Guns: A Necessity in Today's Society?

[_Cathy_]

Have we reached a point where owning a gun is a necessity? We now live in a crime riddled society where criminals have no regard at all for human life. Victims are unnecessarily harmed - di naman kailangan patayin, pinapatay.

In the article below, the supposed victim was able to defend himself only because he had a gun. He was able to kill his aggressors in some kind of street justice...

MANILA, Philippines - Patay ang isa sa holdaper na riding-in-tandem makara*ang barilin ng isa sa kanilang biktima sa Caloocan City, ka*makalawa ng gabi. Dead-on-arrival sa East Avenue Medical Center sanhi ng tama ng bala sa katawan si Romnick Borja, 21, ng Sampalok St., Camarin ng naturang lungsod. Mabilis namang nakatakas ang kasama nito sa panghoholdap.

Sumuko naman sa mga pulis si Feliciano Hormelija Jr., 30, ng Sampaguita St., Novaliches, Quezon City.

Sa ulat ng Caloocan City Police, naganap ang insidente dakong alas-9:15 ng gabi sa Camarin, Caloocan City. Nabatid na minamaneho ni Hormelija ang kanyang kotse nang tabihan ito ng motorsiklo lulan ang mga suspect.

Bumaba sa motorsiklo sina Borja at ang kasama nito at nilapitan si Hormelija sabay tutok ng baril at nagdeklara ng holdap kung saan agad pang kinalabit ang dalang kalibre .38 baril. Masuwerteng hindi pumutok ang baril na dito sinamantala ni Hormelija na binunot ang kanyang kalibre .45 at pinutukan ang mga humoldap sa kanya kung saan tinamaan nga si Borja hanggang sa ito ay bumulagta.

Nang makita ng kasama ng nasawi ang nangyari ay mabilis na tumakas dala ang motorsiklo na hindi na nakuha ang plaka habang naghintay si Hormelija ng mga pulis saka ito sumuko.

Yup, there are instances that we do. That's why i'm thinking of geting ptcfor again. Even my wife is planning to buy a pistol.

the wife objected to my owning a defensive weapon. her reason was that i might kill somebody. i have been trained in weapons effectivity, care, use, muzzle discipline, necessity of firepower, weapons retention and the eight preconditions to the use of deadly force.
my response:
i'd rather be alive in jail after defending myself than six feet under ground for allowing some irresponsible person using deadly force on me

If I can have it my way, I will be carrying an AK47 24 hrs a day. That and a sword

I have a new found fascination for guns. For me guns are not just modern marvels but a thing of beauty. Their not just well engineered but well crafted. I am particularly fascinated with the AK47 maybe because it's the kind of gun that matches my rage, it's the kind of gun that tells people don't f1ck with me But seriously, the AK47 has numerous references in pop culture - it has a reputation for being so bad ass. It's those darn Vietnam war films, most in particular Stanley Kubrick's Full Metal Jacket. The Kalashnikov is so sinister that it is so cool

When I hear about incidents like this, I just wish I had an AK47, no conscience and a licence to kill :hammer: I am looking forward to seeing this beauty for real.

For our tsikot gun enthusiasts, does anyone have an idea how expensive this gun is? Is it as rare in the Philippines as I think it is?

just make sure you know how to employ the weapon, know how to retain the weapon in any case to make sure that very same capable weapon is used on you,
