Guns are for cowards
So are seat belts then.
Be brave, ride in your car without seat belts, you coward. Drive with no hands, close your eyes. What are you, afraid?

Plenty of other self-defense products and mechanisms. She could get pretty far with:
A) Being aware and not putting herself in that situation
B) Learn martial arts. Judo is fantastic!
C) Carry a taser of pepper spray.

Gun sales up, crime down. I think it's time you learn how to interpret your graphs.

Kind of like this guy, who breaks leather over a petty argument & fistfight, a fight he started & promptly failed at.
Kentucky man sparks panic in movie theater after pulling gun on child who kicked his seat.
www.rawstory.com...
As the father was winning the brawl, the other man pulled out a gun, asking, “What the [expletive] are you going to do now?”
Whatever permits, writs or government slips that allows this moran(sic)TM to own weapons needs be revoked promptly.
What I always get a chuckle out of are the idiots who feel it necessary to pack AR's or AK's to go grocery shopping.
LOL Anyone paranoid enough to feel they need that kind of hardware on their person all the time is the last person who should have access.

Gun advocates and the NRA
Hmmm ... Midway USA is promoting NRA membership ATM. A lifetime membership normally runs $1,500.00. You can get yours now for just one third the price ... five hundred bucks. That deal only comes around once in a blue moon.
Thanks for reminding me so I could let everyone else know. There are a lot of pro-2nd Amendment folks who read this site.

So let me get this straight:
A cop walking the beat with a gun: coward.
SWAT teams going into a meth lab: cowards.
A soldier going into battle with a gun: coward.
People who man warships or fly warplanes: cowards.
Recipients of the Medal of Honor: cowards.
Those Secret Service guys guarding government officials: cowards.
Prison guards with guns: cowards.
Armored car drivers carrying millions in cash, bank guards, museum guards, etc: cowards.
African tour guides: cowards.
Circus trick-shot artists: cowards.
I'm sure I missed a lot more.

Most anti gun people are the ones who live in big cities, with a stupid herd mentality that kicks in whenever these cowards even see a gun.
Murder, death , kill is all these brainwashed COWARDS can think.

You fantasize about breaking into people's houses, using a taser/pepper spray/judo on people and you're calling us lawful firearm folks cowards?
You have some serious deep dark issues and should seek help.

A keyboard commando sitting in Mom's basement calling law abiding gun owners cowards. Might be a coward.

Not even close but you can think that if it makes you feel better about your stance on gun ownership.

Correlation does not imply causation. There are many factors that can contribute to a downward trend in crime like *cough abortion*cough policing tactics *cough
The gun sales chart merely illustrates you're buying the BS fear camnpaign that the NRA sells like a good little capitalist.

Hey everyone, I'm getting temporary PTSD over here with all this gun talk!
You need to learn how to de-escalate a robber(even though they dont exist outside of Republican movies) by using fruit smoothies, and tantric yoga to calm his shokras back into his natural vegan, passive state.
Get a clue people!
