Re: Grandaddy's Gun
Is it just me or do "others" see the absolute hypocrisy and ridiculousness of thinking and proposing that to secure and keep a, so called, "free society", then guns are probably needed?henry quirk wrote: ↑Thu Jul 30, 2020 5:20 pm I don't need to own guns to live in a free society
mebbe not, but you probably need guns to secure & keep a free society
For the one's that think this sort of stuff, then please will you inform me of what 'it' actually IS, which guns will supposedly or probably secure and keep the "free society" from exactly?
From an outside perspective, what is observed is that the ONLY 'thing' that, so called, "free societies" on earth need to protect themselves from, with defense forces, weapons, and guns, is 'other', so called, "free societies".
From my perspective, the purchasing, securing, and keeping of guns, in order to protect yourselves, is just because you 'need' to protect yourselves from your own selves. The ONLY real danger, in the Universe, which 'you', human beings, NEED to protect yourselves from, is; 'you', human beings.
Because some of you own guns, then there is more, so called, "reason" you 'need' to, so call, "protect yourselves". If a human being with a gun, is one reason 'you' 'need' to 'protect' yourselves, which "justifies" the securing and the keeping of ANOTHER gun, then, hopefully, the idiosyncrasy of this is not lost on some.
If a human being with a gun is one thing you need to protect your self from, then, obviously if 'you', human beings, got rid of ALL of the guns, then there is one less thing, which 'you' need to, and have to, so call, ''protect'' yourselves from.
If one, supposedly, 'needs' to arm them self with a gun to, so call, "protect" them self from one armed with a gun, then what is actually 'needed' to prevent this most stupid of behavior would surely be PURE OBVIOUS, correct?

Re: Grandaddy's Gun
Well, I can tell you that the man may be a Democrat, but he's a caring father and for the many years I've known him, no coward. And a man's got to do what he has to do to protect his family. So there it is. It takes a lot to make a man like that buy a gun; but he's at that point. And who could blame him?Nick_A wrote: ↑Sat Aug 01, 2020 12:47 amNow he will have something to leave his grandson reminding him of his grandfather's willingness to be a man and defend his family.Immanuel Can wrote: ↑Sat Aug 01, 2020 12:14 amHe went to a reputable dealer, and bought legally.

In what direction are you taking your 'self' with a gun?henry quirk wrote: ↑Thu Jul 30, 2020 5:57 pm From who? The aliens?

Freedom means freedom from violence.
Freedom from crime.
Freedom from worry.
Freedom from <all the social ails that plague us>
that's how you see it: for me, freedom is self-direction & self-responsibility, not safety
What do you believe you actually 'need' to, so call, "self-defend" from, EXACTLY?henry quirk wrote: ↑Thu Jul 30, 2020 5:57 pm If you need the guns, you ain't free.
without the means to self-defend: you ain't free

I have mine; it saved my ass more than once: I'm here and I'm free
I am also unsure how one can feel free if they feel a 'need' to own a gun.

So, from your perspective, we 'need' guns because there are, so called, "unkind" people who break into other's territories and take their stuff, correct?henry quirk wrote: ↑Sat Aug 01, 2020 2:29 amunkind folks who broke into my home lookin' to take my shit and hurt me in process
If this is correct, then you would have to agree that all the indigenous peoples 'needed' guns also, because of your kind, that is; the truly 'unkind' people, correct?

there is NO answer to my question.
You mean this: please will you inform me of what 'it' actually IS, which guns will supposedly or probably secure and keep the "free society" from exactly?
Like I say upthread: kings and commies.
So, from your perspective, we 'need' guns because there are, so called, "unkind" people who break into other's territories and take their stuff, correct?
Can't speak for we; will speak for me: yes, there are sumbitches in the world and I aim to defend me and mine against 'em.
If this is correct, then you would have to agree that all the indigenous peoples 'needed' guns also, because of your kind, that is; the truly 'unkind' people, correct?
Well, I'm no conquerer or thief or murderer or rapist, and I wasn't around when all that conquest was goin' on, so I don't accept your indictment of me as a member of the truly 'unkind' people.
As to the question about indigenous folks back then needin' firearms: sure, they could have made good use of the armaments of the day. They didn't have any and look what happened. Thanks for lendin' support to my point (you probably need guns to secure & keep a free society).

Well guns have obviously ALREADY been proven to NOT work against "kings" and "commies". In fact it is guns that are 'needed' and used by "kings" and "commies" to conquer over and control "others".henry quirk wrote: ↑Sat Aug 01, 2020 3:33 am there is NO answer to my question.

Also, sum of those "bitches" own guns, which they say and "justify" they 'need' in order to defend "themselves" against the "bitches" like 'you', who own guns.

Also, I was NOT lending support to any point. I was just asking you some clarifying questions.
And, armaments do not stop people wanting to conquer "others". The only thing that stops people wanting to conquer over "others" is the people, themselves.

No, they don't say or think that. I own a shotgun for defense; they own to offend. We're not on the same page, me and them.

Why not?
I don't accept responsibility for crimes I didn't commit.

Me: the guy talkin' to you.
Mine: my 14 year old.
Ah, so it is the society with the biggest and most powerful armament, which, to you, will be the, so called, the "free society", correct?
Nope. Never said shit about might makes right. I say a free society stays free through the capacity to self-defend against those who'd make it a slave state.
And, armaments do not stop people wanting to conquer "others".
Never said guns make folks not want to conquer. Guns can keep them from conquering, even if they want to.
