You can call 911 all you want, it still takes many minutes for the police to respond and by then the damage will be done.
The Supreme Court and many other courts have already ruled that the police do not have an obligation to protect individual citizens.
Your life and your safety is YOUR OWN responsibility.
Allowing responsible adults the right to self defense will protect more people than any gun ban ever will.

If a homicidal maniac is on a shooting spree there is only one way to stop them fast: shoot them.
Killers prefer unarmed victims!
That''s why the terrorists knew they could use BOX-CUTTERS on 9/11 to hijack airplanes.
Virginia Tech and Northern Illinois are "GUN FREE ZONES".
Of course, it didn''t stop the suicidal killers but it did prevent their victims from being able to defend themselves.

MyIDonCBS... (Part one)

"Re.tared"

What lame censoring. I withdraw my previous comments regarding what I thought was your inability to navigate a keyboard.

"Yes. The best defense in that situation is not to be there when they come. Better than that would be to NOT make enemies. If you have enemies, you can NEVER be safe. Period."

Look, my job requires me to terminate folks and some of them get upset at me when that situation arises. At best, it is naive to think that just being nice to everyone will stop them wanting to harm you. There will always be those who want to do someone else harm "just because". Just because they are jealous of my happiness, your house, his watch, her purse, etc.

"Before they are criminals, they are "responsible, law abiding gun owners". Then they get violent, and you pretend that since they have now committed a crime, they were ALWAYS criminals. But that just isn''''t so."

So, every gang member was a lawful gun owner before they turned to crime? Negative.

Yes absolutely, lawful "gun owners kill people every day". The so-far-over-the-top vast majority of the time those people shot are called criminals.

It''s interesting that you group all gun owners together all the time. Clearly there are differences between those who use them offensively (criminals) and those of us who want to give ourselves a fighting chance against those folks.

ok ok, you can have your *** guns, but it must become a privilege to own a gun, as in anyone who wants a gun will have to earn it; not in materialistic terms, but in intelligence.

A test of mental and physical capabilities. There''s a reason why security guards have to go through training to get a license to shoot; same thing should be required for anyone who wants a gun, YOU MUST BE TRAINED...

but then again, average people who snaps can just slip right through so we are back at square one again...

looks like people who want guns or bad enough will always get to them; maybe is not so bad to walk around in full body ballistic and explosive armor nowadays... you never know...

Here it is again. Gun Violence. This time it was a leather holster that held a gun. It doesn''t take a genius to make the connection. Leather holsters kill people. The sooner we get leather holsters banned, the better off we will be. It is the powerful Leather Holster lobby that is really responsible for all these horrendous gun death, not the innocent guy who actually buys and wears the holster. Moreover, America must begin to realize that we must stop the killing of beef cattle, from whom the leather is gotten to make the leather gun holster. If we could just stop making leather gun holsters, there would be a lot less senseless killing of innocent people. Unless, ofcourse, the innocent, law-abiding citizens have a gun to defend themselves.
