Are you a Democrat, a Republican, or a Southerner?

Here is a little test that will help you decide.



The answer can be found by posing the following question:

You're walking down a deserted street with your wife
and two small children.

Suddenly, a Terrorist with a huge knife
comes around the corner,
locks eyes with you,
screams obscenities,
raises the knife, and charges at you...

You are carrying a
Kimber 1911 cal. 45 ACP, and you are an expert shot.
You have mere seconds before he reaches you and your family.
What do you do?


THINK CAREFULLY AND
THEN SCROLL DOWN:




Democrat's Answer:
· Well, that's not enough inform-ation to answer the question!
· What is a Kimber 1911 cal. 45 ACP?
· Does the man look poor or oppressed?
· Is he really a terrorist? Am I guilty of profiling?
· Have I ever done anything to him that would inspire 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?
· Does the pistol have an appropriate safety built into it?
· Why am I carrying a loaded gun anyway, and what kind of message does this send to society and to my children?
· Is it possible he'd be happy with just killing me?
· Does he definitely want to kill me, or would he be content just to wound me?
· If I were to grab his knees and hold on, could my family get away while he was stabbing me?
· Should I call 9-1-1?
· Why is this street so deserted?
· We need to raise taxes, have paint & weed day.
· Can we make this a happier, healthier street that would discourage such behavior.
· I need to debate this with some friends for a few days and try to come to a consensus.
· This is all so confusing!

Chuckles, but the democrat does raise one good point:

"Why am I carrying a loaded gun anyway, and what kind of message does this send to society and to my children?"

Because they can. You've used the same reasoning at some point in your life, I'm sure.

Libertarian. Everyone on the street would have a pistol, so he'd be gibbed like he'd just been hit with a Metal Storm gun.

Silly jingoistic rhetorical question really.

A human reaction in this situation would surpass politics, some may be brave, some cowardly, some may freeze, some may be quick thinking, fight or flight and all that.

In my case I'd use it, what's the point of carrying a gun anyway if it's not to be used when necessary. If I had time I'd like to use it to incapacitate the bloke in a (hopefully) non lethal manner.

Also go ask it on a Yank website for obvious reasons.

Stupid question is stupid. Stupid answers are just as stupid.
