Quote from: Pyraxis on December 28, 2012, 01:17:23 PMGuns allow people who are physically weak to defend themselves against violence. That gives an advantage to small people, women and the elderly.Hey, I fit all 3 categories. Icanhazgun?Seriously, if I was to use a gun I would shoot to kill. I decided that was the way to handle intruders. And before anyone says, "You don't know what you'd do in a real situation," I've spent years reaffirming that decision. There is no doubt in my mind. I don't own a gun, but PA has a gun and bullets (separately stored) and I thoroughly intend to take shooting lessons when he dies. Taking them while he's alive is too tempting. "But officer, I thought an intruder was lying next to me."

Frankly I find the lame argument that rednecks need guns to keep the guvment in check to be fucking hilarious. The government has tanks, strike fighters, and hellfire missile equipped robots that roam the skys. If the gumment wants to repress you, your piddly Bushmaster won't make one bit of difference.

Explain Syria.Small arms and homemade explosives are doing a fairly decent job against a trained army there.It may be an insurance policy to some, but it is a control thing to me. I simply take issue with someone telling me I cannot own something.
14:10 - Moarskrillex42: She said something about knowing why I wanted to move to Glasgow when she came in. She plopped down on my bed and told me to go ahead and open it for her.14:11 - Peter5930: So, she thought I was your lover and that I was sending you a box full of sex toys, and that you wanted to move to Glasgow to be with me?

Not beccause I think a society with guns is better than a society without (I'd much prefer to carry on living in a country with strict gun control than a country with laws similar to those in the US). But I know the situation over there isn't as simple as taking them away. It's a culture thing. I find it hard to get my head round how so many americans are big on guns and how so many seem to almost value their right to bare arms more than anything else. All I can say is I'm glad my little brothers aren;t going to schools where there are armed guards at the doors incase a kid comes in and shoots the place upYes, it is a difference in culture mate, which is fine. Most Americans don't like being walked all over by the ruling class, that's why we want a way to fight back if push came to shove. Your people were apathetic when the ruling class disarmed you, now i'm worried you won't have a chance to stand up to them when they start being bigger dicks than they are now.

Ok so the guy in the video is pro-guns and black. Wow. You've totally convinced me of.... nothingI watched about half of it and thought it was bollocks. I've never shot a gun so I can't be in favour of gun control? I may be wrong on gun control, but I'm definitely not a hypocrite on it, so not sure what your point is.
What did you post it for then? To show that some black people like guns too? I kinda new that - I listen to hip hop
