Pithy comebacks to Anti Statements

Only the (police, government, military, etc) have enough training to handle guns.

That'll come as some surprise to the millions of hunters, marksmen and target shooters who shoot the majority of the 1 billion rounds of ammo produced every year.

or - Is that why we hear of the cops firing a dozen or more shots and only hitting their subject once?

or - If recent shootings, where multiple cops each fire half a dozen shots into a car and only make two hits, are the examples, then their training really stinks.
 
I have a few...

"why do you carry a gun"

"because I would feel bad if I had to use you for body armor"
or
"my gun has nothing to do with the pistol I have" refer to "Full Metal Jacket"
or
Scream "LOOKOUT........" with a serious loud commanding tone, wait for them to duck or move or whatever then say "this is a test...if that were an armed assailant...you would've either died wishing you had a weapon to protect yourself, or been saved by me and my pistol."

Now those are some great comebacks from all you folks.

Very entertaining indeed. :) I plan to use a bunch of them.

Only a paranoid would feel the need to carry a gun.
It's not paranoia, it's preparedness.
or - I don't feel, I think and that's why it's called being prepared.
or - I prefer to call it "precaution"

People shouldn't carry guns. They'll shoot each other over a parking place or a fender-bender.
Oooh, did someone have a bad day at the mall?
or - Just because you would be that stupid, doesn't mean I will.

I'm against people carrying concealed weapons.
Me too, but every time someone carries openly, people like you wet their pants and call the cops.

Your right to carry a gun doesn't outweigh my right to feel safe.
Your right to feel safe does NOT outweigh my right to actually BE safe.
or - Thank you, Mr. my-rights-are-more-important-than-your-rights Facist.
or - Your right to express idiotic ideas does not outweigh my right to ignore you.

The second amendment is a collective right, not an individual one.
Collective rights are what you have in a hippie commune, not the constitution.
 
Anyone remember "All in the Family"?

"Daddy, do you know how many people were killed by handguns last year?"

"Honey, would you prefer they were pushed out of windows?"

God Bless Archie Bunker.

I had this one last fall with a co-worker - "Why do you need a gun?"

"Because pheasants won't get into my skillet no matter how nice I ask."
 
You can’t argue with stupidity, and logic doesn’t work ether.

"Only the military and police should have guns."
"That worked so well in Europe back in the 30's didn't it?"

I acutely used that one once, but the sad thing is that the lady didn’t know what I was talking about.
Sad state of affairs when people born in the last 30 years can only say
"I don’t know what all the hub bub world war 2 was about,
I mean why do they make all those movies about it, it was so long ago.”
She actually said that.
 
How about;
"Guys who carry guns are compensating"
Answer; "The only thing I compensate for is the stupidity of some of the people around me".
 
That speed limit analogy was good. I have a similar one.

"If only one child is saved then banning guns is worth it."

"Truth is, many many more children die every year in their own yard in private swimming pools. Given that fact, and following your logic, swimming pools should be banned and children only be permitted to swim in public pools with trained lifeguards. Private citizens cannot be trusted with such a dangerous item as a pool and only trained professionals such as lifeguards and the Coast Guard should be trusted with their safe use. Really, is it worth risking the lives of CHILDREN to have a private pool?"

Works with the "only cops and military should have guns" too.

"You must be compensating for something."

"Nah. It's so when you ask me to give you 12 inches and make it hurt, I can do you twice and then thump you on the head with my gun." :eek:

To be honest, on the rare occasion anyone's rude about my hobby, I nod and quietly say, "You might be right. I've never thought about it that way." It usually gives them vapor lock.
