War is not the answer for only love can conquer hate.
Death solves all problems. No man, no problem. |

They were able to hold our for a full month against the German Army.
You left out what happened afterwards. Since their choices before were either the death camps or starvation in the Ghetto, the only real option they had was to die with a fight or do die without a fight. |

I've never killed anything in my life, which proves two things: 1) that I've never had to hunt for food and 2) that nothing or no one has ever tried to kill me. |

I did a lot of 1) in my younger years. Gave it up when I got older and found that a) I could afford to eat just about whatever I wanted without freezing my rear off in a blind all day, and b) I got far more pleasure out of blasting holes in pieces of cardboard and paper than I did in shooting at creatures that I thought were quite beautiful and often wished that I could enjoy without killing them. I did run into 2) once in college. I did not have to kill him since he lost all interest in proceeding when confronted with .44 calibers of stainless steel goodness pointed straight at him. The expression on a person's face when they realize that they quite possibly made the last mistake in their life is really rather interesting - although I hope I never have to see it again. |

Better to die a hero than a victim. They have my highest respect (even if they were fighting my ancestors). |

I was actually referring to the Jewish Ghetto Uprising in Warsaw.
Americans talking about history... It might be good for you to work on your anti-American prejudice. It is unbecoming for an Orthodox Christian to disdain his brothers. I don't see anything that Michał has written as being anti-American. Being critical of certain aspects of US culture doesn't make one a bigot. If you look at his points he doesn't make some valid ones that are worth considering even if you ultimately disagree. 1. There hasn't been a war fought on the US mainland since the 1860s, meaning there is no living memory of war on the home front. The memory of the Civil War in the US has been fetishized and romanticized that it has lost any real meaning to people (reenactments, really?). 2. The experience of fighting a foreign war thousands of kilometers from home is fundamentally different than fighting a war in your home town. 3. As an extension of the above, there is a huge cultural difference when 100% of the population bears the burdens of warfare vs. a small percentage. I don't see it as anti-American to consider that these factors have influenced American culture and its perception of war. |

Then you should re-read his comment above being dismissive of Americans who dare to mention history. This isn't based in reality, it is based in anti-Americanism. |

I want you to remember that no bastard ever won a war by dying for his country. He won it by making the other poor, dumb bastard die for his country. [misattributed, but still...] 3. It is foolish and wrong to mourn the men who died. Rather we should thank God that such men lived. Perhaps the reason that America hasn't fought a major foreign incursion on our own soil is because ALL Y'ALL SUCK AT WAR! |

Not jealous in the least. Btw, the guy lied to you--it's a *replica*.......... of the gun used by Howdy Doody in a hold-up of a 7 Eleven in South Bronx. Do your research, dude! |

I'm not kidding and I can show the bodies. I shot 4 skunks in the last 2 days. They were raiding my chicken coop killing my chickens! I also had to kill a raccoon last week that was also trying to raid my chickens.
I can't even say how many field rats I've killed in the past 3 months, but that's mostly with a high powered pellet gun. I've killed NUMEROUS coyotes too with my 12 gauge that were trying to break into the goat pen to eat my goats.
I have several guns in my home that are always loaded ready to shoot.
I believe mostly the objections in this thread regard the killing of people for defense... There are assuredly heavy theological arguments into the killing of people (non resistance and loving enemies etc.). I lean on the "only to defend family" end of that argument, but as a last resort. If I was a single man without children or a wife to defend, I may see things differently.
But everybody I can assure you, for somebody that has a gun in his hand at LEAST every other day (often daily) picking off some kind of critter, guns really are mandatory. The barn cats can't handle the influx of field rats, snakes, and possums.
My wife just reminded me, I also had to put down a field rabbit that was hit by a hawk and was just laying there suffering last week.
Guns are just a way of life out here.
Funny thing is, the .22 Long Rifle and .177 pellet gun (both hollow points) are MOST commonly used in a ranch setting. Shotgun is rare for a coyote, but I've done those with the .22 LR just fine.

Nice... For once I agree with Michal. Pretty cool, bro! Way to stay prepared! |

It is an education process for me as I learn about the psychology of spiritual apostasy. And others get the benefit of perhaps hearing righteousness for the first time.

It does not simplify for potential intruders to prepare to kill you.
I don't know, I see here mostly people that like guns for what they are. The way they look, the way they make sound of reloading, shooting, and like shooting for the sake of shooting. That they are weapons of defence/attack is one of the last things discussed here, at least as I see it. |

There's my home defense device.
You forgot to write how long have you been practising and where exactly you keep it. |

They were able to hold our for a full month against the German Army.
You left out what happened afterwards. Since their choices before were either the death camps or starvation in the Ghetto, the only real option they had was to die with a fight or do die without a fight. Luke 12 4“I tell you, my friends, do not be afraid of those who kill the body and after that can do no more. 5But I will show you whom you should fear: Fear him who, after the killing of the body, has power to throw you into hell. Yes, I tell you, fear him. 6Are not five sparrows sold for two penniesa? Yet not one of them is forgotten by God. 7Indeed, the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Don’t be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows. |

this is the last thread id expect in a forum like this... whats the point in even owning one?
What is the point of not owning one? No chance of accidentally shooting myself when reaching for the tylenol. If an intruder breaks in I'll karate chop her. |

Indeed. Pan Michal used the word "mostly". In English this means a majority though not an entirety. Used in a sentence: "They mostly come out at night. Mostly." There's my home defense device.
You forgot to write how long have you been practising and where exactly you keep it. Ah yes, my old Mossberg. I haven't shot that, except for trap shooting, in a while. It's in my closet these days. I still keep five rounds of buckshot in it. |

What is the point of telling dozens of thousands of people what guns does one have and how proficiently does he uses them?
Heh... And what is the point of telling dozens of thousands of people what does one believe in and how well does he understand it? It does not simplify for potential intruders to prepare to kill you. Once again, your ignorance shines through like a flash of lightning on a dark night. Seems to me, lots of people around the world are being dragged out of their house and killed for what they believe. Not so many are messed with when the thugs know the potential victim is armed. |
