Arming ourselves against criminals is the idea....not against police or public

I was joking about the rocket launcher... eventhough they are pretty cool.

Get like 3 pitbulls and a handgun. Nobody would dare come at you.

yeah but the barking is what keeps the criminals away. Nobody wants to mess with a pack of pits!!

I have a boxer/bulldog mix. He's 65 pounds, black as night (nobody can see him in the dark or shadows)... with a HUGE head and a HUGE mouth with HUGE teeth!! He has the most vicious sounding growl.. sounds like a jackal from the Omen.

Unfortunatly he doesnt bark unless I give him a signal.. or he wants to play. And hes a huge baby... if someone tried to rob me he'd help them.
But if someone tried to hurt me he'd kill them.

He's intimidating enough that I wouldnt be afraid to walk in the hood alone with him by my side. (not that i'm afraid of doing that anyway)

Love boxers and Shepherds(had ours die this week)! Timing is everything in defending yourself.

I'm so sorry about the loss of your pet.

Shepherds are great guard dogs also. & rotties, dalmations, mastiff's (all big dogs with strong jaws!)

While realizing that what is posted in this thread is not likely to change anyone's opinion on the issue of gun control and/or the right to bear arms.........I'd still like to ask a couple of rhetorical questions

If my pursuit of happiness does not infringe upon yours or anyone else's pursuit of happiness what business is it of yours??

If a ban of semi-automatic weapons is "necessary for the good of society" then why not ban V8 engines....why not ban sports cars....why not ban alcohol... why not ban tobacco...while we are at it, maybe we better ban prescription pain killers... how about all forms of gambling... do we really need gay sex?

Arguing what should or should not be legal based upon what is strictly necessary for the good of society may well be a slippery slope...

Banning anything that can be linked to criminal activity can also be a pretty slippery slope...

Perhaps the concepts of "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you" & "An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth", are not entirely bad concepts...
