Not only decry the 2nd amendment, but will actively confiscate them if kamala Harris has anything to do with it. 

All in the name of protecting " our babies". 

Then Completely fails to see the irony in that statement when she promotes 9 month terminations. 

Kamala Harris nor Biden has any plans in that direction.

I didn't read every comment, so this may have already come up, but part of the problem is the wife in that couple pointing the gun at people with her finger on the trigger.  That's not a safe practice. 

 

Of course more conservative Americans would support what they were doing, in general, but people familiar with gun safety and use of guns don't do that.  And if they do it's likely to violate a local law, because you risk someone else's life by not knowing how to handle your own weapon.  She's lucky that she didn't shoot her husband.  If she had taken firearm training courses and just forgot that part in the heat of the moment that's not really ok.  For everyone here not familiar with basics, I was taught these things as a child, so that by the age of 7 or 8 I could handle a handgun more responsibly than her:

 

1.  treat every gun as if it's loaded, even when you know it's not

2. don't point a gun at anyone or anything you don't intend to shoot (which does not include acting threatening; mimicking Hollywood movies isn't ok, I guess up until you are actually in a Mexican standoff, then what can you do)

3.  don't put your finger on the trigger until you are going to fire the weapon

Out of curiosity is the photo of female officers anti-terrorism police in the UK?

Looks like Liverpool Street Train station in London.

Same thing would happen to a violent mob that broke my outer fence to come into my yard and threaten me or my family.  This begs the question: what would liberals do if it happened to them?  Call the police--and hope nothing bad happens in the next 10-20 minutes?

Thanks for posting this vid, simple1.  That was a frickin' awesome speech.<SNIP>

It's 'interesting' how a supposedly rational human being considers the extreme divisiveness and conspiracy nonsense from the likes of Eric trump; 'awesome' - I assume you find it amusing. Looks increasingly likely he will end up being a convicted criminal - something really awry in the trump world - hopefully US can quickly recover after trump and his enablers are removed.

That's right, in the UK they go down on one knee to them. Unless of course they are veterans protecting statues, or members of the public walking their dog on the moors, or a child playing in his front garden. 

Then it's the full force of the law. 

I suppose you're being asinine troll. However....British security forces are renowned for their effectiveness in confronting armed terrorists and threats. As a UK citizen I find your smear of HMG security forces extremely inappropriate for those who risk thier lives, have lost their lives or been injured fighting threats to the UK and allies.

I'm glad you don't live in my country! In the USA your innocent till proven guilty! The couple hasn't been to trial!

 

The way the law is structured in Missouri, a citizen has the right to protect themselves and  property and if they feel  threaten, they can exercise lethal force! 

 

Under what is referred to as “The Castle Doctrine”, Missouri laws allow individuals to use deadly force against intruders who disrupt the sanctity of private property and intend to cause harm. A legal owner of private property has no duty to retreat and has the right to use deadly force to prevent an attack.Jun 17, 2019.

 

https://kcdefensecounsel.com/the-criminal-defense-of-self-defense-in-missouri/#:~:text=Under what is referred to,force to prevent an attack.

 Have you followed the events that led up to that!!!!

 

 

Yep get that, suggest you explain that to all the African Americans the police have killed for no good reason.

It was a gate Macho Man and No , I bet you wish you were there to show your manhood , I mean weapon , lil man 

[Rookiescot]

I would say the only people who should be allowed to own firearms are responsible, well balanced individuals who know how to use them.

Those two snowflakes are not that.

And Trump got the loons up on a stage to support him?

Wow.

The George Soros funded Open Society Foundation has made no secret of their support for "progressive" candidates in local district attorney races around the country (U.S.) and it has provided financial support for their campaigns.

As far as I know it's legal in the USA to support campaigns from people who like to get elected.

In case a conservative candidate gets support for his campaign i.e. from GOP donors, how would you call that? Are they "paid" like you wrote in your original post?

Too bad they took away your right to bear arms in UK.  So how would you defend yourself?

The need to protect oneself with guns seems to be a problem unique to the USA.

Nobody said it wasn't...the post was asking for a link between George Soros and the prosecutor in this case.

The article left out the part where the mob broke down a gate to their PRIVATE property and proceeded to taunt and threaten them.

Biden has been in government for around 40-50 years and he is a millionaire now.............I wonder how he did that?

The two gun nuts owned the entire gated community?

No damage was done at all to their property and if you watch the videos at no point were they under threat.

Indeed after having obtained their firearms they approached the demonstrators in a threatening manner  going so far as to point their weapons at the crowd.

Again, not true. The claim was made 'corrupt prosecutor bought by Soros'. Proof was requested, not given, and still not given. Only deflections about the original post and request have been given.

Once the protestors went on private property and threatened to loot the house , at that point they became looters and rioters.

I thought the US news services said that all the cities having riots, looting, and arson had Democrat mayors and Democrat Governors! Were they wrong?

the woman did, not the man, but in spite of this, the man

she really need an instructor.
