59. It's not necessary to kill him

Mon May 26, 2014, 03:57 PM

May 2014

Yes I agree it's necessary to disarm him ASAP, but there are multiple non-lethal ways to do that.

However, I'm sick of proposing new rules only to be shot down by gun lovers who refuse to tell us what they would accept.

The rules will change and if they don't change soon the eventual change will be a lot less palatable to the gun lovers than they can believe possible.

Some of the gun lovers here need to suggest their own remedies, or they'd better believe those of us sick and tired of living in fear WILL come for their guns.
