i agree but i wouldnt use violence though

This by the way is seriously the WORST MOST PATHETIC THREAD to date on ATS.

I cannot believe the level of complete STUPIDITY of this thread. It is UNBELIEVABLY pathetic garbage of a thread.

It doesnt even REMOTELY make a decent argument to support your stance. NOTHING!!!!!!! UNBELIEVABLY RIDICULOUS at even a preschool level!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well if you choose to arm yourself with a tazer, that's your choice. I will keep my guns, thank you. And no, I won't give them up because city folks are escared of them

You know what's funny? In many cities and states tasers are harder to acquire legally than guns and are even illegal in some instances.

Same with less-than-lethal ammunition such as bean bags or rubber buckshot.

I remember wanting to load my home shotgun with rubber buckshot only to discover that in the state I lived in at the time that would have been illegal.

The magic of bureaucracy.

The state would rather I eviscerate a human being than simply incapacitate a human.

I think it stems from the backwards notion that kids would go around tasing people or shooting rubber bullets at people because they think it's "harmless" or "funny" or some other such tripe.

Blew my mind that in that state I could walk around with a dozen concealed pistols and 400 rounds of ammo perfectly legally but I couldnt carry a taser or pepper spray.

Then you will die, or at the least be victimized. That is your choice to make. As for me, I choose to defend myself, my family, and my property.

If you are going to blame "guns" for the evil people do, then you must praise them for the good done with them. Guns freed the slaves. Guns defeated Hitler. Guns freed America from the British. Guns have done many good things, why do you only recognize the bad? Hmmmm.... maybe it wasn't the guns that did those things at all. Could it be the people holding those guns might have had some responsibility for the good done with those guns?

And this is your right, to be a victim and allow your loved ones to be victims too.
I endorse your right to simply lay down and give up.
Please respect my right to not give up.
