    Interesting quote, especially given the context of the site.

    Can you elaborate on what it means to you, and how you think it fits in with the responsible ownership of firearms?

    For some reason I foresee a very steep and long hill ahead of this thread......

    In a perfect world, this would be true. Unfortunately, we don't live in a perfect world. There are a growing number amongst us who don't respect the rights of others, nor do they value human life. These people fail to understand reason or compassion. What they understand is the application of a greater force than they are able to trespass upon others; nothing less.

    Well quoted Chunky!

    Mr. Bubba, consider this, there are those of us who:
    (A) respect others and reasonable boundaries, (B) maintain that there is nothing more valuable than a human life, (C) wish to dictate the direction of our own lives - versus letting another individual choose for us, (D) think with logic and reason, and (E) take the responsibility for our safety and the safety of our loved ones upon ourselves instead of expecting someone else to provide safety for us. It is we who understand that sometimes the power that comes from the barrel of a gun is the only thing preventing us from becoming someone's victim.

    But then, according to your profile you're just 18 and given the bias touchy-feeler sort of education system we have today, I wouldn't expect you'd understand what I'm saying.

    I have to agree with this.

    um...bullets come for the barrel of the gun. one must be aware of his/her surroundings when shooting as well...kind of the very basics that are taught at every level of shooting/hunting.

    Mr Gayle is probably trying to talk to those in the hood looking to gain power with guns, and try to talk them into coming together for the better of themselves and the community. Problem is, nobody has heard of him...but you can be damn sure they know who Jay-Z, Little Wayne and Snoop Dogg are.
    All I have in this world is my balls and my word and I don't break em for no one.
