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 :yup: ).

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.

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.

I've asked this of people who don't think anyone "needs" a gun for home and self defense: "Have you ever heard of an unarmed victim of a violent crime that was glad they did NOT have a gun to protect themselves? Because, let me tell you, I used to think that guns were evil and even the word frightened me. I've been the victim of violence, and when my attacker was strangling and raping me, I sure wished I had a gun right then."

This country can't keep 10 million illegal people out or illegal drugs from South America out of the pockets of Junior High kids, yet they think they can make more laws against guns and actually keep them out of the hands of criminals and crazies at the expense of the rights and safety of law-abiding citizens.
