2. I'd lock my doors.

Joe Biden would just blast 2 holes through your door with a shotgun.

I'm going to lock my doors and have a gun handy.

Another gun nut!

3. i do not know how to use a gun and am not comfortable with guns. so...

i am fine without a gun and more comforted with police out there searching.

I don't know how to use a fire extinguisher and am not comfortable with them, so I am fine without an extinguisher and more comforted with the fire department putting out the fire.

5. Wait, you are going to start shooting

at shadows while swat teams are going door to door?

Good luck with that.

Seriously stupid gun nuttery.

Seriously they have watched way too many movies. Gun owners do not just start spraying bullets everywhere. I swear they think everyone is as stupid as they are and can't be trusted with a dangerous gun.

10. It's funny how the gun nuts so badly want to be the hero

They sleep with guns by their side and many carry their guns everywhere they go thinking there will be a hero moment when they can pull trigger.

Of course the truth is that the hero moment will never actually come. The chances of some terrorist fugitive bomber entering your home are virtually zero.

What usually does end up happening in gun nut homes is that the gun nut or family members have a much greater chance of dying from gun violence simply because the gun is present in the home and not because of an armed intruder.

This idiot watches too many movies too. They can't figure out and have no understanding of how people who own guns think and behave. I seriously doubt many gun owners are looking to be Mr hero. They are just helping to insure that they won't be the ones lying on the pavement having chalk lines drawn around them.

6. I'll trust the police over my shooting ability

or lack thereof. I don't know how to use a gun, and wouldn't trust myself with one, ever.

Good call, you are a DUmmy and I wouldn't trust you idiots with a freaking cap gun, much less a real life one.

9. Without.

I don't need police seeing me with a gun and assuming the worst as they are searching the neighborhood.

I don't need a "murerous" terrorist deciding to take refuge in my home and helping himself to my gun.

I don't need to live in fear.

I'm sure the "muerous" terrorist will see your coexist bumper sticker and move on to your neighbor's house with the pick up truck sporting the NRA sticker.

12. without

I keep a lightweight baseball bat right next to my front door and a knife next to my bed.

Good effin' luck is what I have to say.

Gun, no thanks.

Maybe while the "murerous" terrorist is laughing his ass off over your baseball bat, you can run away.

33. One is seven times more likely to use that gun on the wrong person, or have it used on yourself.

Unless I was a trained law enforcement or military person, I would feel safer without the gun.

I guess it's because I'm a southern boy. A born gun loving redneck. I just can't fathom the DUmmies innate fear of guns. They get the shakes just knowing you have one.

[BlueStateSaint]

Well, I certainly would feel better with the .38 Special in the nightstand . . .

I do every night . . .

I've got one thing to say to you inbred pencil-neck hand-wringing pansies:

 

Don't like it?  Good.  Stay away.

EOM

ERRRR, Dad called them Pecker Necks and I have to agree.  Some of these shaved headed [skinny] men do look like walking dildos.   

[BattleHymn]

I think you're right, vesta.  Pecker necks it is.  I like the sound of that.

People so ignorant and incompetent are safer without a gun. They are the ones that would actually do something stupid, like shoot a kid or their own foot.  If they ever did face a life threatening emergency, they can crawl around begging for their lives, and maybe the bad guy will be too disgusted to actually shoot. Maybe ...
Personally, if something like that did happen to me, I'd greatly prefer dying while attempting to take the guy out rather than begging and crying.

That's the general idea.

Agreed wholeheartedly.

Damn, that's a whole lot of projection.

Actually, I'd be just fine without someone breaking into my home intent on relieving me or my loved ones of property and lives.  But make no mistake, you come into my home with ill intent, you'll be leaving in a box if I have my way.  And while I'll surely feel horrible about having taken a human life, I'll be comforted by the fact that MY loved ones are safer than they were when you came in.

The total lack of intellectual curiosity is another of their hallmarks. Nothing can be evaluated with any other filter than their own 5-7 year old view. IMHO that demonstrates a very low level of intelligence and empathy producing a mentally and emotionally stunted persona. 0bama is the poster child for this type of affliction and why the DUchebags and the MSM (BIRM) always cover for him.

[Airwolf]

It must be a wonderfull world they live in because it sure isn't the one here on Planet Earth. They do know the cops are under no obligation to protect them by the ruling of SCOTUS? I have had to use my gun to stop someone just after they shot another person three times in the back of the head and I was damn glad I had a gun to do it with otherwise that jackass might have shot more people as he made his escape out the front door of the place I was working at. Not a Rambo moment just a fact of what happened when some nutjob takes the law into his own hands and kills someone.

[BattleHymn]

In a SHTF moment, I'd want to know where the liberals are around me.  No sense in wasting good ammunition on someone who is perfectly happy waiting for the cops to show up.

Here is a DUmmy with a gun.

Yes, but a DUmmy would be blaming the gun, not themselves.  At least this guy took responsibility for his actions.

But he was doing a really DUmb act when it happened. Every bit as DUmb as Plaxico Burress.

A .45! That video made my skin crawl. It's amazing he stayed on his feet.
