But this did come from the article...


Didn't say Semi-automatic or even AR-15 (from reading the article).

miniguns are like $250,000 only rich people would walk around with them

Automatic I can excuse as it needs a prefix to describe which action it is and by itself describes semi-auto. Id certaintly hope when I talk about my autovolver no one thinks its full auto

(story would have been better if it was the sister who shot" while defending the older brother)

Youre confusing machine guns with liter bikes

I've had many discussions with anti-gunners about how self-defense isn't practical....just lay down and let 'em do you........

So far this week, just a quick google....

All the theorists opine about needing specialized intensive training to defend yourself blah blah blah...

It doesn't matter till it's YOU looking at a savage beating, rape or worse at the hands of some miscreante(s).....

For every one of these stories, there are many more that go unreported just because the person had possession of a gun and it warded off a confrontation...

Ask me how I know....

That's because robbers are idiots. You always want to bring a knife to a gun fight.

Though the ninja dude brings up an interesting port (sort of). If all and I mean ALL guns are destroyed, banned, etc then we are left with swords. The problem with swords is that at close range there can't be equals. You put an 80 year old grandma with a 38special vs some 20 year old thug with a 38 special then you really have an equal battle. You put 80 year old Grandma with a Katana vs experienced thug (or Ninja) who uses a sword daily you don't have a fair fight. Grandma is gonna get it.

All weapons are gone then MMA people are going to rule the world.

Grandma would have a much slower reaction time. Better hope the kid is a bad aim and grandma is a crackshot.
