    Because some things are just too stupid. As has already been noted, owning a gun does not mean you are certain to be able to access it when needed. Especially with the *******s wanting it to be kept locked in a safe, unloaded, and with a trigger lock on it.

    But heck, you libs can try your luck unarmed. I am sure it will succeed. :roll:

    In May 2012, North East Texas Tactical was attacked by the anti-gunners and anti-patriots. The Kaufman County DA has made it a personal goal to keep me from opening. As a 12 year veteran of both wars and a law abiding citizen I have followed every letter of every law in the development of this range. I have shown that I am willing to, and have gone above and beyond what a normal range owner would do.

    When I returned home from Afghanistan in April of 2012 the DA welcomed me home with a restraining order preventing the operation of the range. Now mind you this is a PRIVATE range open 2 days a week where I shoot and where several of my friends have shot. Thousands of rounds have been sent down range without incident. Not one law has been broken, not one ordinance violated, yet there is very strong push back from the DA on account of one neighbor who does not even live near the firing line. There is no huge public outcry for shutting down this range, just one guy. The Kaufman County DA works for the people of Kaufman County, not himself or his friends. Now I have several Aces up my sleeve that I hope I never have to use. If the public appointed officials continue to side with their friends over the law I will hold them accountable. The people of Kaufman County will hold them accountable.

    The case has made its way up to the appellate courts in Dallas and the dismissed it without reaching the merits. That means we have to go to trial in September, then if we need to back to the appeals court. Thanks to all of you who donated to the cause, I was able to retain the best possible attorney for this case. He wrote S.B. 766 and knows it upside down and backwards. We are and have always been operating well within the law and our constitutional rights. We are praying for a swift resolution to all of this madness. Keep NETT in your thoughts and prayers and we will keep plugging along.

    I dont recall anyone saying owning a gun was a magic shield of any kind that protects you from all harm which is the the OP is proposing. Considering that is the basis of the thread i can see why most dont both with it.

    Update: the wife was found at the front door; just inside---- and the husband was found in the back inside the house, pj's on. They are thinking the wife answered the door. Who knows how they got her to answer the door. Could have had a child or grandchild's name and said they needed help. It was a stormy night. Who knows. Either way....they got in. Sadly.

    What the anti-gun nuts are proposing is the Carthagian Syndrome. You know Rome is really not that bad, In our case it's the U.S. government. So why don't we disarm? We all know what happened to Carthage. Maybe Liberals never read about the Punic Wars.
    Carrying a gun does not ensure that you will not be killed, nor will you kill your attacker. But it does cut the odds slightly in your favor, unless you are bush-wacked. Apparently this family was bush-wacked.

    g

    Yes, most likely.....as stated early on in this thread. The investigators are being closed-mouth so far.....as they can't be giving any clues out to the bad guys.

    Slain Texas Lawman Had Pledged to Hunt Down ‘Scum’
    March 31, 2013 — After the daylight assassination of his deputy two months ago, Mike McLelland, the district attorney in largely rural Kaufman County, responded with a flash of angry bravado, denigrating the perpetrators as “scum” and vowing to hunt them down.

    sounds like he would have died without the gun as well considering this persons intent was to kill them anyways. this thread has no point what so ever other than being typically lame.

    Crazy is thinking that the cops will come and save you when you need them.

    Having a gun didn't save this guy because he was the target of a professional killer.

    But in most cases we are talking about a druggie looking for some extra money to feed his habit and in that case the armed citizen does have a chance to survive.

    Oh yeah, if the DA didn't have a gun he would not have been killed. Your right. Its all an issue with guns. Its not an issue with crazy people, and the possibility of drug side effects or psychological problems.

    Republican governor Perry (who had been inspired by God to run for the presidency) is doing a marvelous job of protecting people in Texas against certain malcontents.

    Perhaps Perry should have a brain storming pow-wow with Rahm Emanuel..

    Crazy for wanting to own a gun, a civil right, what our country was founded on, how our country essentially was able to form? WOW, talk about crazy.

    He should have peed or vomited on himself instead.

    White progressives are always looking for someone to surrender to- American street criminals, home invaders, angry failed blacks, anti-Western Muslims, illegal aliens, etc. It makes no difference as long as no one resists them. It's a queer type of self-loathing. They hate the traditional West and everyone in it. Any American murdered by a Muslim or black criminal is a victory for social justice. Resisting is anti-justice.

    How else can one explain the glee over an armed person being murdered and his death being used as a political talking point? How can one explain the elevation of Bill Ayers from Left-wing terror bomber and traitor to his nation to a university professor and a player in Chicago progressive politics?

    Look at progressive central- the UK, they actually jailed a man AND HIS WIFE, when the homeowner shot two out of four burglars in his house.

    You really think they are there for food. That's hella funny. No one comes home and finds all there groceries gone. I take that back that may have happened before but that is really rare. They could just steal from a grocery store. More to choose from at the store and you can get what you want. Also are you saying that the poor have a right to steal from others. If that's the case give me your address and please leave your car keys on the counter. And leave the door unlocked so I won't have to damage your door.

    The poor don't have a right to steal from others anymore than a gun owner has a right to shoot them for stealing.

    Self Defense is not really a good argument for gun ownership, since it is very rare to use a gun in self defense. The gun owner in the OP had very little chance of defending himself from a well organized Aryan militia.

    OK then I can come to your house while your home and take your stuff? You can call the police after I'm gone. I should probably get a big U-Haul truck. Or do you have a truck? I could just use it.
    And yes self defense is a good argument. Just because it did not work this time doesn't mean it doesn't work. I'm sure at some point in your life your car did not start, did you swear off car forever after that?
    P.S. did those guys take his food.

    A DA, 23 yrs old, who had already served? That's a remarkably ambitious som(*)(*)(*)(*)(*) right there. Trouble wrapping my head around that.

    So the inability to thwart an organized hit is somehow an argument that guns are useless?

    How were they killed? I would like some detail on that... I mean... if you get sniped... not really much you can do. An explosive or some such? Guns are not much good against bombs. Even if someone slid in and slit their throats or shot them in their sleep... I really do not understand how you expect this argument to hold water.

    What would you do btw? If someone forced entry to your home? For the hypothetical, you don't know if they are armed.

    I noticed recently that not every car stops at red lights, or even stop signs, if you can believe it.

    Why do we even bother to have these things if they are not 100%?
