COBURN: But do you have an opinion, or can you give me your opinion, of whether or not in this country I personally, as an individual citizen, have a right to self-defense?
The problem is that everyone has a different view on what self-defense is.
Like the old guy that phoned 911 saying that burglars were breaking into the house next door. He tells them that he needs to protect himself and that he is going to go out and shoot them. They said, "Stay in the house! Do not go outside!" But he did go outside, AFTER he told them he was going to shoot them. And that is exactly what he did. They weren't even in his yard.

Yup, she's a freedom-hating enemy of liberty.

Maybe that is the way it should have stayed. Then it was hunting for "food" or protecting yourself from being food. Now it's about killing because someone doesn't like you setting off fireworks, or because you got fired from a job. The list is endless. Animals kill for food.

I didn't hear her say that. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Thats because you have "lib" hearing and only listen to what interests your ideology. Good hearing also means being able to decipher what was'nt said. Sorry, spelling mistake.

Re-read what you just said. All these things that these animals have are natural. They are born with these things to defend themselves. People weren't born with guns. (Well, maybe you were.) : ) Anyways, if we were meant to have guns, we would be born with them. These animals use what they have to protect themselves. People were meant to do the same. Guns change who people are.
The making and use of tools is what sets us(or most of us) apart from basically every other animal. A million years ago we relied on weaponsm and tools we made from stone, bone, and wood. The ability to made our own weapons is what made us who we are today.

I doubt it. I just started posting here. Why do you ask?
Your "style" is familiar. : ) People leave and return with new names, I just thought that maybe you were someone I knew.
Do I know you?

Is that what is called self-defense?

Exactly. Take a look around you. Are things looking good to you?
