My wife and grown daughters all carry 9mm rape prevention kits with them wherever they go. They're biggest problem walking out the door is deciding which holster looks best with their outfit.

i like you, can we be friends anon?

I find it kind a sad that even the people that are supposed to enforce law find themselves unable to answer the need of their fellow people.
I mean I really like the american sheriff system, but telling people to buy guns because the government isn't able to protect them anymore it just look like he's admiting he's giving up.
User avatar #70 to #29 - heartlessrobot (09/12/2013) [-]
It takes an average of 4 minutes for police to respond to a 911 call. It takes only a couple seconds to take aim and pull the trigger.
#60 to #29 - anon (09/11/2013) [-]
no, The cops will always be there, it's just that the response time is 20 mins. So why should we be defenseless until they come? It's not giving up it's caring for the people you protect by being blunt and logical. Liberals all think super awesome sgt cop on duty will teleport there in a second and shoot all the bad guys. but in reality they are no more trained then we are with firearms

in my law enforcement class i was told by the teacher that a lot of places are under staffed or something like that not too sure though on the stats though
#37 to #29 - anon (09/11/2013) [-]
he's not admitting he giving up though,he's stating the fact that police can't be everywhere at once,and that having your own gun would offer you protection when the incident is actually happening,which it does.

reason: 1244423456352424677242523# not to live in the united states, where government officials tell you to learn to use firearms instead of regulating them
#31 to #26 - slenderwolf (09/11/2013) [-]
I believe it is either Sweden or Switzerland whom has a law which mandates the keeping of a firearm in every household and the training of no less than one member of that household on proper handling of said firearm.
User avatar #59 to #31 - lordlolland ONLINE (09/11/2013) [-]
It is Switzerland, and you are not mandated unless actively serving in the military or militia, have to have a reason for keeping the gun if no longer serving, and you are not allowed to have ammo or use the gun outside shooting ranges.
User avatar #48 to #26 - xdeathspawnx (09/11/2013) [-]
>implying firearms aren't regulated in the US.
criminals are going to get guns no matter what, so you should be able to choose whether to learn to protect yourself or to have to wait for someone else to protect you
User avatar #33 to #26 - aahrg (09/11/2013) [-]
he is recommending getting a firearm LICENSE and a firearm. it's being regulated just fine.
#43 to #33 - anon (09/11/2013) [-]
He's not actually encouraging them to get a license,he's advising them to take a safety course. The NRA usually gives them out.

You don't need to take the class to own the gun,but it helps you use it efficiently.
User avatar #28 to #26 - karson (09/11/2013) [-]
because teaching people how to use them safely and properly is a horrible idea. durrr hurr.

Wish this attitude was held by UK politicians. If you fight back, you go to prison. You have to bend over and take it, otherwise you go to prison.

Since I was young I always wanted to own a revolver.   
   
That dream hasn't changed.

Here's my Rossi .357 mag revolver. I love this thing to no end.
User avatar #92 to #91 - infinitereaper ONLINE (09/12/2013) [-]
Woah, looks modern and pretty. I still haven't decided what kind I want yet.
User avatar #93 to #92 - elores (09/12/2013) [-]
Yeah I know, there's a lot to choose from. If you plan on carrying it for personal protection, just make sure it's one that you feel comfortable with.

Not funny, but a good point nonetheless.

So this is causing a ********* and I'd like to get in on this. As someone who lives in Canada I enjoy the fact that people aren't freely allowed to carry guns because let's ******* face it, human beings are absolute ******* retarded. Yes, a firearm safety course can teach you how to properly handle a gun, but that same course can also teach an extremely mentally unstable schizophrenic how to use the very same gun. People here manage to get guns anyway and commit crimes. Making something illegal does not fix a problem. The gun problem in the states is so way beyond ******* control I don't even have ideas on how to fix it. On one hand, there are states with open carry laws and there are perfectly law abiding citizens who really are trustworthy with guns. Yes, there are measures in place to make sure the wrong people don't get their hands on guns but ******* NEWSFLASH it's not working. ****** up people are doing ****** up things because they can. That's just fact. They're going to continue to happen. People are going to continue finding new and interesting ways to kill or get killed because the states have completely lost control of this situation. smartgunlaws.org/gun-deaths-and-injuries-statistics/ Accoriding to this site, guns are responsible for 30k deaths in the Us in 2010 alone. I'm not sure if this is a credible source but it proves my point. In regards to what this sheriff has said, I don't agree because it's easy for someone to shoot someone and make up a story about how they broke in or tried to rape them or whatever. There's just to many what-ifs. Police in the UK don't even carry guns because THEY DON'T HAVE There's virtually no gun problem there because they're so ******* hard to get. Only high ranking officers (maybe swat teams or w/e im not an expert) carry guns because only the most prominent rich criminals have access to that **** . Anyone who says gun control is not a problem is seriously completely ******* delusional. Rant over tl/dr i kno
#82 to #73 - anon (09/12/2013) [-]
you obviously dont know anything about canadian gun laws,were basically allowed to get almost everything the US has,I have an AR-15 myself.

It's a people problem,not a gun problem,you're the delusional one if you think that the gun is whats causing people to go crazy. Our society is obviously crumbling yet people like you whine about the tools instead of realizing that our educational system,mental health care system,and cultural problem are causing this.

And people like you who waste time attacking inanimate objects,that have been around unregulated for several decades,are drawing attention away from the real problem.
User avatar #83 to #82 - xotheseusxo (09/12/2013) [-]
I never said having a gun makes people go crazy. I said people are the crazy in the first place and can't be trusted. As for you having an AR-15 yourself, I don't believe you, plain and simple. I think you're just trying to prove your point and be correct. However, that's an assumption and I could be wrong, and yes it's possible to acquire hunting rifles and equipment of that sort, but how often do you see someone walking around with a pistol on their hip? Because we have gun control laws, and yes, a smaller population so a smaller chance of this **** happening, and a better education system and healthcare and were all around a better country in general... (im ranting pro canada now yay) I forgot where I was going with that but regardless, you are correct in saying that the educational system, mental health care system and cultural problem are all problems that are not addressed. That does not make guns okay. People are retarded, and always will be.
#84 to #83 - anon (09/12/2013) [-]
So your solution is to not trust anybody with them because a minority are getting crazier? Genius. Let me ask you something,if i gave you my Ar-15 (and yes you ignorant ******** they are legal and i do have them,they can only have a few shots but the actual rifle is legal),would you start killing people? No? Do you think your neighbors will?

You're really paranoid if you think you're surrounded by enough people willing to go bonkers.

And i love my country too,but sadly guns are one of the areas we're FAR behind in compared to the US,largely due to ignorance from people like you.
User avatar #85 to #84 - xotheseusxo (09/12/2013) [-]
I don't even know what point you're trying to argue. I jsut don't even care. You're not debating, you're arguing and getting this conversation nowhere. And if we lived in that idealistic society where that small minority of crazy is you know, not there, then why would we need guns in the first place? You just want something to shoot to have fun with it. Grow up
#86 to #85 - anon (09/12/2013) [-]
>creates walls of text
>gets told
>"i dont even care"

Thought as much.You cant debate because you don't have any solid reasoning besides "i really feel like guns are the problem".

And i never said that small minority of crazy wasn't there,I said its in the MINORITY and the majority of your countrymen aren't crazy. And what? You're saying we should ban guns just because responsible people out number crazy people?

That's a really,REALLY ****** reason to get rid of something. You're probably a sheltered city dweller afraid of his own shadow. **** off with your logical fallacies and don't breed,we don't need more of you ignorant people here.
User avatar #90 to #86 - xotheseusxo (09/12/2013) [-]
AND I NEVER SAID GUNS ARE THE PROBLEM ARE YOU EVEN READING WHATIM POSTING? Guns are A problem not THE problem. People are the problem no one is ******* arguing that
User avatar #88 to #86 - xotheseusxo (09/12/2013) [-]
I can't even you dont even understand what im saying. Hypothetically, we as reasonable, strive for a nation where that small number of crazy IS NOT THERE. You ocmepletely misunderstood what I said. Don't call me ignorant, you don't know me, I am the furthest thing from.

If 911 isn't helping fast enough, you should learn how to use a gun? How about fixing the issues with 911 like other 1st world nations, instead of making excuses to have guns.

Yes because the only thing better than being defenseless and incapable of handling life threatening situations is to wait patiently for someone who is well armed and fully capable to show up while you kindly ask the threat to put his weapon down, crack open a beer and chill for a while until the police get there and can restrain him.

Why is it perfectly acceptable call upon any law enforcement personnel specifically trained, licensed and armed with a multitude of weapons lethal or not specifically designed to handle any situation...and not acceptable to rely on yourself, neighbor or family member in very close proximity of the situation. Police are nothing more than trained and certified civilians. Any armed civilian with common sense, training and all legal certifications/documents should NOT be a problem if you allow and accept law enforcement to bear the same documents, training and weaponry.

yeah, because guns are totally unavailable and no one is ever attacked in other countries. The difference is that in america we are given the choice to protect ourselves, instead of having to wait and hope that others will save us.

User avatar #52 to #14 - imakejewburgers (09/11/2013) [-]
Yes, because in every other country the police are able to magically tell when you're in trouble and just teleport to your position whether or not you ave anyway to inform them of where you are ad that you are in trouble.
#54 to #14 - xonorithedruid (09/11/2013) [-]
No one but you can decide what to do with your life. So you can either fight back or not and let the government come and clean up your dead body later.
#58 to #14 - anon (09/11/2013) [-]
we will never get rid of evil. It has been with us since the dawn of mankind. You cannot just make laws and make it go away, unless you're an 1984 thought police officer who would imply brainwashing all of us to be "kept in line". Do you want your people to be weak? No backbone? Why wait helplessly and get murdered, robbed, raped etc while the cops take about 20 mins to get there when you can have your fate in your own hands. Why not have a gun instead of waiting for a guy with the gun to come, and besides, personal fire arm training is better for civilians than it is for standard police (true fact). it can be proven like what happened last year in NY when a bunch of cops sprayed and shot themselves and injured civilians in the street. Im just saying, i rather have my own gun and solve my own problems, you can go ahead and die while waiting
User avatar #19 to #14 - GIJorge (09/11/2013) [-]
And why don't you stop acting like a little bitch and learn to ******* defend your home?
Bad guy with a gun comes into your house and shoots your dog and rapes your wife and what do you do? Tell him that when help arrives he's, like, totally screwed? **** no, you either shoot his ass in the head or die trying, while the ones you love try to hide. It's called being a man. You should try it some time, you little grinning **** .
#45 to #19 - Bobtheblob (09/11/2013) [-]
Or worse; shoots your wife and rapes your doge!
#16 to #14 - anon (09/11/2013) [-]
I'm pretty sure the ******* sheriff knows more about the problems of his county and the best way to handle it than you.

And there isn't one first world country that is even comparable to the United states when it comes to guns,don't be retarded.
#15 to #14 - darkfive (09/11/2013) [-]
it doesnt work like that, If a Deputy is even 2 miles away when you make the call it can still take 2-3 min. for him to get there. in 2min The bad guy can pull the triger and kill you nad your family, police will NEVER be as fast as the fall of a hammer, atleast not without breaking the laws of Physics

Why is calling 911 and waiting less of a good option than previously? It seems like that option would be getting consistently better, relatively speaking.
User avatar #44 to #5 - roninneko (09/11/2013) [-]
Well, first of all, criminals don't wait until after you've called the cops to commit a crime. Usually, if you're calling the cops, some serious **** is going down right that SECOND. And last time I checked, average police response time was not 10 seconds. It's 23 minutes.
#13 to #5 - autoxx (09/11/2013) [-]
The police mandate is not to protect and serve anymore, it is only to enforce law.

Milwaukee has a higher murder rate then New York City because of the capita, and the police force is small because it isn't funded very well. Their are signs posted on every street that say to lock up your car or it WILL be stolen, and it's true. I once went into a store in milwaukee to get some lunch on a business trip, when I came back out 5 minutes later all 4 wheels, a door, and everything inside the car including my work laptop, work cell phone, and my night bag that i brought for the hotel were gone.. We found the door 3 blocks away leaned up against an alley wall...
User avatar #36 to #10 - varrlegrimscythe (09/11/2013) [-]
Worse part is we're so under funded that we had to take down the signs.

Switzerland has one of the lowest crime rates in the entire world.
It also has 50% gun ownership and actually requires every household has a gun and at least one person capable and trained in its use.
This sheriff has the right ******* idea, I think that the idea of denying your family the protection and safety a gun gives you is just ridiculous, if you live in america then chances are any potential criminal is carrying and to not try and put yourself on their level of capability just opens you up to being a defenceless victim. The police can only capture a criminal and clean up, they arent there as crimes occur.
User avatar #55 to #42 - Nullifier (09/11/2013) [-]
The idea of that isn't "Random gun ownership is awesome!"

Since everyone in the country is completely aware that each household has an armed gunman living there...they're less likely to rob them.

Here, not everyone even wants a gun.
User avatar #56 to #42 - lordlolland ONLINE (09/11/2013) [-]
Here are a few facts about gun ownership in Switzerland:
Switzerland requires nearly every able-bodied young male adult to serve in the citizen militia, where they are issued a military rifle.
If you want to keep your weapon after your years of service, it is refitted to scale back its firepower and you need to provide a reason for keeping it.
The guns are supposed to be for military use only, not for personal defense.
The ammunition for the weaponry is kept in a government arsenal.
Civilians can only purchase ammunition for their weapons at shooting range, and the ammunition must be spend there. (Hunting rifles and shotguns excepted, but they are as tightly regulated in Switzerland as in anti-gun countries)

Saying gun ownership lowers crime in a country when you can't have bullets for your gun or use it outside shooting ranges is as stupid as saying a McDonalds bag makes you fat when there is no food in it.

Too bad we can't get guns in Ireland, crime is getting bad here and it takes 3-6 minutes to get the Garda to your house. That's a lifetime when someone has a gun pointed at your head or a knife near you.
