Firearms Refresher course

FIREARMS REFRESHER COURSE
1. An armed man is a citizen. An unarmed man is a subject.
2. A gun in the hand is better than a cop on the phone.
3. Glock: The original point and click interface.
4. Gun control is not about guns; it's about control.
5. If guns are outlawed, can we use swords?
6. If guns cause crime, then pencils cause misspelled words.
7. Free men do not ask permission to bear arms.
8. If you don't know your rights you don't have any.
9. Those who trade liberty for security have neither.
10. The United States Constitution (c) 1791. All Rights reserved.
11. What part of "shall not be infringed" do you not understand?
12. The Second Amendment is in place in case they ignore the others.
13. 64,999,987 firearms owners killed no one yesterday.
14. Guns only have two enemies: rust and liberals.
15. Know guns, know peace and safety. No guns, no peace nor safety.
16. You don't shoot to kill; you shoot to stay alive.
17. 911 - government sponsored Dial-a-Prayer.
18. Assault is a behavior, not a device.
19. Criminals love gun control -- it makes their jobs safer.
20. If guns cause crime, then matches cause arson.
21. Only a government that is afraid of its citizens tries to control them.
22. You only have the rights you are willing to fight for.
23. Enforce the "gun control laws" we have, don't make more.
24. When you remove the people's right to bear arms, you create slaves.
25. The American Revolution would never have happened with gun control.
26. "...A government of the people, by the people, for the people..."

One of my favorite arguments that ignorant liberals sometimes make is " Is anything you own worth a human life?" I think they are way off the mark, anyone who would hold you up just for your wallet or other possessions is obviously willing to forfeit YOU'RE life for the dollar in your pocket. people who commit armed robbery and break into your house have no regard for human life and are a distinct threat to the lives of you and others. You are not taking a human life when you kill one of these people, you are defending yours, because they will kill you.

Funny thing. The highest crime states are also the states with the harshest gun laws. My psych teacher always used to say "When guns are outlawed only outlaws will have guns." Pretty obvious but it makes a point. A criminal is far less likely to hold a place up when he knows there's a good possibility that he's not the only one there with a weapon. I wish more people would take advantage of their rights.

RIGHT ON RIPSNORT! people need to realize these things, especially when half this country is under lunatic rule of some kind - i'm thankful i live in KENTUCKY our last governor election, both candidates had a A rating from the NRA - thats right even the democrat. we didnt have to worry about that issue. but one state north in ILLinois you probably heard in the news they arrested that guy who shot a man who was breaking into his house for the second nite in a row, cuz he feared for his children and was tired of calling the cops. Wake up America ???
one u forgot for ur list - Ted Kennedy's car has killed more people than my gun
"i got a shotgun a rifle and a 4 wheel drive and a country boy can survive "

just some info here- if you want to hear the GOO Dnews about firearms ownership, go to www.ar15.com they have recent updates on good firearms stories, like the one listed above about the guy shooting the burgler who broke in 2 nites in a row, just cause of that case they are trying to change the law so that people who use UNLICENSED handguns in *legitimate* self defense cases DONT get charged with posession of an unlicensed handgun.

" they can have my rifle when they pry it from my cold dead hands"

That's right Fire; a Newfie bud of mine, Sgt Tom>Army of Canada, just shakes his head at the laws/regs happening north of the border; and it's hit west Washington too. I don't need to shoot 'em too much, but i like knowing my guns are available- Most are locked up, but my 12ga and .22 are handy for coyotes. And i hope nothing else . . .

"There is nothing more dangerous or useless then an unloaded firearm. "
My dad when I was 7 years old.

"Among the many misdeeds of the British rule in India, history will look upon the act of depriving a whole nation of arms, as the blackest."
--Mahatma Ghandi (Mahatma K. Gandhi Gandhi, An Autobiography, page 446)

"This year will go down in history. For the first time, a civilized nation has full gun registration. Our streets will be safer, our police more efficient, and the world will follow our lead into the future."
--Adolf Hitler, April 15, 1935 during his Berlin Day speech

God's word say's" The thief comes not but to steal , kill , and destroy" . God was talking about a different thief, but if you come to do either in my neighborhood, it will get ugly and fast. I live in a very rural area of Alabama, we have only county sheriff protection, which is almost nothing at night. By the time they get there, it will be over, one way or another.

I personally know the chief investigator for our county, and he say's " As long as he's in the house when I get there , it's self defense."

Nuff said.

ok, ive always pondered this quote... does it mean, that the streets are safer with ARMED citizens, or the streets are safer cause the police know who is armed?

I humbly beg to make a couple of modifications...

[23. Enforce the "gun control laws" we have, don't make more. ]
23. More gun laws?!, remove the ridiculous ones we already have.

[25. The American Revolution would never have happened with gun control.]
25. The American Revolution started BECAUSE of gun control.

(Foot note:The battle at Lexington/Concord happened because of the Brits attempting to confiscate a weapons cache.)

When push comes to shove, how many of us are ready to do what needs to be done? Got the gun?, got the ammo?, are you well practiced?

I think it was Ben F. that said if we don't stand together we shall surely hang separately.

its just something hitler said. people quote it is to show what kind of leader and government favor strict gun control- a point of reference to what some of our politicians are trying to do here. and Stalin was the same way. see a pattern?

remember boys a unloaded gun is a stick
