#1 Pretty much any healthy young person can beat you up.

I'm 51 with a bum leg, and I'd kick this punk's ass from here to Worcester.

#2 One obvious solution is for the old and feeble to shoot the young punks as soon as they come within range. Twice.

#3 Guns Won’t Protect You, Old People, You’re Too Old And Weak

My dad turned 81 this last New Year's Day. He's starting to slow up a bit, and a mild form of Parkinson's doesn't do him any favors. On the other hand, I watched last summer as he took his cherished M14 and fired a perfect USMC qualifying score.

An old man with a gun, indeed.

#4 There is a story about an old man who was pushing his shopping cart out to his car when a punk came up to hassle him. The old man closed the distance grabbed the punks belt and shoved a serrated folder edge up against the punks belly and said, "I'm going to gut you like a chicken boy, any last words?"

#5 There is an old saying from the frontier days, "Don't pick a fight with an old man, he wont' fight you, he'll just kill you."

#6 Hey Raj, I'm 51 with a bum leg, and I'd kick this punk's ass from here to Worcester.

#8 On the contrary. I see young men all the time who are flabby, effeminate and feeble. They spend all their time playing video games and watching TV. The PE classes in high school are a joke. The kids are afraid to work up a sweat because there are no towels so they don't take showers afterwards.

Old guys rule.

#9 The original post ridicules elderly gun owners as irrational and yet offers no credible alternative. This is what the kids call 'Click-Bait'. Don't waste your time or bandwith.

#11 My old man at 81 with poor vision was visited by a young idiot that wanted to come up on the front porch that my father was sitting on and whoop his ass for calling the police on his loud music next door.

When the idiot put his foot on the first step, my father reached just inside the door and pulled out an AR-15 with a 30 round banana clip and announced, "I may not be able to see very well but I bet I can still hit you with at least one of these 30 rounds from 6 feet away."

Drama queen was back on his property in seconds.

#13 I think there was a report which came out stating an increase in purchases and training by the elders.

So our 26 year old undereducated virgin who likes to hold the hands of his wine mates and make them promises of trolling, he starts pounding his tiny fingers and quietly giggles to himself for his ironic photo of himself wearing a cheapo Darth Vader mask in a Wal-Mart.

#16 I'm 69 and admittedly not in great shape.

But I think I can take care of myself, with the help of my friends Mr. Smith and Mr. Wesson.

Of late, Mr. Ruger has befriended me too. :-D

So come on down, asshole.
