Subject: RE: Would you take a life?What circumstance?
Guns are bad? I didn't know they possessed life and the ability to provide a rationale. Guns aren't squat - it's what people do with them that determines if they are appropriate or not. What an irresponsible statement! People need to take responsibility for what they do - not blame what they use as the problem.

As far a soldiering being a stupid occupation - who made you the judge of what is honorable and what is not?

If everyone had a gun then no one could terroize anyone. Every country or state that has outlawed weapons has seen a huge increase in crime rates. Where concealed carry permits have been made available the crime rates have decreased. You are more at risk from seeing your doctor than you are of being injured by a gun.

And what the hell is a "proper job?"

Not incensed - in a state of umbrage.
