What is the common man to do in this time of such violence? The guy who goes to work, bothers no one and just wants to be left alone.? What does he do in this situation?

My parents are close to 80...my wife drives into BR daily for work.....my daughter is in Dallas for an internship at a construction company. What happens if they get caught somewhere and can’t get out and God forbid they are harmed? Why won’t local officials put a stop to this ?

Our elected officials are failing to protect the peaceful people of this country. What in the hell has happened to common sense?

Sounds to me like you should invest in a pair of Glock 43s and head to Dallas after you make sure the wife is comfortable with hers.

We are our only defense at this point. Train yourself, train your family and start arming up. Although for those who aren’t stocked, it may be too late. Ammo is going to get increasingly hard to acquire.

The elected officials that could shut this down in their cities and states are beholden to the rioters.

It's all politics.

The thing is the democrats don't give a damn about your parents, your wife or your kids. If they think it helps them in any way politically they would watch every one of them die and not move a muscle to help.

For evidence, just look at some of the left wing posters celebrating the violence just because they think it may be hurting Trump politically.

Vote accordingly folks

I would make sure they have a weapon in their cars and know how to use it.

First, start by never casting a vote for a democrat in any election EVER, be it national, state, or local, from President all the way down to school board.

Second, talk to your family about staying safe and avoiding dangerous situations.

Third, get a gun if you don’t already have one. Train yourself well on it. Go to the range. Educate your family on self defense.

Was rocking my daughter back to sleep earlier this morning while watching the news and I was grateful in that moment of complete disgust that she’s not old enough to ask questions about what’s going on bc I sure as hell don’t know what answers I would give her.

Nefarious, unseen forces must be in control (through blackmail, money, etc) of many of our politicians. I don't see any other explanation for how stupid they are.

everyone says, this but do we really want to kill someone or be responsible for shooting?

the point is, it shouldn't come to that for us to deal with in the 21st century

I am for guns if people want them, I don't own guns but thought about it more and more because of this crap on tV.

What the Democrats have done to Trump scares me more than the black and white people tearing things up

Nah, they are consumed with image and having the police crack skulls, or even get tough will not bode well for their reelectiin in blue cities and states.

Dem leadership will want to prosecute you if defending yourself from their Antifa comrades. Hope is that LE says frick it, we need your firepower

You are the one whining.

If it comes down to it do you want to live? Do you want your family to live and not be raped by thugs?

Pretty easy choice.

Want to? No.

Be willing to do so if necessary? Of fricking course

Humans are humans. Technology doesn't change that.

Any American paying attention in the last 10 years should own weapons. If you wait until you KNOW you need them, you'll be shite out of luck.

The two are actually related and, didn't begin with Trump, and won't end with Trump.

Anyone that says they do "really want to kill someone" is absolutely lying. However, there is a difference in being prepared to do what is necessary and sitting around waiting for someone else (police) to take care of you...

It already was that way before this.

I don't own guns


Explains your stance...

If you do decide to purchase one, you need to train with it...
