The Difference Between The Liberal and Conservative "Debate" Over The War On Terrorism:

Question:

You're walking down a deserted street with your wife and two small children. Suddenly, a dangerous looking man with a huge knife comes around the corner and is running at you while screaming obscenities.

In your hand is a Glock .40 (I have one of these...nice gun) and you are an expert shot (not really but I have a 15 round clip). You have mere seconds before he reaches you and your family. What do you do?

Liberal Answer:

Well, that's not enough information to answer the question! Does the man look poor or oppressed? Have I ever done anything to him that is inspiring him to attack? Could we run away? What does my wife think? What about the kids? Could I possibly swing the gun like a club and knock the knife out of his hand? What does the law say about this situation? Is it possible he'd be happy with just killing me? Does he definitely want to kill me or would he just be content to wound me? If I were to grab his knees and hold on, could my family get away while he was stabbing me? This is all so confusing! I need to debate this with some friends for a few days to try to come to a conclusion.

Texan's Answer:

BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! click... (sounds of clip being ejected and fresh clip installed)

Wife: "Sweetheart, he looks like he's still moving, what do you kids think?"

Son: "Mom's right Dad, I saw it too..."

BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG!

Daughter: "Nice grouping, Daddy!"

I'm in the middle, I'd shoot him in the knee.

[OdderMensch]

so i'd carry more than two clips. I'm very liberal with my ammo consuption in these situations.
As you can see by the good grouping comment, we Texans are all for gun control. :D

[Losttrak]

woohoo! Texas!

r5a- :) - :D - :cool:


NP- wrong answer. That is like leaving Saddam alive the first time around. You'll just have to deal with him again at a later time. Probably in court when he sues and takes everything you have or ever hope to have for his suffering. If you have to shoot him, do it quick, do it right.

OM- ;)

[Aramus]

Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang...Ok, that should do it, one in the head (or maybe two)...dnc101 is right, better remove him from the gene pool than give him a chance to sue. If you have your wife and kids, your OK in offing him :)

[carly]

empty the clip

[Kinjit]

I have not trained with guns at all, but as I understand it it is next to impossible to hit someone in the knee in a stressful situation. I might be wrong.

[txwingchun]

After I was done shooting him I would eat the remains of his corpse.

[Braden]

I'd make a bug-eyed earl comic about it.

I think you left something out.

The Liberal would also send an army of social workers out into the thug's neighborhood, which would do far more damage than a couple of clips. :D
