You are correct Cliffisher, I do not know you. But based on your "trolling" comment, it was apparent that you were displeased with the posting.
Now that you told us that you are a hunter and a shooter, that brings up an even more troubling question. It is great that you own guns and have enjoyed shooting them. But there are many people in this country that have not had the opportunity to do so. Some of them are apprehensive about it because of all the negative stories they see in the news. This is the anti-gun news media that is willfully helping the anti-gun agenda. Reading some of the posts on this board might actually be one way some people will see firearms or hunting in a positive light, especially if they are from places like New York or Illinois.
Why suppress the story? Do you not want other people to learn and become interested in guns like you? What problem do you have with that? Why not spread the "good stories" as best as we can? Instead of criticizing me, why not help me? If we put all the stories on "one" thread, they will become buried and lost. I am not posting hundreds of stories, just one or two a week in the politics section. If you do not like the stories, can you just not read them?
If you understand the threat against us gun owners right now, you will see that we need all the advantage that we can get.

Just bought a Sig .40 tonight...
It was an impulse buy...happened to be in Academy Sports and they had them on sale. It is like buying a pack of gum to me.

I can just see someone trolling the online blogs looking for stories to post. Just post them all in one thread.
I posted this one a few days ago in one of the other threads. By the way I didn’t have to troll the blogs. It was in the local paper.

Sounds good if there are 1-2 perps but with a bunch your best move is to run. Next best is to shoot a few of them.

Sounds like an interesting game. If one of those thugs tries to knock me out, I'll dodge his blow and give him one of my own to the face but with a difference: when he hits the ground that will be the last thing he ever hits; he will be dead. Not a knock-out punch but a death punch instead. Many Marines know how to do it, most thugs don't.

"You want to bury the good news instead of showing that there are actually beneficial uses for firearms. Your negative impression of firearms use is clearly fogged by how they are represented in the mainstream media." And you know what I think? How? You don't know me. You have never been hunting with me. You were not around when I learned how to use the M14, M60 and the .50 cal. (I did hate the 1911 but I did barely qualify with it)

Jam, it doesn't bother me one tiny bit. I can just see someone trolling the online blogs looking for stories to post. Just post them all in one thread.

Cliffisher, does it bother you to see stories where guns are used responsibly for self defense? Does it bother you that the mainstream media has not been honest and forthcoming with you all this time about guns? Does it bother you because it is people are getting the correct information about firearms use? Does it bother you that people are learning that they have a choice to protect themselves instead of being victimized by violent criminals?

wow, some socialist libs should volunteer to walk down the streets where knockout gangs hang and be treated first hand to their violent behavior?
perhaps they could then ask them if their mom didn't bake cookies for them as a kid, or what else made them violent . . .
interesting comment from a black woman who lives in the area:
The pace of the Knockout Game picked up in other places with other victims. That is when Tiffany Thompson made her wish at a news site reporting the results of the latest St. Louis victim: as a black woman i will say this, i wish they would run into the right person who is armed to defend themselves with a firearm…i bet we will see a drastic decrease in violence in our city. it is embarrassing and shameful – the image these losers portray of blacks in st louis. i do not and never will reside anywhere besides the suburbs of this city, because no one is safe among these savages. do not get angry when people call them thugs, because that is exactly what they are and no excuses can be made for this barbaric behavior! it’s disgusting!!!
I remember days back in the 60's when gangs like this would roam in neighborhoods and firebomb and shoot up places. I was armed then and glad I no longer live in an area like that.
If flashmob / knockout gamers think it's their right to act like this, and come onto private property / and attack citizens in public places - and if one of their targets happens to be armed, I say, by all means, defend yourselves and shoot them. Just make sure you have hi cap mags, and 2 in center mass and 1 in the head. If I were confronted today by the likes of a knockout gang/mob, and I had no escape alternative, I would shoot to kill as many as were attacking me.
If you come with intent to harm someone to the point of knocking them out where they are unconcious or dead, they suffer the result of being killed themselves.hooah.

Looks like it is your intent to start a new thread every time someone plugs a perp. Next thing we will see is a new thread every time someone is plugged with their own or spouses gun.
