- You think shooting someone because they break into your house is justified? Or do they actually have to do something, like rape a family member or strangle the cat, first? Either way, I think it's strange to keep assault weapons (notice the plural) in your remotely located farm because you fear intruders

Unless of course the intruders are just as well armed. They don't have to subject themselves to any laws governing gun ownership.
- [quote name='"[n*e*r*d*].SplitKick"] Which brings us to the protection from the government point. I understand you see some shortcomings in your federal government. I see them too' date=' and to be honest, it even scares ME a little. And I live safely in the Netherlands. That is, until the International Court of Justice in The Hague puts an American to trial, in which case we might be invaded by US troops. But I digress. If you are not content with your government, how is a gun going to help you? I understand the voting ballots in your electoral system are kind of tough to punch trhough, but I doubt you need a gun for that. Or are you maybe worried about teh federal government showing up on your doorstep, demanding your wife and daughter for their new Ubermensch breeding program? In that case you'd better bring your own army, cause I doubt you and your assault rifle are going to make much of a difference then.[/quote']
Odd, The british could offer you a serious rebuttal there. See, they tried to take our guns on raids in Concord and Lexington. Look where that got them. I appreciate your input, and I know that you guys did everything you could to defend your country from foreign aggression in 1940. Americans have longer memories. We want someone to ask us nicely before they strip rights from us.
We'll keep our guns; you can go back into your windmill, asshole.
