God made all men, Colt made them equal

This is a fabricated story. Want proof? Here it is....

http://www.washingtontimes.com...-guns-arent-defense/

So, since the woman had a gun, she clearly was intending to rob the robber. She should be prosecuted, or if she was in Chicago she would be summarily executed! https://usjf.net/2013/01/chica...licensed-gun-owners/

The Second Amendment is a danger to us all!

I can appreciate tongue in cheek humor.

Well, at least they didn't call her "trigger happy".

BUT BUT this is not supposed to happen we are told by the anti gunners she would had he gun taken away and used against her or she should have shot a innocent bystander etc.   Guns are only good for killing thats what they say.  Good on the lady for protecting herself!!!

Just looking for clarification Duke...are you say that YOU believe that the 2nd Amendment is a danger to us all OR giving a caption to the article from the mayor of Chicago?  

Sarcasm is how I took it.

No, it was snarky sarcasm... I was trying to be like Crash and Upside.

I actually believe that the Chiefs in Chicago and Emeryville are clones of Cliff Clavin from Cheers. I mean they look and think just like him!

~~~~~~~~~

I bet if he had taken one more step after the gun was drawn, this guy wouldn't be a danger to society anymore.

I can hear them now if she did shoot him.  He was known to the neighborhood just out for a walk and mistook her house for his and he had left his keys at home so he had to kick in the door.  It was a honest mistake he should not have been shot because he made a mistake.

Holy crap - 10 hours this topic has been up without any snarky remarks from crash and beternwho?  I guess they have been too busy fighting for Guntersville!

Kudos to her for having the self control to not drop him as soon as she drew her gun....

The sad part of the story is that the crook was released on bail.  He will probably go back when no one is there to finish destroying the house.

Where are all the America and freedom hating liberals at on here.  I think from a liberals point of view that the woman should be charged with harrassment.  She should have let the thugga ransack the house.  What if she were in Chicago?  Don't they have strict gun control? 

I am still waiting for someone that is in favor of disarming law abiding citizens why this woman should not have a gun.  Was she some kind of redneck blow hard flashing her shootin' arn?

You can't respond to this story because it disproves everything that the gun control lobby stands for and says. 

Mad, I am a Liberal, but I don't hate freedom or my country, so I am not sure if you are referring to me or not.

I applaud this woman and I can't think of anything I would have done different myself other than unload my gun on him.

Jan, I may disagree with you about politics, a lot.  But there are several liberals on here who don't have the spine to admit that government control of gun ownership is a bad thing.

By the way, from what I can see about MOST liberals, they want to do what they want on someone elses' dime.  That is the liberal definition of freedom.

-----------------

That's the definition of their freedom. They don't give a rip about other's freedom or rights. Just give them the money, and don't ask any questions about how they **** it away.

who cuts taxes until the government is broken? who restores taxes to a level that the economy and the public can flourish? simple questions.. simple answers...  pop that conservative bubble and realize there HAS to be a compromise. we will never make progress until we can compromise. liberals are open to change.. conservatives resist it , kicking and screaming. check your history... it's painfully obvious.

Who wants to increase taxes and grow the federal government, even though it's already an overbloated beast?  Who wants the free money for doing nothing?  Who wants to compromise as long as the other side relents and lets them have what they want?  I think that liberal bubble just popped and blew out every window at the cable company.

I don't know how you define "control," but some government REGULATION of guns is a GOOD thing. If by "control," you are objecting to any and all forms of regulation, then you are out of touch with both the Supreme Court and good sense.

+++++++

I have taken no across-the-board position against private citizens having guns for self defense.  I doubt that the lady had or would have needed an assault-style weapon with a high capacity magazine to scare off this intruder.  I continue to support background checks for all gun purchases and I continue to maintain that there are types of ammunition that are not necessary for self-defense, and that should not be available to the public at large. What is unreasonable about that?

the well stated stance of MOST liberals.. contrary to what the "pro gun" crowd tells you!

Here is a nice video demonstrating the difference between a woman firing Joe Bidens shotgun and one of your 'assault style' rifles.  As a bonus, you get a good laugh at Biden along the way.

As for background checks - I can go for background checks as well.  As long as they are just background checks.  Those nutty Liberals cant settle for that though.  They want fingerprinting - not for the background check, but to keep on record after the sale (the fingerprints arent used to run the background check, so whats the point in collecting them).  They want to keep the background check paperwork on file - supposedly not to build a database of gun owners, but why else would you keep that documentation?  There is no need to maintain documentation about the background check after it is passed.  

If it is failed, then it should be maintained to prosecute the person that shouldnt have been attempting to buy a gun - but there is no real talk of enforcing the current laws in place.

What ammo are you wanting to limit now?  Those dangerous hollow points?  Those are actually safer in most situations because they dont travel as far or pass through people and walls as well as non hollow points.  Armor piercing (and vest piercing) ammo could be done away with - but since it cant be imported or manufactured in the US (except for sale to military and police), it might as well already be banned for civilians.  The only folks that have it are the hoarders, so banning it really wont change much.

Keep letting folks push us down that slipery slope.

And I didnt say you had taken an across the board position on anything, I said we hadn't seen any of your trademark 'snarky' remarks about us 'gun nuts' on the thread, which was very surprising......
