"And anyone who owns and carries a handgun is, by definition, prepared to kill a human being."

YES! SO WHAT? In my mind, it is ridiculous to state it. I look at it this way. Anyone who owns and carries a handgun is, by definition, prepared to defend themselves, their families, their fellow citizens and their property... LEGALLY.

BIG difference and BIG INFERENCE on your part... which has NO justification and no status as an arguement against LEGAL guns.

MGM... "right-thinking people everywhere". Apparently not. Fact is, Yanks don't take shit... from you or their government and that is PARTICULARLY why the USA is the land of the free and the home of the DON'T FUCK WITH ME. That is what their nation was founded on. That is their constitution. The right to peace and quiet enjoyment of life and if you fuck with that, they reserve the right to shoot your ass... when it's LEGAL AND JUSTIFIED. Their government is iffy on that one... you know... their Militia running amok in other countries (my country too, sniff)... but that's on so many other threads.

Ya know... this thread(s) is never gonna end. Fact is, I own a gun. I ain't gonna shoot you... unless you tell me you are gonna take my gun. Don't worry. I am a marksman. You won't feel a thing.

gnightgnu... have fun with it.
