What's YOUR political affiliation?

Are you a Democrat, Republican or Redneck?

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, an Islamic Terrorist with a huge knife comes around the corner, locks eyes with you, screams obscenities, praises Allah, raises the knife, and charges at you. You are carrying a Glock 40 cal., and you are an expert shot. You have mere seconds before he reaches you and your family. What do you do?
.........................................................

Democrat's Answer:
Well, that's not enough information to answer the question!
Does the man look poor or oppressed?
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 Glock have 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 w as stabbing me?
Should I call 9-1-1?
Why is this street so deserted?
We need to raise taxes, have a paint and weed day and make this a happier, healthier street that would discourage such behavior.
This is all so confusing! I need to debate this with some friends for few days and try to come to a consensus.

...............................................
Republican's Answer:
BANG!
...............................................

Redneck's Answer:
BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! Click..... (Sounds of reloading)
BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! Click
Daughter: 'Nice grouping, Daddy! Were those the Winchester Silver Tips or the Hollow Points?'
Son: 'Can I shoot the next one!'
Wife: 'You ain't taking that to the Taxidermist! '

Glock 22: 15 in the magazine, 1 in the pipe. Optional 17 rd magazine
Glock 23: 13 in the magazine, 1 in the pipe. Optional 15, 17 rd magazine
Glock 27: 9 in the magazine, 1 in the pipe. Optional 11, 13, 15, 17 rd magazine
Glock 35: 15 in the magazine, 1 in the pipe. Optional 17 rd magazine

Even the wife doesn't shoot a G27 so the Redneck didn't load the magazines fully.

My answer: I have Crimson Trace laser sights that activate when I pick up the gun so I would put one in the heart and have it stuffed as a trophy. What affiliation am I?

Deciding if I'm a democrat or a republican is like asking me which would be less of a pain in the ass - a broken right arm or a broken left leg. Broken right arm - can't move the shifter. Broken left leg - can't move the clutch pedal. Both equally pains in the ass, neither any less of a nuisance.

Bang! One shot. One kill. I'm cheap and I'm not gonna waste anymore good ammo on scum like that than I needed.

And I'm a strict constructionist, registered as a (southern) democrat.

Broken Arm. Easier to walk around and I drive an auto. I drove an auto with a broken right leg and if I had to choose, I'd have gone with the broken arm

But would it be as much fun? That is quick and clean. Maybe you want to stretch it out for entertainment? First shots would be the legs. Man can't stand, man can't fight. Then the family jewels. Extremities would be a good place to cause pain. Can't shoot too fast or the person gets overwhelmed and stops feeling pain. You want a shot, time to recover and feel pain and then shoot again.

I'd shoot him dead, and complain about welfare while doing it!

Really I am that conservative...

I think you need to get out and have some new interests, Aklim. You're starting to freak me out!

As long as we are not enemies, I won't take delight in your suffering. I had a guy I didn't like. You know how fond I am of getting laid. I passed up getting laid that night to watch him suffer a migraine. I even turned on the lights just so he wouldn't fall. (Wife had migraines so I know what hurts them and what helps). Kept his expensive glasses for him. Somehow it got lost and we spent an hour looking for it.

Not true. Lube causes less pain than without lube. Us "large" guys know that.

Yeah, I remember that story . . . You didn't shoot him in the leg, did you?
