There already are firearms restrictions, too many IMO, so I certainly don’t think we need any more. Self-defense is certainly a good enough reason for killing an attacker, if you choose not to stop an attacker when they threaten to rape or murder you or a loved one, that’s certainly up to you. No one is trying to force you to act otherwise, just don’t try to take that option away from everyone else.

The alternatives (rubber bullets, tazers, pepper spray, etc.) are quite capable alternatives in certain situations, but they are definitely not substitutes for firearms, that’s why police carry both.

Nancy Pelosi loves your thought process.

If someone intends to kill me I shouldn't use deadly force to defend my own life??? Why?because the life of the criminal or nutjob attacker is worth more than mine? You need help.

Look at her profile.

She is actively violating her oath. NOBODY with that view should be in the armed forces.

OK, I was curious where that came from.

With views like that, Nise is almost certainly an officer.

With views like that, she's a fucking disgrace to the uniform and an embarrassment to our nation.

There are civilians who work for the USAF, too. It's possible.

It's about the rights of insane killers to get the guns they need to kill everybody in the cafeteria................, If he had been able to buy an assault rifle, she would never have gotten away.

You're one disgustingly sick individual, you know that?

You make comments like that and yet you somehow expect people to take you seriously on your anti-gun position?

Re: More Gun Owners Use 2nd Amenedment to Kill Themselves

" More Gun Owners Use 2nd Amenedment to Kill Themselves "

Stupid headline. What do they do with the rest of the Constitution? Do they wack themselves in the forehead until they die? Do they slash their wrists with it? How do they get it out of the display case, with all that security around? Is there a waiting list of suicidal people waiting on the Constitution to become available? How do you get it from the current possessor once he kills himself? Does he/she call you up before doing the deed so you can come over and collect it right aftyer they off themselves?

So many questions, so few answers.

How about being less sensational? Does killing yourself with a gun ,ake it any more tragic than killing yourself by pills/hanging/knife/jumping/suffocation?

So, how exaclt is an "instrument of death" defined? For fucks sake, people drown in rivers every year. Are rivers now classified as " instruments of death" ? Are cars now classified the same way since people are intentionally murdered with them every year?

I've heard of buyers remorse, but posters remorse? Hell man, get down to a psychiatrist, and I'm sure you can get some cool pills to alleviate your angriness.
