I Remember When Romney Attacked That Guy With the Assault Scissors
The left really was traumatized by that story, so much so they are now recommending it as a means of defense in lieu of your confiscated gun. Personally, I would go with the hot pot of coffee, followed by a thrashing with a handful of plastic stirrers.
NY Post
Homeland Security recommends defending yourself with scissors in the event a crazed gunman starts shooting up your workplace.

Now I KNOW Homeland Security can’t be thinking about those evil deadly pointy attack scissors. They mean the blunt ones given to kids in schools.
Although, it should be outlawed to file the blunt ends to a point. But then only criminals will have pointy scissors.

There was a report on TV a couple weeks ago where an armed civilian was to pull out a concealed gun in a classroom setting to take out a shooter. They “proved” that an ordinary person grabbing a concealed weapon before they, themselves, get shot was nearly “impossible.” They had to perform 2 tasks: remove the gun and shoot it. Remember, this turned out to be near impossible.
Yet, the 30-40 steps you’re suppose to remember and carry out in this easy-to-follow instructional video will most certainly save your life.
Riiiiiiiiiiight.

Excuse me, but in schools, the scissors look like this and this.
Those are going to work well. Great strategy, Napoleon!

What if my scissors have a pistol grip and threaded shears? Are they illegal assault scissors?

What a waste of time and money to produce this misleading helpful advice.
Here is the answer; take a handgun to work, put it on top of your desk and be prepared to shoot.

Next up will be a “National Scissors Registry”.
In order to own the dangerous steel, pointy kind of scissors, you will have to prove you are a tailor, barber, hairdresser or surgeon.
The scissors must be stored unassembled. The two blades to be stored separately, in special secure, locked scissor cabinets, with the screw stored in a separate location off-site.
You must be certified by a licensed Scissors Training facility, subject to renewal annually.

I know I’m a mite off tropics, but check out the NY Post headlines: they found Tawana Brawley!!!!
Ever since she took off on that flight over the Pacific and founded a luggage company just before she bolted, most assumed she slept with the fishes.
Haleluja, she’s b-a-a-a-a-a-a-c-c-c-c-c-k-k-k-k-k!!!

Yes, I figured the Hello Kitty Assault Bubble Blower that sent Pennsylvania Public Schools into lock down wouldn’t be recommended.
So is it real scissors or the kind we had in grade school? We remembered paper smells last week. Remember the rounded scissors?

They’ll ban scissors as well because some innocent kid could make a paper gun and find themselves in trouble with the school authorities. Rocks can be found anywhere and didn’t David kill Goliath with a stone. Hell, lets just ban everything. Problem solved. We’re in Cloud Coo-Coo Land my friends and its driving me nuts.

Janet Napolitano probably learned the scissors as assault weapon from a lesbian doctor friend at Planned Parenthood. “Just make sure you stab them in the base of the skull.”

They forgot to mention that paid actors hired by the Dept. of Homeland Securtity may arrive to play the part of victims and witnesses for the govt. controlled media, do not interfere with their efforts to undermine the 2nd amendment and further erode your civil rights.

Could this be true???
Why is it that none of the disturbed and evil men who steal guns, then go and kill
movie-goers and children in school, has ever been identified as a conservative
NRA member? Here’s why:
Ft Hood~~~ Registered Democrat ~ Muslim
Columbine~~~ Too young to vote; both families were registered
Democrats and progressive liberals
Virginia Tech~~~ Wrote hate mail to President Bush and to his staff ~
Registered Democrat
Colorado Theater~~~ Registered Democrat; staff worker on the Obama campaign; Occupy Wall Street participant;
progressive liberal
Connecticut School Shooter- ~~~ Registered Democrat; hated Christians
Common thread: All of the shooters were progressive liberal Democrats.
INTERESTING, isn’t it?

They choose scissors because it is their weapon of choice when they are killing babies.

I call BS on this report; as I think you were doing, too. (Well, it was on TV, right? Of course it’s BS.)
At any rate, serious firearms training concentrates on a person being able to draw and fire from CC in just a few seconds. Unless you are going to “telegraph” your intentions through idiotic body language (or even, as a Leftist might do, give a verbal heads-up–i.e., “halt, or I’ll shoot!”) I’d say there is a pretty good chance you’d take out the active shooter.
I know several people personally who could do it.
It’s despicable when the Left tries to discourage people from defending themselves.

I would like a discussion on which weapon or firearm would be more appropriate to defend oneself from an attacking Homeland Security agent.

He actualy worked on Gifford’s campaign. He shot Gabby because she was not going all out on leftist agenda. He felt betrayed.

#1 Kill the shooter with your legally carried handgun.
#2 Now dial 911.

So….in other words…..sit back and be a victim. Then wait for the gov’t to come in and drag your lifeless corpse from the building.
Smart plan.
How about everyone has a gun at the office. That way, when the lone shooter comes in to shoot, he gets riddled with bullets…..
