killed 19 kids. Except, it didn't happen because the guy had no access to guns. All he had was 2 kitchen knifes.....and nobody got hurt! See, gun control doesn't work!

Whatcha gonna do when the thug has the drop on you? Which any armed robber is going to have. I'll bet you carry that heater around just dreaming of the day you can be a hero. But the chances are pretty good you'll be a dead hero.

I posted the video earlier in this thread. It will get completely ignored.

Only time video with knifes are used is when they show multiple fatalities, cause then it supports their need for guns.

Sorry for the repost. I just saw it, but your link doesn't work.

Priceless. The youtube video showing school kids fighting back against a man with two knifes has been removed because of YouTube's position on bullying and harassment.

Thanks for the repost!

So people who shoot real guns at human shaped targets and who oppose violence - responsible, good people.

People who shoot fake guns at human (and alien, and robot) targets and who oppose violence - hypocrites.

Interesting.

Remarkable. I was in Tampa, Orlando and Miami quite a lot last year and didn't get mugged or shot once. Must have just dodged that bullet.

It would be bad for me. I guess you can try. I hope you don't shoot by by-standers.

Funny, I drive and walk though Chicago every day (and have done for 30 years) and never needed a gun. Nor do I ever expect to.

Yep, as much as people that are anti-gun try and say it is a big problem, it really isn't. It makes for big news, so it alters our perception of the magnitude of the issue.

I need to change that signature. I was referring to salvation. Probably does not apply to you or your peers. Thanks for bringing it to my attention.

Yeah a mass shooting a day really isn't such a big deal.

But now you're agreeing with the argument that people don't need guns for self defense. I know you don't think that, that was kind of a "gotcha". The point being made is that these guys and most people don't live in the realm of being at risk of gun violence but that doesn't mean they don't want others to be at risk.

Bull. You pack it everyday, you've previously said. Just like putting on your undies in the morning, it's part of your dress routine.

No, I was pointing out the discrepancy in those that want gun restrictions. They do not feel unsafe walking around, but "we have to do something!".

America absolutely does not have to do anything to reduce the number of firearms. You've been doing nothing about it for a long time now, and chances are you will continue to do nothing. A large number of you are emotionally attached to the freedom to have nearly unlimited access to weapons. And it's not really a priority issue for those who disagree.

As I keep saying, America has largely decided to just accept the death toll. After all, it's only the killing of children that attracts much attention anymore. And the chances that it will be your child next is very small. The Vegas killing of 50 or so? It was not long ago and it's already barely mentioned anymore.

Until the ruling class feels threatened America's embrace of the tools of war will continue unabated. Just hope you or your loved one does not become a victim.

The death rate by firearms in America is roughly 5 times that in Canada. A country with fairly liberal gun laws overall. But the truth is that more than half of your gun deaths are suicides. And no one really counts them as victims.

But as you count your arsenal, and your chest swells up with pride as you score a close group on the range, remember. Several people died today who would still be alive if gun restrictions were imposed.

But I know.....Freedom.

Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.

Good catch! Marvin Rosenthal quoted Spurgeon in a recent article.
