Why liberals need to own guns
I know all the old arguments against it. Forget them. All liberals should own a gun, and here's why:

http://thismodernworld.com/2930

Jonathan Schwarz:
Only so many ways to be crazy

On the day when Ann Coulter and Pat Robertson finally send the death squads to kill you and me and our families and everyone we know, whose fault will it be? Well, that’s obvious: it will be our fault.

Glenn Reynolds learnedly explains this for us here:

Peter Ingemi writes that the antiwar left has made Haditha morally irrelevant:

There is one aspect about Haditha that seems to be ignored by everybody.

Our press and the anti-American left both in this country and outside of it has been reporting “Hadithas” over and over again over the last three years.

Time and time again our friends have accused us of every possible atrocity that there is to the point that internationally people are already able to believe this or the 9/11 stuff or all the rest.

Because of this, internationally it is totally irrelevant if the Marines actually violated the rules of war. Our foes are going to say that we’ve done things if we do them or not, so the only people that it really matters to will be the people killed (and family) and the people in our own country who support the military.

The real danger is that we who support the war will reach the point that we say “we might as well be taken as wolves then as sheep”. At that point the left can celebrate that they have made our military and those who support it the people they claim we are. Once that happens however any compunction about respecting them will be gone, and remember one side is armed and one is not.

That is a fate that I don’t wish on any of us.

Neither do I.


It would be easy to say this is straight out of Nazi propaganda. So let me say it: this is straight out of Nazi propaganda. If anyone with time on their hands wants to look through this archive, I guarantee you’ll find a dozen statements just like it—the same weepy self-pity and righteous sense of victimization from people with all the power, the same warnings that the powerless are soon going to get what they’ve been asking for FOR SO LONG, etc....

3. I used to be extremely anti-gun
never did I feel that people should be disarmed but I never thought I would own a gun. Never!
I've taken a 360 on that.

Protect yourself and your family.

6. I have used the name..
... "armedliberal" on other boards, it really messes with the heads of the freeptards.

I own a firearm for every purpose, including handguns, rifles, and shotguns. I'm not a "gun nut", these are tools that have a purpose in present and possible futures.

Don't forget the ammo, there are signs that rather than controlling gus which the right knows is politically infeasible, they will try to make bullets difficult to get. :)

10. I agree. and add that our party leaders stop trying the ban useful arms.

I know that comment will draw heat, but really, we've got to stop taking away firearms from US civilians willing to undergo a National Instant Criminal Background Check evaluation when buying from a dealer.

15. You should be afraid
Choosing to not protect yourself and your family in this climate of hate and intolerance with a government bent on stripping you of your constitutional rights is like trying to reason with an insane person. It can't be done.
I agree, most of what is piped out of the WH via the media whores are lies, however, they are insane......and 29% is still a hell of a lot when you consider the hate and anger and the complete obedience to their master........in the name of god.

14. What kind of gun should I get
I already have a shotgun, but I was thinking about an AR-15






and then maybe a glock .45




I figure those three should be enough, with lots of ammo!!

any other suggestions?

16. I wish I could accuse you of being paranoid.
However, history indicates that that is not the case.
