The NRA doesn't want people exercising their rights, never have. They just want to make money off of those who will do so at whatever cost.
That's what I thought as well... But somehow there would be a market with people who's rights are ambushed and violated right now...
Don't mistake that for me condoning any form of violence or people carrying guns.
What if I walked into your house and just started taking whatever I wanted, would you condone any form of violence then? And if not, where do you live?
Guess then we'd all know what kind of person you are. But seems it ain't necessary, as you already showed that here.
I don't give a fuck about your shit, I'm making a point.
There are people like that in this world and if you know what's good for you, you'll start thinking long and hard about your answer to that question now, before you have to invent your answer on the spot.
There's no special prize associated with taking the "no violence, ever" position, but there are serious consequences, and most people with your viewpoint don't consider those consequences until it's already happened to them.
I had a friend with that viewpoint once. He was the victim of a home invasion. Three masked men broke into his house with bats and knives, repeatedly raped him, his girlfriend, and his best friend slash roommate, then tied them all up naked and stole everything they own. The masked men were caught, but none of my friends were the same after that. Every one of them changed their mind about violence and regretted not having the means to defend themselves. They all said the same thing, "Given the choice between living with what happened or living with having killed those people, I'd rather live with having killed them."
The kind if person I am, is someone who would like you to consider, which of those outcomes would be easier for you to live with.
