When a mugger holds a gun to your head, are you a pussy for handing over your wallet ? Are you a "chest thumper" for saying you would defend yourself if you could ?
If you hear about someone who tries, and hes killed for not cooperating with the criminal, are you going to get on the Internet and post about how "he should have known better", and "got what he deserved for resisting" ?
In case you don't get it, NYS is the criminal and gun owners are the victims here.
Argument is a non-starter.
If someone holds a gun to your head and wants your wallet. Give it up. Premise being you have some chance at "living to fight another day."
If you think you'll be shot anyway...fight. Better to die on your feet than live on your knees.
Go looking for trouble because you "think" you're another version of John McClain, you're stupid. Simple as that.
Intelligence ALWAYS triumphs over emotion and poor judgement. Most people who "chest thump" don't have the balls to post under their real name let alone openly flaunt illegal behavior because their stupid enough to believe the Courts in NYS will give them remedy.
All they end up with is "dropped soap syndrome" for the duration of their "stay of resistance" behind bars being punked daily.
Patience young Jedi, fight smart, not hard.
