Can you understand why a slave might have felt the need to own a gun?WingCmdr Ginkapo wrote:Correct. So back to the original point, why do so many Americans feel the need to own guns?Phatscotty wrote: So, really the invaders then don't even need guns either, right?

Yeah, um.... nice try, but that guy was not a carjacker. What carjacker doesn't have his gun already drawn when he opens the car door?Phatscotty wrote:There is no need to jump to extremes.

Makes sense Owen, I knew the history but not that the second amendment was to form a militia. Makes sense but quite clearly is no longer required.
And matching the force of government is not the only reason for owning a gun, so let's move out of 'carrying a nuke around with ya' to self defense from an intruder or a car-jacker or a nut flippin his wig on drugs seeing things chase them, or some pussy who is scared to get in a fight and is carrying a gun illegally.
You started with 'people need guns to protect themselves from others with guns' and I ended it with 'yup, that is exactly the reason people feel the need to own a gun'WingCmdr Ginkapo wrote:The sarcastic clapping is a bit extreme when you've spent over an hour to get me to say something I already started with.WingCmdr Ginkapo wrote: So clearly this logic doesnt stand, there has to be a cultural reason.
we invaded a country that had nothing to do with a terrorist attack that killed 2,997 people on american soil... we killed over 500,000 people over there in retribution. again, the country we killed half a million people in had nothing to do with the terrorist attack... i would hate to see what america would unleash if a terrorist attack killed 31,000 americans... that black jesus has spoken...-Jésus noirdegaston wrote:And if terrorists killed 31,000 Americans every year, would that be something to "fuss about"?

lol. I thought people stopped thinking like this when they hit puberty.What has happened to our culture that one, lone Army vet, namely, Chris Mitz, fought back heroically trying to save other students. Sure he got shot, but there is no telling how many lives he saved grappling with the gun- wielding goon. What has happened to our culture is we have been systematically pussified. And that needs to change, STAT.
The government does fear guns otherwise they would not talk of banning them.WingCmdr Ginkapo wrote:If thats the case then every American should be armed with a nuclear bomb, or at the very least rocket launchers.

I don't expect much from Ted Nugent, but would it kill you to do a little research before you spread his drivel?KoolBak wrote:Ted Nugent's response to this:

Do you really want to have this guy as your spokesperson?

And apparently it was common knowledge that this policy was completely ignored, according to the title and body of the article.KoolBak wrote:ps...from your own article (dumbass)... "Umpqua’s student handbook says firearms are prohibited on college property".
