Great sign

[BSM1]

Saw a great sign in front of a home on US 29N just south of Charlottesville, VA today. The message said:

"If you come after my gun, better bring yours"

The sign was about 3x4, tastefully done, and in the yard of typical brick rancher favored by many middle class families.

Isn't it great to live in a country where you have the ability to defend your right to take a stand?

 

[tumbleweed41]

I wonder which government agency was coming to take his gun, and why?

Unless you don't. Conservative signs and billboards here in the Northwest are routinely vandalized with spray paint, fire, or physical destruction. I'd say it's greater to live among people who think like you who won't challenge your right to take a stand.

Seconded. :yes:

Then that gets us nowhere, sometimes there's just one person that's got the right idea, and if they die before bringing it out to the people that'd mock him, he failed his duty in life.

Oh, that kind of sign. I thought it was more of a sign in the sky declaring the end times or something...

Pithy & cute.
I'd never put one up though.
- Such a provocative statement would be an awful thing for a prosecutor to trot out were one ever on trial for using a gun in self defense.
- It would be quickly vandalized where I live. (We're a bunch'o salivating pinko commie lefties here.)

I'm right here in VA as well. I haven't seen any signs (YET)......but I'm curious as to who they think are coming to take their guns.....:sarcastic

Democrats, Greens & Republicans, of course! But mostly Dems.
If at the moment they aren't confiscating them, it ain't for the lack of trying.
The battle continues.

Oh stop it with your boogeyman....black helicopter talk. No one, especially Dems, are coming for the guns you have.....:slap:

Maybe someone can help me understand this better.

But I've heard these type of tough guy phrases before. "They are going to have to pry my gun from my cold dead hands!!" "They want my gun they are going to have to fight me for it!!" And phrases like the sign in the OP.

But how is getting into a full blown gun fight in your house, with possibly your kids in the house, in a neighborhood, also with kids, considered to be "responsible gun ownership"?

They're just boasting....Many of them don't understand the ramifications of their rhetoric. Getting into a gun fight is the last thing they want.....Tough guy talk ends up with that tough guy in the hospital...or hospital morgue. The thing that's laughable is....no one has, is or will be coming to take their guns....

Then why so much political lip service to regulation? Why not just admit that tragedies perpetrated by criminals or crazies happen. Maybe we can stop them, maybe not; but making it almost impossible for law-abiding citizens to obtain a viable means of protecting themselves and their families is not the way to go.

Signs are designed to be pithy & provocative. Consider the oft heard (around here) leftish slogan "By any means necessary!".
A corresponding question would be.....
How responsible is it to peacefully cooperate with every governmental action no matter how tyrannical?
This country exists because a line was drawn, & violence was employed. Yet we celebrate our revolution.

You maybe right, but many people understand that they are not going to survive against a government force, but they have a very deep commitment to personal freedom. These types have already come to terms with their mortality. They, like many of their American ancestors, are willing to lay down their lives for liberty. Don't underestimate this group.

There's no lip service if said regulations are actually implemented and followed at the state level. Where's the outrage when states ban combat weapons......?

As far as crazies and law abiding citizens....at what point can you tell the difference? A guy walks into a gun show and admires a gun. He wants to buy it. No background check is done...he leaves with his gun. Some time later...if not years later...something sets him off or maybe he's been planning it all along...he goes on a killing spree...now tell me..at what point standing there buying that gun is the seller supposed to be able to identify a crazy or a law abiding citizen?

As far as protection...The argument is weak. Before ARs etc. were manufactured and sold..law abiding citizens were able to protect themselves using other weapons (guns). In more recent news...that seem to be protecting themselves are handgun owners. I have a handgun for home protection....thinking about buying another ( a sub compact - haven't seen a good one though)...

They're crazy...and I never understand crazy.

You mean lay down their lives and possibly the lives of other people around them?

They don't think that far. All talk, no walk.

More tragedies happen by criminals and not crazies daily. This is why mental health checks are irrelevant.

How responsible is it to peacefully cooperate with every governmental action no matter how tyrannical?

I love this tyrannical line that's introduced itself within the last week. Lay off the spin. (rush)

They, like many of their American ancestors, are willing to lay down their lives for liberty. Don't underestimate this group.

This is where fox and the other propaganda outlets influence their gullible base. They have tons of cash to do what they need to do. The sad part is that they take advantage of the elderly. See $arah Palin.

You mean lay down their lives and possibly the lives of other people around them?

I would bet that you would never run into an issue with an intruder and you using your gun. This is why you don't hear news stories about this happening because it's rare. Defend your home with a gun. Who cares. You wanting to live in paranoia and not reality is your own mental concern.

Sign is only relevant if you are paranoid enough to believe the government is coming to take them, which they aren't.
