Some men can feel safe without fondling a firearm.

You also have a Consitutional right to wear your boxer shorts on your head.
I suggest you don't exercise it.

A man’s brain is the best thing for staying outa trouble. I teach that. But that would be a new thread.

Bipod

Agreed!

A friend's mother had this and found some form of cannabis was most effective. I think that guy from back to the future has a site with a lot of info on it.

Maybe I misunderstood this statement, but it seems like you are somehow suggesting you are more courageous than a man who protects himself and others from evils and not depending on another man with a gun if and when the need arises. Maybe you're just sheltered and naive and forgot the importance of the constitution and the United States.

Now it’s about fashion...

How did my original topic migrate to where we are now?

I protect myself: just not by shooting other Americans....

...who just as much as you or me have Constitutional guarantees of life,
due process of law, and the right to live in a civil society, not an
armed camp.

What's more important: your life or this country and the rule-of-law?
Criminals should be brought to justice, not killed on the spot.

For one thing, not every person who appears to be a criminal or
seems to be thretening you actually is a threat. (Dare I speak the
truth that most white people perceive black people as threatening?)

I used to be an NRA member, back when it stood for "National Rifle
Association" and advocated hunters' safety. And back when there
weren't 327 million people living in the USA --almost 40 million of
them in my state. The frontier is over.

There is a very simple way to avoid the risk of shooting another American:
don't carry a gun. What sort of gun would Jesus have carried?
Or Confucious? Or the Buddha? Or Socrates? Would they have
favored dum-dums, explosive point, tracers or jacketed rounds?

I suppose Socrates could have knifed his guards and broken out of jail--
he'd been a soldier. And Jesus (assuming historicity) and his followers
could have speared the Roman guards and run away...

What a load of crap. If someone breaks into my house with bad intentions they just forfeited their right to life and due process. Besides that that's not what the second amendment is about, it's about liberty and keeping it, defending ourselves from tyrannical government like socialism.
I defended this country overseas and I'm ready to defend it at home.

Judge, jury and executioner. Guess he has one of those gunsights that reveals people's intentions.
He's fully prepared to shoot anyone who attempts to steal his TV set--or who appears to do so.

And he;s prepared to fight off the goverment -- from the FBI to the USAF (With what, one wonders?)

Democracy is about ballots, not bullets. And the US Constitution specifically says "well-regulated militia",
not "gun-nuts and survivalists in a compound in Idaho".

Please share with us, MauiMoto: who else has "forfeited their right to life"? Have you made a little list?

MauiMoto Loc: Hawaii

Don't waste any more of my time, acting brave behind your keyboard, I'm not your father, I'm not going to do his job. Don't force your socialist propoganda on the rest of us, do what you want, maybe when you grow up you will understand.

Hey guys I thought this was a photography site. Are there no rules or monitoring by an administrator. Everyone is getting alerts of new messages on the Parkinson's/photography topic only to find it is some guys arguing about non photography issues. I am as passionate about what is going on in our country as anyone but this isn't the place---ok? SMILE

Bipod

OK!

Roger that, was about to ask if this was still a photography forum.
