Self - defense if one or more protesters carrying a legal gun and licence, had shot at the 2 residents, thinking they were threatened by them, as they were pointing firearms ? You forgot something ! The blm people enter private property! Thats illegal! More than likely if those residents were shot and killed ,those thugs all would be accessory to murder! And if the other way around the husband and wife would have every right to use deadly force according to Missouri law 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you honestly think it would have been written if they had known rifles would become what they are now? One could take your argument and say there should not be freedom of the press, because hardly anyone uses a printing press nowadays. Furthermore, in those earlier times it was legal to own a canon. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Majority of people are against law allowing ownership of assault weapons in the 2018 poll. It is the GOP lawmakers that were resisting the ban. You do know that "assault weapon" is not a real term? Right? Technically a butter knife is an assault weapon if you use it to stab somebody. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You got some right that it is a semi-auto assault rifle. I am quite certain that it is a M-16. I was trained in the M-16 precursor AR-15 to recognize the features. It was a US military standard service rifle and also used by other armed forces around the world. While the US military has largely replaced the M16 in frontline combat, the rifle is still standard army issue assault rifle aka military grade. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Matzzon Posted June 30, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted June 30, 2020 4 hours ago, Mama Noodle said: Except Im talking about defending my home and my wife defending hers. Ive had guns since I was a kid, and the US government tought me how to use them, so I wouldn't worry too much about me or the wife killing people. What are you talking about here? The military thought you how to use weapons or war, right? That´s far from using them for defense to have the knowledge to kill somebody with them. As I understand your wife had a gun too. Thai government have probably not thought her how to use it. You probably did that. Meaning that you have the knowledge how to kill people with a weapon or war, which means that she has the same knowledge now. In reality you should worry a lot about that. However, all of how you use a gun is irrelevant. This thread was about a madman and his wife, trying to tell people that they were protecting their homes and lifes. How can that be possible when there is no information about any threats or that anybody were trespassing. Nobody tried to break into their homes or kill them. If they just let them walk by with their protest all had been good. Oh sorry, I forgot! You had been thought to shoot first and ask later. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nausea Posted June 30, 2020 Share Posted June 30, 2020 The rumour is this couple are Democrats and BLM supporters, and that the husband is representing some black guy in an action against the police. If that's true, oh, the irony, liberal NIMBYs, now vilified by the left and eulogised by the right. Incidentally, they need some serious gun training, they're lucky they didn't shoot each other by accident, never mind one of the "protesters".

Absolute BS and every available metric disproves that statement. Feel free to post statistics to disprove what im saying ???? Total deflection. What about the school kids getting gunned down? Of the 36,383 Americans killed with guns each year, 22,274 are gun suicides (61%), 12,830 are gun homicides (35%), 496 are law enforcement shootings (1.4%), and 487 are unintentional shootings (1.3%). On average, 100,000 Americans are wounded with guns each year, often with life-altering consequences. Roughly three-quarters of nonfatal shootings are gun assaults. About a fifth are unintentional shootings. Very few nonfatal shootings are suicide attempts—less than 5%—and between 1 and 2% are shootings by law enforcement. https://lawcenter.giffords.org/facts/gun-violence-statistics/ Edited June 30, 2020 by spidermike007 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baerboxer Posted June 30, 2020 Share Posted June 30, 2020 7 hours ago, RJRS1301 said: These people were not rioting, or looting or burning, it was a peaceful protest. If worried wait inside and have your escape/defense ready, not become confrontational out front and risk stirring people up. The protesters were trespassing on private property. They were not on public property, a gate had been damaged to gain entrance, and they were illegally remaining on private property. Are there any trespass laws in the US? No need to confront them and engage in insult slinging though. Should have just stood there with weapons clearly visible. People have the right to protest peacefully. There is no right to trespass and cause criminal damage afaik. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
