Guns for Groceries

Tyr....I also, like you, at this point, do not own a firearm. Currently I live in
an urban centre. Aside from Gophers, I too do not hunt.

Just curious Tyr, but how would you know (as you claim you've never owned
a firearm) what someone who owns a firearm thinks, or feels, or their mental
or emotional states? This by your own admission isn't "first hand knowledge."
Where is this coming from?

P.S. Do I qualify for "HillBilly Status"? Just curious....

You may aspire to hillbilly status, my friend..........as the King of Hillbillies, I grant you that boon..........may you meet with great success.

Thanks. Spoken like a true redneck hillbilly

Why thank-you. I'm proud to take my place beside all those other hillbilly believers in the right to keep and bear arms.........guys like John Locke, William Blackstone, Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, the United States Supreme Court, the people that wrote the 1689 Bill of Rights, and Robert Heinlein (I thought I'd include one person you might have heard of) :roll:

Coming from someone who's qualifications are minimal, I'm underwhelmed....

Coming from someone who's qualifications are non-existent, I don't give a rat's ass.

Your arguments are specious at best and lack any solid societal trends. Picking bits and pieces out of wikipedia, does not reveal much of a critical or arbitrary mind.

"Societal trends" "Socialital TRENDS"!!!!!! Don't tell me, you took a sociology course, and now you think you know something!!!!:roll::roll::lol::lol:

In 1933, the "societal trend" in Germany was to mark, isolate, rob, and beat Jews.

In 1890 in the South, the "societal trend" was to hang uppity black folk.

In the 1990s in the former Yugoslavia, the "societal trend" was to murder everyone not your ethnicity.

I'm gonna hurt myself laughing.....societal trend........(shakes head)

Your arguments (if you can call them that) reveal an "intellect" incapable of getting past the thinnest veneer of political correctness..........

BTW, those "specious" arguments are made by everyone on the list I gave you above.

If you have a valid argument, please post one. If you want to post "National Enquirer" type diatribes, I'll just skip your posts and debate with the informed

:lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol:

I will take that, from you Sir, as a compliment. Thank You!

Owning a firearm has very little to do with freedom and even less if you are not threatened.

People who own handguns, Automatic or semi automatic rifles are generally people with very low self worth and self esteem. They feel that they need a weapon to somehow prove themselves and end up looking like.... people with very low self esteem and self worth. Quit deluding yourself and stand up on your own two feet

Among the many misdeeds of the British rule in India, history will look upon the Act depriving a whole nation of arms, as the blackest. » Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi

Yes Tyr, "Mahatma" Gandhi said that, he knew of the need for arms, the slaughter in Mumbai just reinforced that veiw. How else could 10 gunmen kill 187 citizens and injure scores more? There was no resistance.

Gandhi may have been eccentric, but he was wise.

And I apologize for infracting you for something that you were quoting. However, to be fair, it looked like you were making a post yourself as it was not "quoted". I also removed the infraction points that I had given you.

Apologies excepted....but I must say I never really considered "hillbilly" to be an insult.

Actually I consider "hillbilly" a compliment, I was one once, and hope to be one again.
