Reach down between your legs. Do you feel anything there? Any balls? You’ve insinuated that you would use your gun to “eliminate” a threat. You’ve said

And yet you wouldn’t do anything about the guy stealing your son’s wagon. Hmmmmm. Would you even have the gun in your hand when you walked out of your house, or would you be a sitting duck, for the criminal to gun down?

Either have the balls to back up your words, or stop talking tough.

All these threads have some pretty tough talk about having guns to protect yourselves, your family and your stuff - about killing criminals. But when push comes to shove, and I ask you (the collective you) to put your balls on the line and declare exactly what would make you shoot someone, the excuses and hedging comes out. “in the house is different than outside the house”, “I didn’t feel like my life was threatened so I didn’t draw my gun”, “I’m not going to answer your question, I’ll just keep throwing up straw men to evade the point”.

Tough talk, for a bunch of Maries.
