As a man of peace I find no need for any weapons in my life. Not a coat hanger, not a ball point pen, and not even a folded newspaper or a bar of bath soap in a sock.
I would never sit around the house at night punching sand -> pea gravel in a can to toughen my knuckles and fingers to be better able to gouge out an eye.
The mere thought of cracking a collar bone with an asp or dislocating a jaw with a sap is abhorrant to me. Dirtbags are people too. They have needs the same way as I do and I need to be my brother's keeper.
I refuse to use the kick-bag in the garage to perfect my roundhouse. I have no need to pound anyone's kidneys soft. I will not wear hobnail boots to stomp somebody's mellon more effectively. The satisfying snap of a joint is not music to my ears and never will be.
I reject the slaughter and consumption of animal flesh (unless it's part of a religious ceremony because pagans have rights too).
My noteworthy example of peaceful co-existence with mankind and small animals should serve as an example to you all.
Why, oh why would I want to have a firearm? And that's one of the real problems with the current bent toward gun control, isn't it?

It's a liberal's delusional wet dream that disarming the honest will somehow convince the dishonest to comply. And that mankind will ever be able to join hand and sing kum-bay-ah together.
Experience in America has shown that an armed society is a polite society. Would that it were not so, but that's the way it is.

Obviously you're not a parent. I am. And I'll take any advantage I can get to
protect my kids, my spouse, my home.
I think that's great that you want to save the world with your love, peace, and
songs of kumbaya. I'm a pretty peaceful guy myself and shutter at the violence
that evil selfish sociopathic people do to others.
But at the end of the day, I'm not responsible for supporting the crack head who
wants to steal my stereo to pay for their habbit... I'm not responsible for
the thug that wants to kill the other thug in the other gang because they tagged
over their turf.
I am however responsible for making sure I'm alive and well to take care of MY
kids and make sure they dont become society's burden. I am responsible for
protecting the lives and safety of my family. And I intend to do so by any means -
responsibly and within the law.
I'm happy to say that, in my wonderful state of Nevada, I'm allowed to undertake
my civic responsibilities with a concealed firearm at my side most of the day.
Concealed carry is good, but I long for a time when most men wore a sixgun just like they wore their boots.
In this day and age, exposing a firearm on your side would just get you a bullet in the back of the head first so you dont thwart their crime.
Best if it's concealed so nobody knows... that is the best way to ensure a polite society... not by the show of force, but by the lack of knowledge of who's going to pop you from what angle if you do decide to be rude.
Uphill was joking in his first post his second is who he is. I will guess that you guys have never seen his other post here on the forum. His rules for guys and his Daughter(s) are great.
Ok back on topic Guns are good.
