Sweet

# 2 Rick said, on October 22nd, 2009 at 7:48 am

Sure. Brilliant.

I think we’ve become that cage full of too many rats.

# 3 Postman said, on October 22nd, 2009 at 7:49 am

That’s ok, I make a point of keying ” bush voter” into cars so that the rioters know who to pull out of the cars and murder

# 4 Benjamin said, on October 22nd, 2009 at 7:50 am

Makes sense. Why rob that guy when his neighbor is unarmed?

# 5 The Watcher said, on October 22nd, 2009 at 7:53 am

My neighbors aren’t stupid enough for me to need that sign….

Are you?

# 6 RRD said, on October 22nd, 2009 at 7:55 am

The ultimate in gross abuse of the second amendment. This guy should be held responsible for anything that happens to his neighbor.

There are tens of millions of American’s that do not have guns in the house. I do, but respect does that choose not to.

Mine are locked up though (as are tens of millions of other gun owners) because I have kids in the house and would not be that handy to get too. Any body breaking in would get their head smashed in with a baseball bat kept by the bed.

This method has been shown to be as effective as a bozo shooting up his house.

# 7 Benjamin said, on October 22nd, 2009 at 7:55 am

#3 Postman, Obama didn’t run against Bush. He ran against McCain. The election was just less than a year ago. Can’t you even remember?

# 8 Named said, on October 22nd, 2009 at 7:55 am

Now all the other neighbour has to do is post the times that the gun owner is away and that the place is free for pickings. See? That’s how a community works in America: tear each other down. Its the Christian thing to do.

# 9 Postman said, on October 22nd, 2009 at 7:57 am

yeah, that way the burgulars know you have a valuable gun collection to steal while you are at work

# 10 Benjamin said, on October 22nd, 2009 at 7:59 am

#6 RDD said, “The ultimate in gross abuse of the second amendment. This guy should be held responsible for anything that happens to his neighbor.”

Why? All the neighbor has to do is arm himself and he can be protected from any bad guys. Besides, signage is speech which would be a gross abuse of the First Amendment. I know the Constitution is too confusing to some people, but I know the difference between the First and Second Amendments.

Yes you are right about the 1st vs 2nd amendment, I was thinking 1st, just typed 2nd, Duh!! thanx for the correction.

AS to the other part, why should I be forced to buy anything because my neighbor is a douche.

# 19 JimR said, on October 22nd, 2009 at 8:22 am

Criminal mind at work…

“Now that I know you have guns, I’m just going to kill you, take the guns and sell them. You must have lots of money too, since you can waste it on a stupid sign.”

Oh my. Sorry, this is thought is more realistic…

# 20 qb said, on October 22nd, 2009 at 8:25 am

This may sound quaint, but where I live when my front door is locked that let’s the neighbors know I’m not home so they should use the back door.

# 21 Dallas said, on October 22nd, 2009 at 8:30 am

#3 Looks like Postman is making a presidential threat. I would watch your back and listen for clicking sounds on your phone.

# 22 Angus said, on October 22nd, 2009 at 8:33 am

#3, ironically, that person being pulled out of the car in your scenerio is most likely to be carrying a gun and defend himself. Rioter dead, problem solved.

# 23 GF said, on October 22nd, 2009 at 8:39 am

#3 My guess is that the ‘bush voter’ has enough money to repair their car and has a concealed weapons permit, gun and lots of ammo. You’ll just get the rioters killed if you point your finger at the bush supporter.

# 24 Pinkerton said, on October 22nd, 2009 at 8:40 am

There are two kinds of prophecy, false and self-fulfilling. This is an example of the latter.

Re: qb, #20… just don’t tell anyone that your neighbours like to sit inside your back door with a 12 gage and itchy fingers.

# 26 spsffan said, on October 22nd, 2009 at 9:02 am

It seems that everyone is missing the point that the neighbor “wants to ban all guns” and is most likely advocates that position publicly.

So, it’s not just that the neighbor is unarmed, it is that he (or she) wants everyone else to be too.

That’s why the sign points to the left, rather than to the right where there might well me another unarmed neighbor who doesn’t go around advocating denial of rights guaranteed by the Constitution.

# 27 Michael_gr said, on October 22nd, 2009 at 9:04 am

If I were a criminal seeing this sign I’d wait until this asshat left the house, and then I’d steal his money AND his guns.

# 28 Benjamin said, on October 22nd, 2009 at 9:06 am

There are some good reasons to carry a gun. The first is a police man would get kind of heavy if you had to carry him around all day.

Postman: most people avoid riots by not going to LA.

# 29 fauge said, on October 22nd, 2009 at 9:09 am

I would like to know the back story of what led up the the sign. I do like the Idea. If the neighbor got his way everyone would know that he was unarmed so I see no harm in providing it now.
If you are anti second amendment you should not rely on it for protection in any form be it by owning a gun or leaving the question open.

# 30 Fat_Anarchy said, on October 22nd, 2009 at 9:13 am

What a complete asshole that guy is. A petit, vindictive, immature asshole at that. Whether you agree if guns should be banned or not is irrelevant. He is actively trying to increase the chances of the neighbour and his/her family being robbed/raped/maimed/murdered for the sake of trivial political opinions. He has obviously gone out his way quite a bit to risk his neighbours life in order to be “right” about this particular issue. As always, you get these sad people who tie so much of their identity into being correct, that they happily forsake all other real life suffering for it.

I know the phrase “get a life” is thrown around as an off-cuff insult, but in this case it is a serious suggestion to the guy. He obviously has too much time on his hands and gets far too absorbed in such trivialities. Get a hobby or something! Geesh. This is why gun supporters get such a bad reputation as being assholes.

# 31 The Flying Spartan said, on October 22nd, 2009 at 9:24 am

#10, Benji,

Why? All the neighbor has to do is arm himself and he can be protected from any bad guys. Besides, signage is speech which would be a gross abuse of the First Amendment. I know the Constitution is too confusing to some people, but I know the difference between the First and Second Amendments.

Obviously written by someone who doesn’t understand the law or Constitution. Your second sentence makes absolutely no sense. Signage may or may not be protected speech. If you recall, which I doubt, “freedom of speech does not give someone the right to yell fire in a crowded theater”. Nor does libel, fraud, or incitement to commit a crime.

A reasonable person could look at that sign as an incitement to burglarize the house next door. That is a felony, not freedom of speech. Will the homeowner use his 2nd Amendment right to protect his home from the arresting officers?

# 34 scotterotter said, on October 22nd, 2009 at 9:49 am

The sign really is saying “my house has guns, break in and steal them to use for other crimes”

# 35 Jim said, on October 22nd, 2009 at 9:50 am

The first time a neighbor tried to do that would be the last. A few calls to the local mayor’s office would deal with the situation, as most localities don’t allow such things in people’s yards.

Plus, as someone mentioned, it would be considered incitement to commit a felony, which would likely get the homeowner in court at least and cost him a few hundred bucks for being an ass.

But it’s probably photoshopped, as most supposedly “funny” things are these days.

# 36 right said, on October 22nd, 2009 at 9:50 am

“All the neighbor has to do is arm himself and he can be protected from any bad guys.”

You don’t even realize the fear you live in and what does that say about your society? You make it sound like buying armaments is as easy as buying groceries.
I’ve never had a gun, seen a gun and everyone I’ve grown up with has never owned a gun.

Mine are all in a huge ass safe, and I can be home or not, depending on my whim. Anybody who wants to try to rob me can take their chances, I guess. I just don’t want too big of a mess to clean up, so keep a 9mm on me.

# 40 Faxon said, on October 22nd, 2009 at 10:46 am

#36. You, sir, are a pansy. Can we send some crooks your way? They need the easy pickings.

# 41 Benjamin said, on October 22nd, 2009 at 10:56 am

Right wrongly said,
“You don’t even realize the fear you live in and what does that say about your society? You make it sound like buying armaments is as easy as buying groceries.
I’ve never had a gun, seen a gun and everyone I’ve grown up with has never owned a gun.”

Well it depends if your grocery store uses loyalty cards or not. All you do is go to the gun store, point at a gun and say you want to buy it. They run your name through a computer, check that you are not a felon, and take your money. You take said gun home. That takes less time than filling up a cart with groceries, filling out a form for a customer loyalty card, and waiting in the long line on a Friday evening.

You would be surprised how many people you meet in life are gun owners. Most of us don’t carry them on slings over our shoulders or pull them out of concealment at the least provocation.

When it comes down to it, who will protect you from a criminal?

# 42 The0ne said, on October 22nd, 2009 at 10:58 am

Lol, I don’t own arms because unlike many morons out there I’m a good shot. I’ve competed in many ROTC in my younger years to know I can pick people off easily. I also know I had a bad temper and can get insane. That is why I’m against arms…people are insane.

Seriously, give me a rifle and I can toss that thing high in the air and without looking at it grab it and shoot you down in seconds, between your head. Now do you want some crazy like me to own a gun or knowing that I made the right choice not to own any?

If you disagree feel free to sign my contract allowing me to kill your sorry behind and I’ll happily do it…for free. We can even do it western cowboy style to give you a chance to hit me.

# 43 Benjamin said, on October 22nd, 2009 at 11:01 am

#33 Mr Fusion, “A reasonable person could look at that sign as an incitement to burglarize the house next door.”

I doubt it. It’s just telling someone who is about to burglarize a house anyway that if they don’t want to be shot they should go next door instead of his house. Besides the sign does not say to burglarize a house.

# 44 Mr. Fusion said, on October 22nd, 2009 at 11:08 am

#20, qb,

Our front door is always locked. It is easier to enter from the side door anyway.

The back door is where we leave our dog’s bed. And she doesn’t like being surprised by people she doesn’t know. Who needs a doorbell when she barks to alert us someone is at the door.

# 45 Rick said, on October 22nd, 2009 at 11:13 am

# 46 Olo Baggins of Bywater said, on October 22nd, 2009 at 11:23 am

Similar discussion going on at my local paper’s comments section. The part that’s insane is seeing the nutballs go off when ANY sort of restriction is mentioned. That and the idea that millions of guns are effectively used as protection against bad guys every day. But we never hear about it. I wonder why?

# 47 Phydeau said, on October 22nd, 2009 at 11:35 am

I think that gun nuts are anxious about how things are going in the world, and cling to their guns to help them feel better. Look at all the bad news in the world today. It could make anyone feel worried and helpless. But having guns makes you feel powerful, at least in your immediate sphere of influence.

# 48 Phydeau said, on October 22nd, 2009 at 11:39 am

I think the neighbor should put up a sign that says:

If you are worried about being accidentally shot by my neighbor the gun nut, it is safe to be in the neighborhood when he is at work, which is from 8:00AM to 6:00PM Monday through Friday. He also goes out of town from 1:00PM Saturday until 5:00PM Sunday the first weekend of every month, so it’s safe to come around then too.

Just trying to be a helpful neighbor…

# 49 right said, on October 22nd, 2009 at 11:41 am

“You would be surprised how many people you meet in life are gun owners.”
I would be very surprised because none of the people I know owns a gun. It’s not in our culture to need a gun and I know that might seem weird to some but that is the case where I live.
I like it, I like it a lot.

Continuing that thought, guns didn’t protect our economy from AIG, Bank of America or the other investment funds and banks that stole from their customers.

Guns didn’t protect us from getting into a bogus war in Iraq based on false evidence.

Guns didn’t prevent Enron from cheating and stealing.

Guns won’t prevent your insurance company from canceling your policy if you get very sick.

Guns won’t stop your company from laying you off and moving their factory to China.

Guns won’t stop the government from spying on you without a warrant.

And guns won’t even stop the government from falsely arresting you for being a terrorist and throwing you in jail without a lawyer. Guns will only slow them down — after you’ve shot the cop trying to arrest you, the SWAT team will take you down.

But guns sure do make some people feel good.

# 55 JimR said, on October 22nd, 2009 at 2:05 pm

#53, SomeRationalGuy, I read over your linked site…. lots of 17-19 year old kids getting shot and killed for simple burglary. Someone steals your silver candy tray, and you think they should be shot and killed? You would rather have that than have guns severely restricted for everyone including criminals? Yeah, that’s rational.

Maybe you should care more for why they are so desperate that they are stealing your semi-valuable crap.

# 56 Faxon said, on October 22nd, 2009 at 3:32 pm

#55. Jim, I hope they all go to your house.

# 57 Faxon said, on October 22nd, 2009 at 3:37 pm

The Police are NOT required or tasked to protect you. That is the law.
When they are sent to a crime, their job is to arrest the lawbreaker. They are NOT sent to protect ANYBODY.

All they do is clean up the mess afterwards, and try to find the guilty party. That being said, who the hell do you think IS going to protect you?

# 58 Phydeau said, on October 22nd, 2009 at 4:01 pm

We’ve all seen the statistics, that guns in the home are far more likely to be used on the residents than any burglar. Or on some hapless drunk stranger trying to get home who goes to the wrong house. And we’ve all read how rare it is that the resident really can get the drop on the burglar. So spare us the bullsh*t of how safe it makes you. You’re better off sticking with the Second Amendment argument.

But every gun nut thinks it won’t happen to him. Until he kills his teenage son sneaking in after a late night out, thinking he’s an intruder.

# 59 canucklehead said, on October 22nd, 2009 at 4:08 pm

# 63 Phydeau said, on October 22nd, 2009 at 5:44 pm

#60 Here’s some quotes from that article.

Gun-toting soccer mom found shot dead

LEBANON, Pa. – A mother of three who became a voice of the gun-rights movement when she openly carried a loaded pistol to her daughter’s soccer game was fatally shot along with her husband, a parole officer and former prison guard, in an apparent murder-suicide at their home.

They had a marital spat. And since there were guns there, it turned deadly. Nice touch: the kids were there and witnessed it, ran out of the house screaming “Daddy shot mommy!” So not only did they both die, they f*cked up their kids in the process.

Now how was that again, about guns making you safer?

# 64 copper_stopper said, on October 22nd, 2009 at 5:48 pm

This is just a variation on the “bait car” sting
operation.

“ultra rapid lead poisoning”.

# 65 GetSmart said, on October 22nd, 2009 at 6:30 pm

You don’t necessarily have to shoot an intruder. Just the sound of the slide of a pump shotgun putting one in firing position will make anyone who is even remotely in their right mind run for their freaking lives.

And robberies are far, far less per capita/1000 in Canada (.82) or Germany (.72) than the US (1.39) or the UK (1.57). If you’re going to play the stats game, it’s good to have a loaded gun.

# 70 tudza said, on October 22nd, 2009 at 10:18 pm

Phydeau, I have done jury duty from time to time. The one case I was a part of that involved domestic violence had no guns. The husband hit his wife with a lamp and she stabbed him with a kitchen knife.

Still, if this sign is real, it is in poor taste. You know what they say, a polite society is a polite society.

# 71 deowll said, on October 22nd, 2009 at 10:23 pm

You don’t make people safer by removing guns. It just means that knives and clubs are back in fashion.

Of course law biding citizens won’t have guns and criminals normally do.

Heck if you want gun control laws try China. You should feel real safe there. Germany under Hitler and Russia under Stalin were paradise for gun control lovers.

On the other hand Switzerland must be purgatory. The men are all in the military and the last I heard they have issue weapons in their homes.

In spite of my pacifist leanings (don’t tell anyone), if that arrow pointed in my direction I think I’d feed that arrow and the rest of the sign to the asshole neighbor who posted it! (And his little dog, too!)

# 75 Leave Now said, on October 23rd, 2009 at 3:31 am

Seems that guy is risking being shot by his unarmed neighbor for putting up that sign. The neighbor is clearly a peace and love kinda guy. He wouldn’t have put up that sign if his neighbor was a gang banger who spoke publicly saying he didn’t believe in guns and wanted them all banned and that he believes in knives and pit bulls for protection.

#71, On the other hand Switzerland must be purgatory. The men are all in the military and the last I heard they have issue weapons in their homes.

Police statistics for the year 2006[13] records 34 killings or attempted killings involving firearms, compared to 69 cases involving bladed weapons and 16 cases of unarmed assault. Cases of assault resulting in bodily harm numbered 89 (firearms) and 526 (bladed weapons). This represents a decline of aggravated assaults involving firearms since the early 1990s. Some 300 deaths per year are due to legally held army ordinance weapons, the large majority of these being suicides. The majority of gun crimes involving domestic violence are perpetrated with army ordnance weapons, while the majority of gun crime outside the domestic sphere involves illegally held firearms.[14]

I personally don’t have a big problem with guns. I have a problem with the paranoids who have to tell everybody in the world how they have a gun and will shoot any shadow that appears at their door.
If I’m secret service, the first person I’m gonna “drop” in a situation, is the “patriot?” who thought it was a good idea to bring a handgun to a presidential event. How’s the guy gonna’ defend himself? Fire into the crowd?
You do have a right to defend yourself. No doubt.
The funny thing is that people like this think that they are brave, macho, patriotic.
You’re not brave if you have to mention that you have a gun when you are making an argument.
You’re not manly if you’re afraid of your unarmed neighbors because they have a problem with you shooting squirrels in their back yard.
You’re not patriotic if you think that being American means that everyone should agree with you, or face the consequences.
I guess the neighbor should put up a sign saying,” My neighbor likes gay sex -> ”
Free speach… Right?

# 85 Christopher Burg said, on October 23rd, 2009 at 11:15 am

Everybody who’s for gun control please look at countries that have enacted gun bans. Usually a gun ban leads directly into government tyranny. Take a look at Nazi Germany for instance (before somebody cites Godwin’s law do note I’m not comparing anybody to Hitler and am using a historically accurate example for an argument that needs a look into history).

After the Nazi’s came to power they required citizens to register all firearms. Shortly after registration they confiscated all the registered firearms as they knew who owned them and where to find the owners. And after that we had the holocaust which ended up killing millions of defenseless civilians. And armed citizenry gives people a fighting chance against such situations and makes those who would commit tyranny think twice before doing it.

Find for me a single example of gun control actually making a country safer (and before you bring up formerly Great Britain take a look at their violent crime rate compared to ours).

#42:

I highly doubt you’ve ever shot a rifle in your life. Anybody who has knows you can’t throw the thing in the air, catch it, and shoot somebody without aiming. I’m guessing you don’t own guns because your temper drove you to a domestic violence case which in turn made you a prohibited person.

#63:

You do realize that the husband in that story was a peace officer and carried a gun by fact of his career right? Most gun control advocates want to disarm civilians but allow police and military personnel to carry guns. So even if the Brady Bunch had their wet dream come true that murder suicide would still be possible since the husband was a peace officer. Would you like to try another irrelevant story as an example?

At least five burglars on this forum fessed up to the factoid that we crinimals now know where the stealable guns are. Thanx for the tip.

Here is the dirty secret the gun and ammo industry doesn’t want you to know:

guns SUCK at defense.

Unless you’re an idiot or deluded, you know it’s true.

My neighbors house was broken into about 2-years ago. He’s a great guy, and I have no problem with him having a gun to protect himself. He wasn’t home at the time. They got past his alarm, broke into his safes(2- gun safes and a security safe)and made off with enough firepower to supply a small army. The bad guys are well armed now. What kind of guns should I buy to protect myself from the shotguns ,rifles, semi-automatic handguns and AR-15s? Should I keep them loaded and under my pillow? I’ll check back on your comments when I get the nerve to come out of my bomb shelter.

The real dirty is that the police cannot/will not protect you against theft. If a thief breaks into your house, your odds of catching the thief or getting any of your stuff back are pretty close to zero. Having or not having guns makes no difference in 99% of theft cases.

What would help is to throw out the rights of a thief that is in the act of breaking into your house or stealing your stuff. It is ridiculous that if you put a bear trap in your living room and a thief breaks in and steps in it, that you can be charged. Somehow, we have become a society that protects the rights of the criminals more than the victims.

Wow, easily one of the worst photoshopping jobs I’ve ever seen

Personally I like it when gun idiots do stuff like this. The federal government now knows who’s house needs to taken out with tanks.

Americans and their love for weapons. Sickening.

For all the arguments here, you’re all missing the point that it was PHOTOSHOPPED. Clearly. The edges are too clear and the sign is perpendicular to the “camera” instead of parallel to that sidewalk which is so neatly edged. Look at where the signposts are stuck in the ground. It’s a fake, people! It’s a joke to make people laugh, not divide everyone with all these arguments!

#82, Please explain why you would sacrifice other to save your wife and I’ll answer your question. I’ve already answered one of yours. Your turn.

The second amendment exists for citizens to protect themselves from abuses of government as much as from the criminal element, but I repeat myself.

Any public official that is afraid of being surrounded by armed constituents is a public official that the constituents should be afraid of.

The more I read, of what my fellow Americans have to say, the more I realize that half of them are neither good, nor truely American. The great melting-pot has become too diluted. Diversity can be a good thing, but like anything else, can be harmfull in excess. When members of a group share little or nothing in common, then they cease to be united. “United we stand, Divided we fall.” The posters here, are clearly divided.

I didn’t even bother to read all of these rediculous posts. Yah- you can say all day, “you should have taken the time too, because I’m right and you missed mine.” The fact is that all most every thing I’ve read here is derogatory in one way or another. A bunch of argueing over a sign posted in some guys lawn- “who cares!” Really- who cares, if that is how he feels/photoshop or not, than let him feel that way. If this is how all of you feel- than it’s your choice. Want to prove you’re right over some one else by slandering and insulting others, your choice. If there where better ways to resolve difference in opinion it’s been lost here today. All of these beliefes and insults and I would rob you or I would shoot you, it is merely a way for everyone to feel better about thier insicurities. “I would blow your brains out” – “The amendments” , don’t be rediculous! What do you know about the use of weapons, they are meant to protect the people you love, not to hurt people. All of these postings have absolutely know life or love behind them, just excuses and hateful meanings. I don’t care if you talk about amendments, but don’t talk about amendments and then bash someone in the same exect statement or your following statement, you have know idea what our amendments stand for in that case. And don’t write about being all high and mighty super trooper and tell everyone what the purpose for a weapon is. A weapon- is a means to further your purpose, it’s a way to tip the scales or even them out- a weapon should never be used to kill or to hurt, but to protect, to protect the people in our lives that we love, to protect justice and if we have the power to harness our own strength than we should use it to protect the weaker people who do not! I don’t care if you like what I have had to say- I’m not saying it to be heard or understood or liked, I don’t care if you agree with me- I don’t care if you ever change your ways of thinking, but there are still heros out there- there are still good guys. Stop being so judgemental of people, let them live thier lives the way they want to- some people will never find that peace, some will take a lifetime to find it, some people find it early- just do what you can to make the people around you happy, work hard, believe in yourself, believe in your friends, and never give up! : )
