    So Japan is 67% non-religious, no guns, with "an incredible level of respect" for each other. . That might have something to do with murder rates.

    A; Guns have only two enemies: rust and politicians.

    B; It’s always better to be judged by 12 than carried by 6.

    C; Cops carry guns to protect themselves, not you.

    D; Never let someone or something that threatens you get inside arm’s length

    E; Never say "I've got a gun." If you need to use deadly force, the
    first sound they hear should be the safety clicking off.

    F; The average response time of a 911 call is 23 minutes, the response
    time of a .357 is 1400 feet per second.

    G; The most important rule in a gunfight is: Always win -
    There is no such thing as a fair fight. Always win - cheat if necessary.

    H; Make your attacker advance through a wall of bullets . . . You may get killed with your own gun, but he'll have to beat you to death with it, 'cause it will be empty.

    I; If you're in a gun fight:
    If you're not shooting, you should be loading.
    If you're not loading, you should be moving,
    If you're not moving, you're dead.

    J; In a life and death situation, do something . . . It may be wrong, but do something!

    K; If you carry a gun, people call you paranoid. Nonsense! If you have a gun, what do you have to be paranoid about?

    L; You can say 'stop' or any other word, but a large bore muzzle pointed at someone's head is pretty much a universal language.

    M; You cannot save the planet, but you may be able to save yourself and your family.

    I'd add one more thing, Lucrum. If you have a gun and you're worried about the legality of using it to defend yourself, it is better to be alive and arrested than dead.

  7. Do you ever have a clue what you are talking about, or do you just like to make shit up anytime you feel it will strengthen your cause?


    Who is this "far left libtard from harvard" that you speak of?

    Apparently NYC didn't get the memo.


    New York City is sending registered gun owners letters that indicate they must surrender their guns or permanently move them out of the city.

    from Washington Times:

    New York City authorities have been sending out notices to residents who own guns that now violate new ammunition capability laws, demanding they relinquish their weapons — and even though the notifications may just be standard police procedure, the text is a shocker.

    At issue: Weapons that hold more than five rounds of ammo, The Blaze reported.

    One such notice to a city resident, dated Nov. 18 and posted on The Blaze, reads: “Immediately surrender your rifle and/or shotgun to your local police precinct, and notify this office of the invoice number. The firearm may be sold or permanently removed from the City of New York thereafter. Permanently remove your rifle and/or shotgun from New York City.”

    futurecunts claims to live in NYC and own a lever action 30-30 rifle.

    I wonder if he's still going to be pro gun control after he gets his letter.

    Spiritual, yes. Religious, no. I believe in God and a moral code, but do not go to church.

    I don't enter religious threads here (or get into religious conversations in person) because my belief shouldn't be forced on others, and vice versa. If you're an atheist, no problem. Your life. If you're a raving christian or fanatical muslim, no problem as long as you leave me alone.
