    Well… you won't believe me, but when I was walking home through an alley at night after my community College classes, and I had a .22 pressed into my back shoulder with a voice saying "don't fucking move", I turned around (pretty slowly in fact), took the gun (quite casually in fact) and then watched the dude run.

    Then I called 911, turned the gun over to the cops, and filed a report.

    I didn't have a gun myself, and I didn't shoot at his back with his gun.

    So ya… I see what you are trying to do, but personally, I think I'm just pretty dumb and not a pussy.

    Cops told me the guy was a simple mugger who had been working the block for about a month, and I should have just given him my wallet, but they also seemed pretty jazzed to have his gun.

      you won't believe me

      Correct. I did not.

      I think I'm just pretty dumb

      At least we agree on something

      Cops told me the guy was a simple mugger who had been working the block for about a month, and I should have just given him my wallet, but they also seemed pretty jazzed to have his gun.

      And then everyone clapped

        Great job sugartits.

        You won the internet with your "he should have murdered that unarmed 13 year old" rhetoric.

        Feel like a big boy now?

        Cus all I see is you and your kin. A bunch of piss babies running round with your guns.

        No mass shootings ended. But yall real efficient bout murdering brown children.

          Yet again you've missed the point. And now you reply with emotion and anger instead of thinking, even for a moment.

          I can tell you again and again, as others have done. However, sadly I cannot make you understand.

          For the record, I do not own any weapons. Never have and probably never will.
