What's More Important: Freedom or Safety?

..... " survival of the fittest, and by "Fittest" I mean who ever has the most guns, the most firepower in order to fend off those who might do you harm "

Humor me ..... in your thinking, did you by any chance consider who or what you just described ?

Are you stupid ????
What kind of an ignorant question is that ?????

..... okay, I'll humor you ... I'm Stupid

Now answer my question and dazzle me with your brilliance .... as asked " who has the most guns + the most firepower "

.......... go ahead, amaze me

Only on SodaHead do I meet such ignorant people.

.... I'm ignorant for asking you something ... uummm yeah, okay

Let's see...how many times have you said that now. It seems that you say it every time you can't come up with an intelligent answer to a legitimate question.

Why don't you answer his question?

.... because he knows what he just described and now is reluctant to admit it.

Children seem to have a knack for that sort of behaviour ... perhaps he'll outgrow it.

Next step is Block ... predictable to a ' T ' < s >

Maybe you should live in China, or Iraq, or Iran....

Maybe you should grow a brain, because you sound like a dumbass right now!

Not true!!

.... quite a tirade over a simple question.

Rather crude of you to get so nasty to one of our female participants ... not nice at all.

Would you like to take a vote on how many people here think you're the dumbass?

That's his second choice but first he's hoping they can change America to be like China,Iraq or Iran

.... sad part of it all Red .... you and I support that thinking with our Tax Dollars and they take that indoctrination into the Voting Booth every election.

Tytler said it best many years ago .... over 200 yrs ago !


" A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves largesse from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates promising the most benefits from the public treasury, with the result that a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy, always followed by a dictatorship." -- Professor Alexander Tytler


......... that's the mindset voting against us my friend

.... I don't think that would work out Leona .... too accustomed to his Freedoms here and being able to gripe about things he doesn't care for or about, which would at minimum garner a prison term in the Countries you mentioned, most likely beget a death sentence.

Of course, you're right! I hadn't thought of that.

.... great day to you my friend < s >

And NO ONE was ever killed before a gun was invented; right?

.... I'm forgettin' .... did Cain shoot Abel or use a nuke or tie his sandal string around the chair leg < s >

I use that example too.... when Cain killed Abel; did God ban the rock or Cain, I forget.

.... we think alike .... that makes us ' conspirators ' ... yikes', we'll be put on a list or banned or something < s >

He painted his hair red, claimed to be the personification of a comic book character (THE JOKER). He armed and dressed himself as if in, and then in his mind justified his was in a moral fight death with what? A bunch of popcorn eating couch potatoes?

If you happen to think he is NOT a mental case, I demand authorities lock you up for evaluation as well. Maybe you could explain how someone who plans down to miniscule detail to KILL people, in mass, and leaves deadly booby traps behind is just an regular old Joe? Come one, I'll wait cause this is going to be really good!!!!!

You claim "Freedom without safety is chaos", you are just plain being silly and stupid.

What new gun laws would you like to see passed.I think the only gun law we don't have now is the total ban of guns.You can close every gun shop in the country and I can have a new gun by dark.

With freedom, comes safety, but not the other way around.

Freedom is safety. All that was needed was one good crack shot from a conceal and carry fan and the joker would have been out of commision.

All we needed was one 71-year old retired dude with a concealed carry permit and a set of gonads. Just like the internet cafe in Florida. Horray!!!!!

safety is everyone's priority and if it comes by the way of freedom its good and well,but if not you might try to remain safe cause with your life remaining and your body being fine you can enjoy as much as you want in your future may be a lot of freedom too!

If we're so concerned with safety, maybe we should ban MVAs and gravity.

I've said for years we need to ban swimming pools and bathtubs before we ban guns.

No one needs to swim, you can cool off in the sprinkler; and no one needs a bath, showers work just as good. Think of how many lives we could save.

When people are not free they tend to revolt and safety flies out the window. How much history do we need to keep proving this point.

with Freedom comes safety, it's regulation, fear mongering, and disinformation about things like guns that detract from it. This is a very convenient tragedy on the eve of a global gun ban treaty.

As Benjamin Franklin once said, "Those who would give up liberties and freedoms for securities deserve neither." - That's not exactly how he stated it, but it's close enough.

This country was based on freedom. However, I don't agree with having only two options for an answer. It's not like you can only have one. In fact, owning a gun will give you both. JK, kinda.

Freedom is what we are up against today. if the 2nd amendment gets trashed because of the UN Gun Treaty that Obama and Clinton are going to sign on the 27th.It's a mark against the constitution that they swore to uphold. So far Obama hasn't held his part of the bargain by his executive orders he is trashing the Constitution and trashing the American people. he does not care what happens to us and it's pretty evident that he will get his way for this. But Remember the NRA has 4.3 Million members that over see 100,000,000 gun owners......Now do you really believe any of them will let the UN come on their property and take their weapons.I'm a life member and they will only get my guns if i'm i n a body bag ! Also so you know Harry Reid is trying to kill the 1st amendment..FREEDOM OF SPEECH! Who the hell do they think they are. I will fight to the death for what i believe in!!

Give me the freedom to choose how to protect myself.

Freedom always

"They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety."
