My friend that is a question for the ages, but I do know two or three of them. I used to work with a guy at the pd that had the same stance. I can even go on further, I know a Sheriff Deputy that REFUSES to carry a gun!Originally Posted by Timmy Jimmy

I am willing to bet that if someone with that metallity was kidnaped, raped and tortured for any length of time would be wishing they had a gun and would be willing to shoot

The first rule of gunfighting should be to know when the gunfight starts - being the last one to get the news certainly won't put the odds in your favor.

You would think so.
But that's not always the case.
Some people go through horrendous things, and in the end they feel as though they made it happen and deserved it somehow.
The human mind is a strange thing, and at times baffles logical thinking.

They're called tree-hugging, tie-dye t-shirt wearing, hippie liberals. Their views are based on emotion, not logic or reason. Don't waste your time with them.

If it is not in the US Constitution then the Federal Government should not be doing it.
"Carrying a gun is a social responsibility."
Well, as long as they never have to deal with any life threatening situation they will survive.
If they are involved in a life threatening situation and they get shot, stabbed, or slammed over the head....then it's (I guess) 50/50 as to if they live or not.
I wish them much luck since that is all they have in their favor.

When someone says they'd rather die than kill someone it makes me shudder. I usually ask them the following questions -
Q: Would you kill someone who was trying to knife and/or rape your child?
Q: If you found someone spreading gasoline on an apartment building and trying to light a rag to start the fire, would you kill him?
Q: If someone robs you at knife point and is angry you only had $25, then says he's going to "carve your heart out" would you kill him to stop him?
Some will answer that they'd only "stop" the person so the question in follow-up is what that entails and if the person won't stop short of being incapacitated.
If they answer no, then the follow-up questions are very harsh and pressed hard to make them answer.
Q: So you'd rather see your own child suffer agony and die rather than protect them. What does that say about you as a parent? As a person?
Q: You would let someone commit mass-murder of dozens, including children, rather than risk taking the life of a killer?
Q: You would rather let a psychopathic killer run free to kill others after he kills you? Why do you hate yourself so much that you'd let that happen?
I've found some self-described "liberals" are amoral enough to allow others to die over their beliefs.
I've found others who shrug off the questions with answers (joking) "Oh, I could always make another kid" or (dismissal) "oh, that is so unlikely it's absurd." Those are the ones I tell "You won't answer because you won't actually face reality or take any responsibility of an adult citizen." (Usually get's 'em going).

Or maybe a fruit basket......I've owned guns for quite some time, CCW'ed for about half that. Getting married and having children keeps my CCW updated as much as my own desire NOT to become a victim.

I agree with the Darwinism thoughs...these are the people that would have been eaten the animals in years gone by.
Thumper is right on point with that statement."I'd rather die than shoot anyone!" The most comforting words any perpetrator of violent crime can hear!
I personally feel that those would rather die than hurt or kill someone has having a "serious character flaw." To some people "character" means absolutely nothing to them.
I feel they have very poor self esteem and no regard for their family and how their family will suffer if they just laid down and died, and left the rest of them hanging out in the breeze.
If the entire family holds the same beliefs, then it is probably a happy family living life with head in the sand.
However, if the guys wife or kids do not hold the same views, it is probably a very sad situation with poor family dynamics.
Not a healthy home life.

They're eaten by the animals, today, as well.
