Your best "One Line Defense"

[discoboxer]

Well, it's getting heated out there and it's probably going to become pretty nasty over the next couple weeks.

There are a lot of witty people on this forum and most of us have the same goals, the preservation of our right to keep arms. I'm sure almost all of us will find ourselves in a conversation where we are defending our rights (if not, then engage ).

What are some "one liners" that you have heard and can share for the rest of us to add to our arsenal. They can be serious or fun.

Common Examples:

"When seconds count, cops are minutes away"

"I keep a gun because a cop doesn't fit in my pocket"


Let's hear them!

I don't really encounter many people that are antis/make it known that they are except for on the internet and I try to get into discussions with them so I don't resort to one liners.

[discoboxer]

I hear ya blitzburg, but also looking to have some fun and lighten the mood lately with some humor. A good discussion can go a long way, but so can some humor to keep people from escalating.
