My Reply to Freeper E-Mail going around...

[MiddleRiverRefugee]

I keep getting this one, and I keep answering it the same way. (My answers in italics.)

Pose the following question: You're walking down a deserted street with your wife and two small children. Suddenly, a dangerous looking man with a huge knife comes around the corner, locks eyes with you, screams obscenities, raises the knife, and charges. You are carrying a Glock 40, and you are an expert shot. You have mere seconds before he reaches you and your family.

What do you do?

Democrat Answer:
Well, that's not enough information to answer the question! Does the man look poor or oppressed? Have I ever done anything to him that would inspire him to attack? Could we run away? What does my wife think? What about the kids? Could I possibly swing the gun like a club and knock the knife out of his hand? What does the law say about this situation? Does the Glock have appropriate safety built into it? Why am I carrying a loaded gun anyway, and what kind of message does this send to society and to my children? Is it possible he'd be happy with just killing me? Does he definitely want to kill me, or would he be content just to wound me? If I were to grab his knees and hold on, could my family get away while he was stabbing me? Should I call 9-1-1? Why is this street so deserted? We need to raise taxes, have a Paint and weed day and make this a happier, healthier street that would discourage such behavior.

This is all so confusing! I need to debate this with some friends for a few days and try to come to a consensus.

As you're considering all this, you step aside, pull wife and kids out of the way. Dangerous Looking Man runs past you into street, falls into pothole not fixed since Republicans voted in a tax-free referendum, dies.

Republican Answer:

BANG!

After first shot (which misses), Glock (the manufacture of which has been recently outsourced to China) jams. Dangerous Looking Man kills you, entire family. Game over.

Southerner's Answer:

Daughter: "Nice grouping, Daddy! Were those the Winchester Silver Tips or Black Talon Hollow Points??

You have just enough time to admire 20-shot grouping in the side of Hummer H2 parked on street, until far more dangerous Hummer owner comes out of nearby house with semi-automatic. See Republican answer for result.

1. Why do freepers think all democrats would not use lethal force

in self-defense?

Just because I didn't agree that we needed to stir up another war in Iraq doesn't mean I'm opposed to righteous ass-kicking when I think it's warranted.

5. I prefer my double barrell

2. what do you think they mean by 'dangerous/'

would this be a not-so-subtle freeper-code for 'black' by any chance?

3. here was my response to it

you have it all wrong pal.... No self respecting liberal would carry a Glock 40..... we all know Tae Kwon Do that we learned as an adjunct of our Tai Chi from our Korean martial arts master (including the kids). So a guy with a knife is just looked on as a minor inconvenience.


Just thought you'd like to know.......Thanks!

[Frangible]

7. you're right, self respecting liberals carry a Glock 9mm

9x19 luger parabellum, the best round ever made!

(on a sidenote, ask a martial arts instructor on what he thinks about martial arts vs. a knife or gun. ours was a triple black belt, and said he'd run away. I'm curious as to why you think you know better than he.)

[NMDemDist2]

9. run from a gun yes, a knive? nah they train for that

in Tae Kwon Do anyway (as per my black belt hubby)

6. I answered this on another message board

Where it was posted as an "election question."

I replied, if Republicans admire people who take up arms in defense of their loved ones, why would they vote for the candidate who turned and ran instead of the one who served in Nam?

Then I posed an election question of my own: "How's it gonna feel to wake up November 3 to a duly elected Democratic President? Here's my answer: It'll feel GREAT!"

[Frangible]

8. haha

That owns.

11. I'd tell the moron there is no Glock 40

Unless Glock's web site is horribly out of date, the highest model name of handgun I could find was the Glock 36.

There is a Glock .40 gun, with model names of Glock 22, 23, 24, 27 and 35.

And, maybe this is just me, but it really doesn't take 20 shots to bring someone down. A few shots to center mass should do the trick.

Frankly, if someone sent me the above e-mail, I'd just delete it, or else tell the person to fuck off.

12. For starters

I don't carry a Glock,I would be carrying either my 4" Colt Python .357 or my M1911 Colt .45. I would either shoot him or I might just break his fucking arm while taking the knife away from him. That is,if my wife doesn't drop his ass with her Ruger SP-101 .357 first.
