Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire What is a GOOD counter statement?

I'm more than a little disappointed it took four posts to get to this answer.

Why are you wasting your time (and ours) trying to have a battle of wits with an [unarmed and brainless] person!!??

The person you described strikes me as incredibly DANGEROUS to your job security and level of productivity!

Twas me, whenever I saw that guy I'd go the other way.

And if he was harrassing me because of my views, I'd tell him we'd have to agree to disagree and to stop [bugging] me!

PLUS anyone else who gets involved with your argument ("discussion") is NOT going to be on the sensible or conservative side, esp the HR department.

Methinks it could be disasterous if the HR department was aware you two are bantering "politics" at work. (I speak from experience too)

But a counter comment? Tell him "personal respomsibility" is a big deal to you! Like putting in a full day's work (maybe he'd take the hint and concentrate on his work area?)

Without humiliating or embarressing him, - however you say or convey those points, maybe you could also add "that those killer-criminal-shooters sure didn't believe in their personal responsibility, did they!?"

Ask him how he could possibly know how many rounds a person needs in any firearm whatsoever. Then tell him that if he would really like to know.....take a stroll through the nastiest section of a really bad place and if he's able to make it back.....ask how it worked out for him. Then, point out to him that those real scary dudes in that nasty section of town, have 2 legs and can go where ever they want to do their bad deeds. They aren't stuck in one place. This is just a start.

It's not a matter of need but here goes.

When the verdict came in on the Rodney King officers there were mobs of killers/looters & city burners running wild through the streets and stores.

Ask him what he wants in his hands when he looks up and sees a mob of armed killers running toward him with bricks, bats and gasoline.

-Then find a very old Black couple and ask them what they wanted in their hands when the original white sheeted terrorists came for a visit.

-Any gang member will tell you one of the initiation rites is to commit a truly outstanding felony. Just because they have chosen to commit these felonies on themselves is no reason to think they will never get around to the unarmed. What does this guy want in his hands when the gang bangers come for his daughter & wife.

If he brushes you off with "that was in the past" or some such nonsense just leave him standing there. He has no interest in reason. He's just food for the predatory. You can't reason with food.

I got in the same "discussion" with my employer. when he said I don't need a 30 round magazine I told him he didn't need a 72' Hatteras twin diesel engined sport fisher either then told him to GFY.

The only thing I can come up with involves a long cuffed welding glove filled with lead shot and a lot of screaming and crying.

Sorry, I'm so old fashioned.

it is my birth right as an American, then tell him GFY!

Invite him to familiarize himself with the 2nd amendment, its intent and history. That wil explain why we need high capacity magazines. If he still doesnt get it forget about him, hes a lemming.

Gotta keep all this ammo somewhere. It might as well be loaded in clips.

Why do we need cars that do 100 mph? Nobody "needs" to go more than 50mph to get where they need to go.

Tell him to head on down to the Mexican border and tell those folks what they need.

Nice.

I still can't figure out how somebody that is pro-gun doesn't know how to state their reasons for being pro-gun.

Can somebody tell me why I don't like abortion?

Tanqueray is wonderful. Can somebody tell me why I like Tanqueray?

There are two arguments.

The first is to point out what happened in LA and other cities a few years ago when hordes of people started burning things down and generally raising hell. You would need assault rifles, large cap mags and lots of ammunition to survive.

The second is to point out the real purpose of the 2nd amendment is to enable the citizens to fight tyranny. The people who wrote the constitution and the 2nd had just fought against tyranny and gun grabbers and wanted to ensure that the citizens could fight against tyranny if it was required. Furthermore, when you consider Obama's numerous violations of the constitution and the support progressives fascists provide him it's clear that we are likely to need to need our guns to fight against tyranny again soon.

Just figured out what GFY means.. I must be as dull as my wife says I am. GFY sounds like an excellent answer.

Because you like the taste of pine needles?

GFY.


Travis

Maybe. I don't know. Somebody tell me. GFY.

Tell him his 1st amendment is limited to one word.

Give it a try for a few days and get back to us. Jobless, divorced and in intensive care should be a good story.

Do you need a car that goes 100mph?
Do you need a cell phone with internet?
