How seriously can you

[Ishmael]

take a person that places such a high value on their own life that they are unwilling to defend it?

I was stopped at a red light yesterday

and the car in front of me

had a bumpers sticker that said

The Quakers have been in the US for 300 years

and

I thought

"ONLY CAUSE SOMEONE ELSE DEFENDS YOU ALL!"

Who would have exterminated the Quakers?

 

[Busybody]

its NOT them per se

its the general notion

as expressed by ISH

if you don't defend yourself......for whatever reason, you will survive ONLY cause others have higher regard for your life the you do

In general, this is the work of the police.

Too bad you abolish them to save money.

 

[Busybody]

in Poland

It's not my fault that your police is undertrained, underpayed and don't have the laws to do serious action.

Actually, that is wrong. Police cannot be proactive, they are reactive...

That is even more wrong.

 

[PoppingTom]

Defense is always reactive.

 

[PoppingTom]

That is even more wrong.

No. It isn't my fault.

Funny how the cops and the courts all draw paychecks from the same till.


Kinda like the Redlegs . . . .


Doin' right ain't got no end.

Were the Norwegian police underpaid, undertrained and without strong laws?


Were not the laws of Connecticut very stringent?

The rate of gun ownership is higher in rural areas than in urban areas, but the murder rate is higher in urban areas. The rate of gun ownership is higher among whites than among blacks, but the murder rate is higher among blacks. For the country as a whole, hand-gun ownership doubled in the late 20th century, while the murder rate went down.

The few counter-examples offered by gun-control zealots do not stand up under scrutiny. Perhaps their strongest talking point is that Britain has stronger gun-control laws than the United States and lower murder rates.

But, if you look back through history, you will find that Britain has had a lower murder rate than the United States for more than two centuries — and, for most of that time, the British had no more stringent gun-control laws than the United States. Indeed, neither country had stringent gun control for most of that time.

In the middle of the 20th century, you could buy a shotgun in London with no questions asked. New York, which at that time had had the stringent Sullivan Law restricting gun ownership since 1911, still had several times the gun-murder rate of London, as well as several times the London murder rate with other weapons.

Neither guns nor gun control were the reason for the difference in murder rates. People were the difference.

Yet many of the most zealous advocates of gun-control laws on both sides of the Atlantic have also been advocates of leniency toward criminals.

In Britain, such people have been so successful that legal gun ownership has been reduced almost to the vanishing point, while even most convicted felons are not put behind bars. The crime rate, including the rate of crimes committed with guns, is far higher in Britain now than it was back in the days when there were few restrictions on Britons buying firearms.

In 1954, there were only a dozen armed robberies in London but, by the 1990s — after decades of ever tightening gun-ownership restrictions — there were more than a hundred times as many armed robberies.

Gun-control zealots’ choice of Britain for comparison with the United States has been wholly tendentious, not only because it ignored the history of the two countries, but also because it ignored other countries with stronger gun-control laws than the United States, such as Russia, Brazil, and Mexico. All of these countries have higher murder rates than the United States.

You could compare other sets of countries and get similar results. Gun ownership has been three times as high in Switzerland as in Germany, but the Swiss have had lower murder rates. Other countries with high rates of gun ownership and low murder rates include Israel, New Zealand, and Finland.

Guns are not the problem. People are the problem — including people who are determined to push gun-control laws, either in ignorance of the facts or in defiance of the facts.

I know, a repeat, but it is some nice context. If you will not defend your life then you are ignoring your natural rights and thus by default, are not a huge fan of liberty to begin with.

It must be awful to live in such abject terror your entire life.

Hmm..this is confusing...

Were the Norwegian police killing wrong people or smack somebody to a cripple because of their own overtaxing?

They weren't keeping Breivik's victims alive, now were they?

The state trooper pulled Granny, and she handed him her license, registration, and concealed carry permit. He asked if she had any firearms in the vehicle. Seh replied that there was a .45 in the glove box, a .357 in the console and a .40 under the front seat. He asked her what she was so scared of.

Her reply: "not a damn thing."

They were decently treated. They were decently fed and then they were decently shot. Those men are dirty Jews, nothing more.
