(11,690 posts)9. If you are arming up and training for urban warfare, need more than a 38 special or shotgun
        for HOME protection, etc., you should be under surveillance. Most public toters are scum like George Zimmerman and/or too paranoid/afraid to be trusted with lethal weapons.

        I'm convinced gunners don't spend time arming up and training because they don't want to shoot someone.

        A LOT of drunks are drivers, too.  Cars and booze don't mix, either.  What's lame about saving lives???
