Pacifists! Kill them all!
It's easy, they don't fight back.

And they don't have guns! Pacifists... those evil bastards! they don't want to kill anyone!

11. This is probably why I shouldn't post when sleep-deprived.
:crazy: It was one of those things that made sense in my head at the time, but in actuality just makes me look like a stupid asshole. :blush: Sorry about that! :hug: :hi:

5. If you were a true pacifist you wouldn't care if others owned guns.
You are attempting to dictate other peoples options when it comes to self defense. Hate to break it to you fella but guns will never be banned in the United States. The second amendment guarantees my right to keep & bear arms.

6. You might want to ask why...
this is the only developed country where we need guns.

Or think we do.

Which is better-- and armed citizenry able to defend itself or a citizenry that has nothing to defend itself from?

10. How close do the coyotes come to your livestock?
I have a pack nearby that have been getting to the point of needing to be dealt with. Poison is dangerous because it kills anything that eats it. I would hate to kill raccoons, skunks & other scavengers without good cause.

I also live in a county that has two deputies covering the entire county at any given time. While crime is low here there is always a possibility. Better to have a gun & not need it than to need one & not have it.

12. So, a gun is primarily a farm tool. That's...
reasonable, although I have no idea why other agricultural implements aren't identified in the Constitution.

I'm not being snarky here. My point is why we are the only developed country to feel such a need for this "protection?"

14. I guess it is because it was written into our bill of rights.
Apparently other countries don't have such rights. It has nothing to do with "feelings" or "needs". We have a right as American citizens to keep & bear arms. Did you know more people are killed every year by drunk driving accidents than are murdered by firearms? Drunken driving is not included in our bill of rights but it takes a much higher toll. Where is the outrage about that? Nobody ever mentions the "booze culture".

7. I am a pacifist in development,
and I don't care whether or not you have guns, as long as they aren't loaded and available to people who will cause harm, and as long as you cause no harm with them.

I'd also like it if you didn't target practice within hearing distance of me, lol.

9. Larry is a mix of American Eskimo & mutt.

This is his mother who was an American Eskimo. I adopted her while she was pregnant. Luckily only two pups lived so I kept them. I lost her this past summer to kidney failure.

This is Larry's dad, Buddy. I adopted him the same time as Angel because their owners house burned down up the road & they couldn't take them to the apartment in town. I also adopted one of their pups from a previous litter who was also pregnant. (she only had one survive) They were all headed to the pound if I didn't take them & in our rural area the dogs are put down within 24 hours. Best thing I ever did for myself.

Moe, Curly & Larry.

18. It also states you have a right to peaceful assembly... but you don't. You have a right...
not to be tortured... unless the President decides he should torture you. You have the right to be free in your persons, papers and effects... but not really. See... you may technically have a right to bear arms but like all the rest of these "rights", their scope is subject to debate. With the constitution lying all shit-stained in the corner... no rights are inviolate.

13. It's often what happens
Jesus, Ghandhi, and King all met with violent deaths. Sadat was shot to death when he strayed from the True Religion of the Myth of Redemptive Violence. Ronald Reagan died peacefully in his sleep.

15. These anti gun rants are the reason I joined DU
Been a lurker for a few years, and could no longer stand this anti gun crap during an election year! Do you want to have a GOP white house? I know you are afraid of inanimate pieces of metal dropping out of the sky, but give it a rest.

17. As a true Leftist I admire Pacifists but know that they will NEVER...
...bring about single payer health-care, living wages, a equalized economy nor a populist society.

Y'all are nice and cuddly but not change agents.

19. Pacifism is alive, War is a dead man walking (the history of war)
At the beginning of the world; first there was the fist for defense, then the rock, then the spear, the bow and arrow, then the gun, then the cannon, then the Atom bomb, then the Neutron bomb.
