I really like these answers! Use logic on the grabbers. It gets them foaming at the mouth. Highly entertaining! š«

Thanks!
Another 'reply,' btw, is "So, did Rosa Parks NEED to sit in the front of the bus, too?"
In studying the debates surrounding the adoption of the second amendment, one finds that it wasn't written so that we could put meat on our tables. It was written so that citizens could take up arms against a government that ceases to follow the balance prescribed by the Constitution, and that becomes tyrannical.
The question is, who gave anyone the authority to ask?
This is the only reason that is required. I refuse to reply to petulant demands for justification from irrational lefties.

I've only had one occasion to use one in the United States but I'm glad I had it and yes, I would use it without hesitation. I'm 72 and no one gets the chance to assault me which is what the issue was without endangering themselves..
Even if you ask them the hard questions, like "should a woman allow herself and her daughter to be raped rather than defend herself with a gun?" they will, if you push them to the wall, say "yes. there is no excuse for citizens to have guns."
I'm so furious that WE'RE going to get what THEY deserve.
If so, there is no excuse needed but there are reasons. I'm sure I speak for many when I say I have no desire to have to use it for protection but I will without hesitation.
If they're starting with the premises that guns could be effectively banned from criminals and safety from crimes is more important than liberty, they could argue that having the gun is more risk. Every day you have a gun, there's a tiny chance of it falling into the wrong hands and/or some kind of accident/mistake. Most people go their whole lives without being in a situation in which they could use a gun to stop a crime. So the sum of the daily risk of having a gun ready are greater than the benefit of stopping an unlikely crime.
I know the premises are wrong. I'm just saying how advocates of control of people who keep and cary guns think.
This argument will never be resolved. Each and every generation will have to take it up in turn as they have since the invention of the gun or any other martial device or training.
"Most people canāt think, most of the remainder wonāt think, the small fraction who do think mostly canāt do it very well. The extremely tiny fraction who think regularly, accurately, creatively, and without self -delusionā in the long run, these are the only people who count." āRobert A. Heinlein

Notice how gun control supporters downvote but never speak up about why they disagree.
In 1969 I was drafted. The Marines taught me to shoot.
For seven years beginning in 1973, I received death threats due to crime stories I wrote for a newspaper in a dry country full of bootleggers.
I bought my first pistol in 1973.
Now I like to keep a shotgun within reach by my bed. For the same reason provided in the picture.
because I have a large penis." then, see
if either she or he walks away. . someone
with decent respect would just say, "Great!" -- j
Omg unexpected comment, hahahaha
N.B. there is no parallel for women's body parts, any of them. sorry 'bout that.
Guns tend to keep criminals more honest; and that includes politicians.
I went in and got my battery and left. The boss was in a hurry to see his girlfriend (soon to be his wife) so he didn't find out about the dent until the next day. The news people never did find out who I was, and maybe that was why it was on the news so long. I put the battery away and poured myself a cup of coffee, but for some reason it kept shaking out of the cup.
Whoa. Adrenaline. Well done.
I can't imagine that you had more than a few sips in that cup before you had a chance to have any...
Very brave. My hat is off to you.
Can't protect yourself from burglars and thieves including those who devalued the buying power of our money.
Can''t protect yourself from muggers and rapists that's a police function.
So what to do?
Move. Vote against the government party, don't donate anything, contribute nothing. Vote against any increase in fees or taxation an for repeal of same - and vote for anything that re-re-empowers citizens such as recall, none of the above and more.
Move to where you don't need a weapon to survive. Yes Virginia there are such places.

Try reading the whole Constitution or even just the whole Second Amendment. It says nothing about what you want. It says everything about the reason for allowing citizens to be armed including what they are expected to do in exchange for that privilege. That's called responsibility.
Moot point. While some were out doing that others flushed our country down the drain. What I suggested is the last raggedy vestiges of what you have left and what you can do at the local level. While you can still take those actions.
Practically speaking? The Constitution was worth fighting for the citizens? Get real.
Show me a Constitutional Centrist otherwise I'm part of the undervote.
"Why?"
"I'm afraid of them?"
"Why aren't you afraid of your car then?"
"What? Because I took training to learn how to drive it."
"Exactly!"
