I remember a line from Legion (yes, it was a terrible movie), but one line where one guy asked another why he had a gun and he said for protection. And then the other guy asked "Protection against what?"...That is the stupidest liberal gun question I have ever heard.

I don't think that was a "liberal gun question". What he was really trying to get at is who Tyrese Gibson's character was...a "gangsta" who needed protection from other thugs in his "hood". I don't think it was meant to be political.

Sure, the guy does have the look that he used to be a gangsta, but the question itself "Protection from what?" That question is always asked by people who thinks guns don't belong in civilian hands. They ask why need a gun?

Those people think that law enforcement works like I dream of Jeannie where you blink your eyes and the police are there to protect and serve. When in fact, they show up 20min after you already bled out. I on the other hand protect myself and use law enforcement for clean-up.

Nobody who has ever killed anybody in self defense talks like this.

What? the part about thinking the police can actually protect you or the part about a person prtecting themselves (kill or be killed) and then calling the police to handle the paper work and everything else that goes with a dead body.

He was referring to you talking like this

So is using the term clean-up disrespectful to the criminal breaking into homes to steal, murder, and rape...or is it simply saying that police are only good for janitor work.

It shows you give no gravity to the implications of taking human life and is disrespectful to the status and duties of law enforcement. Real life isn't like Dirty Harry or Death Wish, you can't just blast away somebody who threatens you, have the cops mop it up with Lysol, and then get on with your life all within the hour.
