    tazers and pepper spray. also the odds are somewhere in the neighborhood of lightning strikes, but the thing is, anything likely to be fatal puts the advantage in their court.
    i seriously hope i don't have to explain why. and stand your ground is a whole nother can of woims. anyone can say you were attacking them with no witnesses.

    There's like 30 to 60 people struck by lightning each year. I won't assume that you're completely ignorant as to how many burglaries occur in a given year, and how many of those burglaries result in violence against the resident. That's one thing I don't have to assume about you.

    And why stand your ground when you can just ASSUME that the intruder is not going to harm anyone in your house? Always give the intruder the benefit of the doubt.

    I assume you meant logical "rationale" and not logical "rational."

    Anyway, I don't have to come up with a reason for wanting a flash suppressor. You, on the other hand, had better come up with some kind of rationale for telling me I shouldn't have one. So far you've come up empty handed. If you can't explain how they are a danger, you need to accept that. Then we can move on to the next issue you have with accessories.

    Well rational is a logical idea, rationale is the process of reasoning. I'm not going to quibble over semantics, but you're probably right about my use of the word rational verses rationale, so what?

    Getting back to flash suppressors, I'm done with that and with any discussion on this subject with you. You still haven't offered any rebuttal of my points and never will.
    Your entire argument is based on an offhand disregarding of anything I say on the subject and then claiming I have to justify my own argument while you sit back and do nothing. Why argue with myself?

    Your entire argument is, "No they're not."

    I'm not "probably" right. There's no such thing as a logical rational. There is, however, such a thing as a logical rationale.

    As far as offering a rebuttal to your point, you haven't made a point. You have failed to explain how a flash suppressor is dangerous. Therefore, there is nothing to rebut.

    Your entire argument isn't even an argument. You make a claim that you can't back up, and then you want to bypass that failure and demand that I rebut it anyway. If you can't illustrate why a flash suppressor is dangerous, then stop pretending it is. Then we can move on to the next accessory you have an unwarranted issue with.

    He's not really my friend anymore. I figure he is going back to his old life. If he calls I will talk to him but I'm not going to worry too much.

    He made a choice with the gun. Don't you always say people kill people not guns? He did kill someone. I don't see the argument you are making. We both agree a person took an action with a gun. The gun can not shoot itself. His culture and opinion on guns made him use the gun.

    This is the NRA and 2nd amendment. One has the personal power to make a call as to when a gun should be used.

    You seem to be denying the possibility of mistakes with a gun as if every gun owner is perfect. You need to get past the moral high ground. Gun owners are not god and are not special since you own a gun. People die all the time from them. People shot by legal gun owners. Mistakes happen.

    The gun community fails to see the elephant in the room. To admit what I said opens the door to gun laws and the idea that some legal guns would not be. This is why you defend ALL gun owners even when I give examples of mistakes.

  11. I agree, I've used my voice many times to try to get cars to move with no success.
     
  12. Not that I care for the NRA, they're an arrogant, greedy bunch of fukwits as I see it. But their support of the 2nd amendment makes them technically a civil rights advocacy group. That's what it's called when rights are defended.

    Wondering what this animal was listening to before her decided to open fire on police that protect the citizens in the shithole of Filthydelphia.. Oh nvm we know..



    Protesting in support of this guy is also supporting his use of a AR-15 which you libs want banned. Love to hear what all the lunatic gun grabbers on the left that are running for President have to say about this protest...

    They support their version of the 2nd.
     
  16. Now that's interesting.

    What is their version? How does it differ from the actual constitutional amendment?

    And if it is different, who cares? It would be meaningless.

    Do I have to get into this? You don't realize there are different interpretations of the 2nd?

    Y'all can do whatever, I'm keeping mine. The world isn't getting any safer, and it never will. And most important, I've got to protect my family from the bullshit while I'm here, plain and simple.

    I know you believe there is something in that post that explains why a flash suppressor makes a rifle more dangerous, but there's not. So we're back to the fact that you made a claim that you can't back up, but insist that I rebut it anyway. There's nothing to rebut. If you think that there is, then pull the pertinent part from that post of yours.

    Then we can move on to the next accessory you have an unwarranted issue with.
