If the situation warranted to where someone could take out some nutbar with a rifle or ball bat or a bloody truck for that matter because that nutbar was killing my neighbours or their kids , you bet .

Ok. I have seen some dumb things on this forum and others. What quoted above has got to be the dumbest one though. And by a stretch I should add. Luls.


P.S. Lol at colt. Just under two weeks ago, referring to colt, I wrote in the antlerless moose (or something like that) thread:

So youre saying that Switzerland having a strong militia, that was able to mobilize quickly, had no effect on Hitlers decision not to invade?

So the militia having every man issued a rifle to keep in their home did have an impact on whether Switzerland was invaded or not? Im not sure what your getting at with your previous comment?

No, it did not have any impact whatsoever.

P.S. this discussion is way out of bounds of the topic at hand though.
