(31,261 posts)With it's sound, a shotgun typically scares intruders shitless, removing the need to kill an intruder. Only the hardcore will continue on after a shotgun blast lands near them, I figure that if I meet a person like that, no gun would be a "perfect" gun.

(2,622 posts)Cheering armed protesters, thus proving their hypocrisy.
Waiting on the calls for them to be jailed for being domestic terrorists.
Waiting on them to have the length of their penis questioned.
Waiting on reading about the Zimmy bois escaping their parents basement.
Waiting to hear them called scared cowards, and some one need to kick their ass.
Waiting on the calls for the SWAT team to roll up in their armored vehicles and teach these losers a lesson.
Waiting on the blood bath that is suggested would happen if 'a group of people of color showed up with guns'.
Popping a beer, cause I know, it's all bat guano.

As I have stated in the past, I do not believe firearms should be carried during a protest. That said, these men do have the right to do so and are breaking no law I am aware of.
