13. Riddiculous

Turn people into murderers? Even if she could handle a gun with any speed and accuracy, it's still no guarantee. What if he's got a gun? She could get herself killed, not only raped. Or end up facing murder charges and living with having killed someone.

Escalation of such a volatile situation is stupid.

Living with being raped is better than protecting ones self?

Living with being raped is better than protecting ones self? 

It is for the DUmmies. Being raped adds a victim class status, which is consistent with their worldview. Being responsible for one's own protection, and refusing to be a victim, threatens everything they believe in.

PhDD is a perfect example of that. She calls herself a feminist (although she refuses to acknowledge the greatest single tool of female empowerment), and brags about hiding from gunfire on her block, because she can play the "victim card" twice over.

She hates the tool of her liberation from fear, because it would force her to confront her failure to take responsibility for her own life.

DUmmies;

Blame the rapist for committing rape (and rightfully so)

Blame the gun for violence where a gun is used (because they're stupid)

Blame the homeowner (victim) if they are burglarized and a firearm is stolen because it wasn't in an impenetrable safe

Do I have that about right?

Conservatives;

Blame the rapist for committing rape

Blame the person who pulled the trigger where a firearm was used to commit a violent act

Blame the person who broke into the home and stole the unsecured firearm

I KNOW I have that right.

I'm seeing a pattern of personal responsibility on one side and only a tiny shred on the other.

I am going to stick this on here as I don't expect the thread or its author to be too long for the DUmp anyhow.  I did note this is also in their gun dungeon with a couple typical DUmmy replies.

New Poll: Britain wants its guns back


Last Friday the Daily Telegraph, Britain's most widely read broadsheet newspaper, issued an online poll asking members of the public which proposal they would like to see introduced as a Private Members' Bill in the UK's Parliament.

Private Members' Bills are introduced by Members of Parliament or Peers who are not government ministers.

The choices include term limits for Prime Ministers, a flat tax, a law to encourage the 'greening' of public spaces and the repealing of Britain's hand gun ban. Following the Dunblane massacre in 1996, in which 16 schoolchildren were killed, Parliament passed The Firearms Act of 1997, which essentially banned handguns for the atrocity.

But Britons seem unconvinced by the law. The proposer, known as "Colliemum" asked, "...why should only criminals be 'allowed' to possess guns and shoot unarmed, defenceless citizens and police officers?"

While the poll continues, so far over 80 percent of the 11,000+ respondents have told the Telegraph that they want to see the handgun ban repealed. The news comes as America contemplates its own new laws on gun ownership, with British talk show host Piers Morgan claiming to back a UK-style ban for the United States.

Yo dummies... you can disarm yourself all you want just DO NOT try to disarm me.

Some fool wants to break into my house or cause harm to me and mine... his life expectancy just dropped to zero. The thugs around here know that cause everyone around here is armed. There is not much crime in my neighborhood. Now we do get the occasional vandalism and shed/car break in, usually teens and meth heads, but home invasions just really do not happen around here.

Much the same here, Perky.  We have MORE than our share of meth labs here, and still, the only home invasions here are homes WAAAAAAAAAAAAAY the heck out in the boonies, and the owners are usually at work or on vacation.

I have a sign posted at my gate, it has a picture of a gun on it, with the words:  "WE DON'T DIAL 9-1-1!" 

Keeps salesmen and Jehovah Witnesses away, too!

I mean, if teabaggers expect us to accept the argument that a pharmacist (or any health care provider) should not be forced to violate their consciences in providing medicine or services (because they believe in the sacredness of human life), then certainly they must accept the argument that some people, based on the sacredness of human life, should not be forced to rely on owning their own gun for self-protection?

Hold on a minute......

Let me re-read that about ten times to makes sure I have the full retard experience.  'K, done.


Are you f*cking stupid? (I ask rhetorically)  Who is forced to own and/or rely on a handgun/riffffle for anything?  I take it you bestest, smartestest helmet children on the short bus can look up the word "choice" and understand the meaning, right?  Even the three or four towns that enacted "shall own" legislation did it for one reason only.  To drive you nuts (It's working!!)  They are not enforced nor were they ever meant to be.

Choice?  Freedom of?

Ringing any bells in that empty cavern you call a cranium?  Even if you were forced to go buy an M-2HB and set up a position on your porch (Hmmmm.....come to think of it....   )  No one says that your are forced to use it.  Hell, make a     out of it!!  Listen idiots.  I would be delirious  with unbridled joy, watching each and every one of you drooling infants defend yourselves with your bare hands (OK, let me stop laughing first before I continue).

Knock your conscientious selves out.  Post up some bouncy gold of you defending yourselves against hordes of variously motivated attackers and please don't forget the clapping, cheering crowds.  Those are so special.

Yo dummies... you can disarm yourself all you want just DO NOT try to disarm me.

Precisely.  As it is my right to pack seriously lethal firepower, it is your right to be a wandering target.  

Knock.  Yourselves.  Out.  But then, you people really don't even frequent those types of people or those areas, do you?  No.  You don't.

They don't care about rapists.

They're OK with rape, The Kennedy KKKlan, Julian Assange, Roman Polanksi.

Ahem.......
