The 2nd Amendment isn't about self defense, or hunting.  It's a check on the government. 

Although irrelevant to this thread, hows the 2nd amendment working out for you guys? When was the last time it was used for its intended purpose?

[Roger Bacon]

Individual freedom must actually still be a big deal in the United States (I was afraid it was a thing of the past).  Whereas you foreigners always seem perfectly willing to sacrifice your own rights (financial freedom, right to defend yourself, freedom of speech) for what you believe to be "the greater good".

That is very, VERY debateable. Ever been to scandinavia?

What do you mean?  We don't need another revolutions, it severs as a constant reminder to our government not to overstep their bounds.

60 million Americans own a combined arsenal of over 200 million firearms.  Don't think this goes unnoticed.

Lovemonkey is a homo, and too scared to do anything.

Of course you should do what's right if you are packing a gun when some savages try to rob your favorite internetcafe.

Is that really what this thread is about? I swear some of you people wouldn't understand the real point of this discussion even if it hit you right in the face.

They've already been doing that for quite some time now

I wasn't aware

[Roger Bacon]

This isn't a complex argument.  

You don't mind the fact you have no right to defend yourself and your family.  You would rather put your life in the hands of statistics, and the state.  You obviously come from a country of slaves, that better obey, and do as they're told.

Were individuals, we're not over grown children that can't be trusted to defend ourselves and our communities.  I doubt you'll find many incidents (if any) where an innocent person was injured or killed while exercising this right.

Why are you even debating it with us?  You live your life your way, we'll live ares our way.

Just because people dont agree with you doenst mean we dont understand what youre getting at.
Some of prefer to be proactive and would rather take our lives into our own hands than leave it in the hands of some cracked out burglar.

[bigkid]

wow just great, a situation that had a low to moderate chance of shots being fired now turned into people getting potentially lethally injured and exposing innocent bystanders to the same risk.

You're the guy that did nothing on the plane during 9/11 and ended up in a trade tower because terrorists usually just land the plane and make demands.

Hahaha Lovesmangoo has cemented his position as getbig's Bottom of the Week in this thread

Sounds like a guy that doesn't believe in the right to bear arms...You a yankee boy?

[bradistani]

Check this one out; Columbus, Ohio.

looked like the silly bastrd was trying to use his co-worker as a human shield. more luck than anything else that he didn't shoot the baby 

still! that chap won't be robbing that place ever again 

[Kim Jong Bob]

if it was me there with my baby i would have smashed the guys head in afterwards for starting to shoot just inches from my kid and used us as a shield. the woman could have taken one step to the side and the baby would have been a ex baby

.this is what lovemonkey is talking about. this could have gone so wrong. what if the robbers started panicking and started to spray with there guns around them when the old man started to shoot after them. his shots didnt take them down at once.

You're a little bitch. You don't think people should have the right to defend themselves? What kind of man are you?

Guns are a great equalizer. A frail old woman can protect her life from multiple attackers that are bigger than her how is that not a great thing? I can rest assured knowing I have my glock under my bed. If some piece of shit tries to break into my house in the middle of the night when I'm at my most vunerable I will be able to protect myself and my loved ones. Guns are the great equalizer. Get that through your brain filthy hippy f.aggot.

Maybe if your girlfriend or mom gets raped or murdered in the middle of the night you will change your mind.

[Agnostic007]

I don't know the gentlemans background so maybe it was just blind luck the robbers were in the same area, and there were no bystanders in the line of fire or behind the robbers. But just based on the video it appears the gentleman knew what he was doing and did a great job. He had eyes on both of them. in critiqueing it, he gets high marks for balls and awareness of his targets. I'd have to mark him down for exposing himself so much and not seeking cover to fire from. With one robber he would have been fine engaging and closing in while firing, but with two.. it's a risk. Finally, after the thugs fled I would advise him to remain vigilant at the doorway as one might double back for some insane reason and want to come in blasting. Unlikely, but why risk it. Overall, well done.

There's nothing quite like anecdotes of extreme situations where a brave and ballsy man saves the day 

If he saved the day by killing people, then you can too! It's so easy, isn't it?

FYI, the scenario you just described I'd say he had all rights to take those thugs down, I mean it really doesn't get much more extreme than that. But a few anecdotes(that gun people like to tell all the time) here and there just doesn't cut it when you try to justify making an already risky situation lethal. 

If one of my family members got killed or seriously injured because a nearby victim didn't feel like being someones bitch I'd hunt that fucker down and shove his concealed weapon right up his ass.

What if that "fucker" asks for your wallet and tells you to bend over? 
Then your loved ones are dead, you're broke, and their killer is balls deep in your "I'll gladly bend over any day" ass.

You're probably way more likely to die in traffic than getting killed by some murdering crackhead. Are you going to stop driving vehicles from now on? You don't wanna be some statistic, right?

But when a murdering crackhead has a gun pointed at your head while you're not in your car.....I'm pretty sure the probability of dying in traffic loses top billing. 

I don't think you understand these "statistics" you speak of. 

[doison]

I'm trying to find some real statistics on this issue and came across this from the FBI website:

"Injuries, Deaths, and Hostages Taken

Acts of violence were committed during 201 of the 5,086 robberies, burglaries, and larcenies that occurred during the 12-month period. These acts included 70 instances involving the discharge of firearms, one instance involving an explosive, and 116 instances involving assaults. (One or more acts of violence may occur during an incident.) These acts of violence resulted in 88 injuries, 13 deaths, and 30 persons taken hostage."

http://www.fbi.gov/stats-services/publications/bank-crime-statistics-2011/bank-crime-statistics-2011

Out of 5.086 bank robberies in the United States, only 13 people died. That's a roughly 0.2% risk of someone getting killed if you find yourself in a bank robbery. I'd interpret that as a very low risk considering how serious a bank robbery is.

Studies show that it drops to 0.0% after I shoot him in the face a few times.
