Quote from traderNik:
preparing to defend oneself is taking action, isn't it?
All I said was that if someone says to you 'I am going to kill you and your family', it is stupid to suggest that the best course of action is to respond with words!!! YOU JUST SAID that if someone threatens you it might be wise to carry a gun. What if someone threatens you and you don't own a gun. Should you go out and get a license and buy a gun?? Doesn't that qualify as acting in preparation for self defence??
You're losing it - you are attacking me for making an argument then making the same argument yourself.
You and LoZZER can play semantics. I come from Chicago. We say what we mean. Just answer this question and your intent will be clear.
Should Israel preemptively bomb Iran because of Tehran's "threats"?
