Certianly no member of the IRA, no farmers in Bath, Michigan, no hippie cult leaders.... <br /><br /> I guess I am "deluding yourself with 'any one can flip out and if you have a billion the odds are better'." --Except it's not *anyone,* it's someone; and the more people you have, the more crazies you get, the more wacky death-worship notions you get, the more criminals you get, the more killers you get. Pol Pot's followers weren't Muslims. The Nazis weren't Muslims. Yeah, right here and now, if a guy blows you up or does a big public mass shooting, odds are good he writes backwards cursive and goes to worship on Friday -- but you are deluding yourself if you think that's the only risk. In fact, you are at more risk from a junkie or punk who wants your wallet, right now, hand it over, with a revolver wavering back and forth in his hand. He may kill you dead with nary a hint of the Koran. <br /><br /> It's a dangerous world. Right now, a particular religious philosophy is one of the bigger and most visible sources of that danger; and once civilization slaps them down, however many generations hence, there will be another source.Roberta Xhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09956807794520627885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5837660608809488753.post-72519643190747164412016-06-14T01:34:27.609-04:002016-06-14T01:34:27.609-04:00The Orlando scum did the pilgrimage to Saudi Arabi...The Orlando scum did the pilgrimage to Saudi Arabia. <br />Twice. <br />His father worships the Taliban. <br /><br />Mateen was a full blown jihadi just waiting for ISIS callout weeks before. <br /><br />If you haven't read the Koran and studied their 1400+ year reign of terror, you're deluding yourself with " any one can flip out and if you have a billion the odds are better". <br /><br />EVERY PEW POLL shows more and more Muslims here and abroad admitting they sympathize with sharia, AQ and ISIS. <br />Or you can keep your head in the sand and hope they don't slice it off while you aren't looking.

Ammo doesn't help at all in a court of law, unless you count lawyers and money as ammo. Get yourself stuck in the middle of a hostile mob, no amount of ammo is enough. Sometimes the best response to a problem is something other than returning fire.fast richardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05947715402204312013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5837660608809488753.post-20556855378820091962016-06-13T10:37:19.713-04:002016-06-13T10:37:19.713-04:00I would hope that I had enough ammo to handle all ...I would hope that I had enough ammo to handle all the problems.<br /><br />MerleMerlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17351769452837850427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5837660608809488753.post-39342519468637820812016-06-13T06:12:34.453-04:002016-06-13T06:12:34.453-04:00The arrest reports summarized in previous news sto...The arrest reports summarized in previous news stories about this guy make him sound like a horse's ass at best. <br /><br /> I find it difficult to believe anyone who owns an AR-15-type rifle could be unaware of the hostility California law has towards them.
