Coward is a bad word, I'd say overly cautious and aggressive.
Many Americans legitimately believe there is an ongoing arms race between themselves, or their in-group, and gangs/the government. In the case of gangs/criminals they think the "black market" is a real place where anything is possible for anyone but it also can't be tracked or found unless you decide to be a criminal, in which case it is around every corner. In the case of government they think the government is still unable to kill them even if they wanted to, because they're as smart as Custer.
The country was on fire for the whole summer. Anybody who doesn't have a gun now is a moron or a felon. The people who's neighborhoods were spared, were spared because of the guns people brought out to ward off the approaching angry mob. Time and time again this happened.
You have the right to not own a gun. You do not have a right to insult people who have guns. It's our right and tough shit if you don't like it.
American's respect and cherish the 2nd amendment because guns are what confers the power to overthrow a tyrannical government. The government is armed to the teeth. Americans need guns to stand a fighting chance against such a powerful potential opponent. So when you think about it, what you're really asking is: are Americans cowards for wanting to show up with a gun, to a gun fight? And the answer to that is an emphatic "no."
No.
I've read news articles where gun control has been implemented that are having problems with machete attacks. I would rather deal with bullets over machetes any day. Bullets can graze or miss all together. Machetes cut deep and they never miss. Also, guns make noise. Not so with machetes. You run out of bullets rendering the gun harmless. Machetes are never harmless because they never run out.
You're three times more likely to survive a knife wound than a bullet wound, and you can run away from someone with a knife, or put a barrier between you.
In the London Bridge terrorist attack in 2017, three terrorists killed two people with their van, and six by stabbing (plus 48 injured). Don't you think they would have killed more than two people each, had they had firearms?
I'm a gun owner. I bought an AK 47 last November because I was worried about there being a coup or civil war. There was a coup, thank goodness Trumpers are idiots though and didn't do anything drastic during it. So, yes, I'm one of those mythical liberals that own a gun. A Kalashnikov at that. Am I a coward? I've never seen it that way, I look at it as being prepared.
No, Americans who support the Second Amendment are sensible.
The left wants to disarm people for one reason: they want to remove the ability of the population to resist Communist tyranny effectively.
Everything else is bullshit to create a narrative to persuade the feeble minded to hand over their means of self defence and resistance.
No. It's a god-given right to be able to defend yourself from grave bodily injury or death. The second amendment guarantees that right, and instructs the government to protect that right. The government does not GRANT that right, it is bound to insure it and protect it.
Why are you so goddam confused? I know... the mainstream media. FAIL
Some bishops kill people they do not know, raid schools, and this will continue. It is not true that automatic weapons are so common. they can also protect themselves with the pistol, if it's about protecting themselves. There are incidents with guns here, too, but no one will kill someone they don't know, it's very, very little possibility. They wanted to change the gun law in the USA, but they could not succeed. The police should ensure the safety of the people. I think people living in the United States should stop paying weapons companies to live in peace and security!
Are you a coward for wanting to protect what’s yours? Just because how we protect ourselves changes over time because of advancements from stick, stone copper, tin, bronze right to the Iron Age always protect what you have or someone is going to take it
I don't know. This Black guy told me in he south some 6'5 white dude followed him while driving and then when he stopped the dude hopped out of his car and came after him and if he didn't have a guy he would have probably been beat to death. The Black guy had a Spanish woman in the car with him, he was dating her. I guess the White guy thought she was white and obvious the white was racist.
Are criminals cowards for using guns? Yes!
Are people cowards for defending themselves, family, and loved ones from criminals with guns? No!
If guns are illegal only criminals would have them, who will defend you and yours from criminals?
If all criminals had their hands chopped off, then their be no more politicians or need for gun removal or guns. The government itself could become criminal and I won't give the criminal the gun ever, but they can have my bullets.
Nah. Other countries like guns too so why target Americans? I feel safe with guns in my house, tbh.
But other people don't feel safe when you have a gun.
I think that, if we maybe exposed people more like inner city people that have a phobia of guns to firearms and weapons safety they would become avid supporters of the 2A!
@Alexandrubaschet08 people have a right to self defense bc of the constitution and feelings are secondary
@Totkopf true!
Owning a gun increas the risk of crimes and suicides. The constitution of your is a shi*t
Alex I can't tell if you're really that ignorant or just trolling
@Totkopf If i had a gun i can kill you when ever i want :) I will melt the gun afther, burn my clothes, it will be night and dark. I don't know you, you don't know me so it will not be any conection. I'm not from your city and don't buy nothing from it. Just come kill and run. One of the perfect crime.
Boy I'd smack some sense into you but shit splatters!
@Totkopf Lucky you i'm not in USA and have no wapen to shot you.
Good job eileen, as to Alexander, boy enough with the queer sex, your gonna catch HIV bro.
@yofuknutz I don't think so, i know wher to finde my parteners, i don't do sex whit bi*ch
@Alexandrubaschet08 That makes *you* a coward, not her.
@gotc147 why?
I live in Denmark, and I also live in the United states. (Not at the same time)
While in Denmark, even though I live downtown the capital Copenhagen, I feel completely safe without a gun. I walk after dark, and sleep fine no worries.
When I'm in the United states I always carry, and I carry chambered.
The reason is simple:
In Denmark, should I get attacked or burglarized, the odds of the bad guy having a gun is slim, and he knows the odds of me having one is pretty close to zero. There's no way it will ever come to shooting.
In the states it's a different story. The bad guy will be armed, because he know I will most likely be armed too
@kimbim the governament will take all the legan guns away even for some criminals that own guns in legal way. So Danemark have a bether sistem if you know you can't get so easy shot and kill. Not like in USA wher any drunk person can shot who they want just because they misunderstand "take it easy" whit "take it pu**y"
@Alexandrubaschet08 You fear people having guns, pro-gun people have no such fear.
@gotc147 I don't know what come in the life of such a person and make him go crazy and start shoting somebody, that somebody it can be me
@Alexandrubaschet08 when I was suicidal I'd have done it regardless. I was so desperate. They protect my family from crimes. As I used to live in a city with a high crime rate, that wasn't safe. Criminals are still gonna find guns.
yes, but the criminals whit less gun. That olso mean les posibilitys of criminals whit guns to come to you. So is bether. Because moust of the criminals in USA have legan wapens so it will be easy to take them back.
Please folks don't waste your time with the troll Alexander he probably has HIV early dementia by now this is what happens when you take it up the ass like he does your brain is fried
@yofuknutz Reported to bad i don't have HIV, i whas lucky if i pass it to your mom afther last night :P
Oh I report you was a troll stop living that kind Lifestyle
@yofuknutz You are more idi*t the you think. I talking serios about evrething i say.
That's funny you should say that because your grammar tells me otherwise I mean my kid spells better than you
@yofuknutz at last i can speach more language the a dump American like you can. You want all the country to talk English? This is what you got, so deal whit it. I didn't ask to learn English, i never wanted to so i have the right to talk as the hel* i want _|_
hiv-infected treasonous bastards that's what you are in any language. When the government puts you in the gulag remember this conversation.
So like I said it's just different from country to country. Alexandra, you seem to have only picked up on the fact that I don't carry while I am in Denmark. I clearly said that in the us I always carry. It's just different yo. It ain't like I want the American way in Denmark but neither do I want us to get disarmed, and it ain't gonna happen neither.. how would you do it? Go door to door? 257 million people?
@Alexandrubaschet08 wouldn't need a weapon to break a little twiggy like you.
If you would shut up and listen to your parents and grandparents what who knew what it was like to live under a tyrannical government you wouldn't be spouting off at the mouth so ignorantly.
@kimbim Put huge sanction on thous who have already woapens if they don't bring them to ge governament. Ban for the same time all the right to buy guns, whntile the governament finish to take back all the legal guns and automat fire wapens. Afther police can stop invastigating new crime and can concentrate on thous who are already made and the police that get free from some crime work will start to work to get back all the ilegal wapens.
@Alexandrubaschet08 bruh, first of all, why? Why should the us change our/their gun laws? The constitution states that people can be armed. Lots of my friends and family in the usa have guns. I have guns. It's just the way it is in the USA. Britain drive on the wrong side. Germany has no speed limit. Different countries are different. There is no perfect country!!!
@Andres77 Dud i'm from Romania, the only damn country whi use woapens vs communist and try to kill them as much posible. You are an ignorant.
It take hundred of thousend of life because we did that. Is one of the grates atrocity in my history country. Look at Czech they get free from tirany just prostesting. No fire arms, no guns no nothing, just words, paper and flags
@Alexandrubaschet08 dude, if you're from Romania, why are you obsessing over us gun laws?
@kimbim Becaus basketball and i don't want to be shot for living my dream. :) I want to come in a safe country wher i will not need to akt fake in order to not be kill
@Alexandrubaschet08 so you won't even be a citizen? Sucks. Go to a cozy rich area in California if you're concerned maybe?
I hope for Florida, hope ther will no be any guns when i come ther so i will not be shot by a psiho person
@Alexandrubaschet08 I have lived in the usa part time since forever, and trust me, noone will just pop up and randomly shoot you.
I feel just as safe in the us as I do in Denmark
Tons of tourists come to the United states every year. A million immigrants every year.
Unless you provoke or rape or break and enter or something, trust me, noone will shoot you.
I carry my gun almost everywhere, my wife too, but we rarely actually shoot anyone
@Alexandrubaschet08 bro!!! Noone will!!!
No no noooo, there are TONS of americans just waiting for unsuspecting romanians to come here to play basketball so we can just start blasting. So stay in Romania, lay off that whiskey, and leave that cocaine be!
@Totkopf You guys have olso a lot of whiskey that you waste it, we come to help you. I will take my risk. Whntile somebody shot you, you guys will not suport the guns to be baned.
Dude is a straight cook case. These are the types of people that want to take your guns away because they a selfish pussy and the recoil from an AR would bruise their shoulder 🥺 it make big scary bang bang and then people dieded... 😭😭 This is terrible we need to take away guns so criminals can more easily murder and steal from me and my family. What's interesting is this guy really wants to shoot me for seemingly just wanting to own guns. Which is why I want to own guns. This man is the sole reason EVERYONE SHOULD HAVE GUNS.
^^^^^^^^^^^
@Totkopf Why only in USA the number of crimes made by guns are so big comparing whit Europ and Canada, Australia, place that have a very safe life.
I whas in more then 10 country and i didn't meet any criminal who have a gun.
The criminals will have more dificul acces to woapens. What can't understand. Evrywhere you look, afther the country ban the guns the crimes get lower. Self protection whas in Europ in sentuary 17-18. The police provide you protection. In Romania if you have a legal gun you will be stop to be inspected by any police oficer that you pass by them because they are dangerous. Guns kill people and people have no right to do that. Who are you to kill another human? You have no right on the life of any other person then yourself.
@Totkopf BAN ALL THE GUNS IN USA!
KILL ALL GYPSIES!
Bro those question things you post are so scuffed... Anybody that has to come on here for advice on how not to sound creepy will never have a chance in the world
@Totkopf I agree whit you for the gypses. :)
@Alexandrubaschet08 bro literally noone is gonna kill you. Damn bruh, if we killed people in the us at the rate you imagine, there wouldn't be nobody alive!!!
"Take your chances " omg I don't think you really understand. It's not like anyone is gonna wait for a chance to shoot at you.
I'm a foreigner, or kinda, and noone shot me (at least not yet)
Unless you seriously provoke people or do something crazy like break into a house you ain't gonna get shot
If you are this cripplingly scared of guns thou, you might not want to go to the us
But otherwise take some of your American friends/ contact/host whatever and have them take you to the range and shoot an hour or two yourself so you at least know how it works and stuff
My 13 year old boy shot ar and rifle and handgun and everything. He ain't scared.
Have you ever heard of a tourist in the us getting randomly killed off for walking down the street?
@Alexandrubaschet08 Go back to watching CNN
@Mr_Dangerous bro I feel sorry for this guy. I've never heard of anyone who thought this way.
European people find it funny and weird and stuff the 2nd amendment. I have a friend who will only visit me in the us if I pack up my guns... but this guy is crazy scared lol
@Alexandrubaschet08 oh that is the point bro!! That is why she have a gun duh!
@kimbim I've seen worse cases, like our current "president" biden, taking care of trans bathrooms as the first thing right when he became prez officially LOL
And that fukwit will want to take our guns so thank your state if they veto his order.
Yea that was his priority first thing in office lol. Ridiculous
I won't be giving up my guns, going for a classic boat ride when that day comes
I kinda doubt he will follow through this gun deal seriously
Best case scenario is we get a lull, 4 years of basically just stagnation.
@Totkopf yeah but I meant the guns. 2and amendment. He ain't gonna touch it. It'll be worse than the tiny protests a few days ago where they ... um... breached the door... so to say..
No I understood you clearly, I'm just saying that under this administration all that happens is we get biden gaffes flooding the media for 4 years.. no civil war bullshit or kamala invoking 25th.
That's what I'm hoping for I didn't mean to frame it in such a way like I know this will happen lol
@Totkopf lol... well we're gonna see what happens... my wife and I still own an apartment overseas so we can still flee if it goes to hell...
Good idea, I was thinking switzerland if I have the resources. Best of luck to you brother
@Totkopf and you as well
@Alexandrubaschet08 and? I don't feel safe that they want to take my right to bare arms away from me. Makes me think that they are trying to disarm me because they want to hurt me (you know, like every other government that has disarmed the populace). So now what? Who's feelings matter more now mine or other peoples?
I think, this 'protection' scenario is just an excuse.
in reality it's just that many are fond of guns and they like shooting.
Now add some strong-armed cowboy bla bla and 'you' can feel good about yourself.
In my own innocent younger days I was focused on explosives. I made the newspapers only once - and no one got killed anyway.
The people who have built up the gun culture has also built a culture of fear of "having your guns taken away" and the people who do usually own guns are not sufficiently trained in the safety and use of a firearm and they have it because it's cool or something.
Not counting hunters, because hunters usually are trained in the use and safety of guns.
any sources for any of that?
You're just making stuff up without actually knowing anything about it.
Actually, hunters aren’t “trained” the way you think they are. 9/10 times their grandfather taught them through target practice with squirrels in the backyard. No safety, no glasses, no ear muffs. Then at the age of 16 years old or younger they go to the boat dock and get their license to hunt. 🙌🏼🙌🏼
I love having my freedom and liberties...
The bill of rights it guarantees us Americans the right of free speech, the right to keep and bear arms , the right to public assembly , so on so forth...
Does that make me a coward for liking and wanting firearms... Hell No!
Does it make you look like an anonymous jackass for asking such a question... Yes it does.
Of course they are cowards. Stand up and be murdered by some leftist rioter or illegal alien gang thug like a man and stop trying to defend yourself you coward!
That kind of silly mentality of thinking people are cowards for acknowledging that a life and death situation isn't a game and as such the odds shouldn't be fair is the biggest reason why so many innocent people are murdered every year across the world. Luckily in the US, we know better than that and we know that firearms are by far the best tools to survive a deadly force encounter and we won't give them up.
LOL no. How is it cowardice to want to defend ones self. Thats like calling someone that carries mace, or learns a martial arts a coward.. To defend your self you use the tools that you have..
Additionally out of all of the nations on the planet. We are the only ones that no one would want to attack. Seriously, there is no nation out there that is stupid enough to to attack us directly because we would leave that country a nuclear crater.
Hell yes.
In my opinion, the US still lives in the wild west when it comes to weapons.
Their neighbors, Canada, have restricted access to weapons and reduced their crimes.
Europe has difficult access to weapons, and our crimes are few.
Switzerland has 1 in 4 armed citizens, but no one is shot because of their education, the checks they make on gun owners.
I think some Americans go crazy over them. I don’t own a gun, I’ve thought about owning one, but there’s no point. I don’t live in a high crime neighborhood and I don’t go hunting. If I lived somewhere with more crime, I would consider owning a firearm.
