    Come at me threateningly with a couple of knives and a broken glass bottle, throwing one of the knives at me when I am telling you to stand down, and I'll shoot yer ass, too, center mass

    This.

    It's stupid fucktards like you that give responsible gun owners like me a bad rap. You see, if you came at me with a knife, or throwing knives, I would shoot you in the leg. Poblem solved. You get to live, in severe pain likely for hours, then possible suffer permanent mobility issues for life.

    See, you'd get to live. To face justice. I'm not a vigilante, nor a murderer. I hope that if you ever do shoot someone "center mass", even in self defense, that the authorities reference your post and take it into consideration that you've always wanted to kill someone.

    Your rhetoric turns my stomach just as much as those Limey's saying the Cops should be shooting and beating the impoverished rioters. You are the scum of the Earth.
