Take a bullet

I was watching a movie last night and during an assassination attempt on the US President a security guard jumped in front of him and took the bullet.

Have we ever had a leader in Ireland that you would consider taking a bullet for?

I'd take a bullet for my family and my good friends.

No.

There are quite a few I would happily fire a bullet at.

Taking the bullet might be the smart option. You'd die with your illusions intact.

At least you'd get it all over and done with in one fell swoop ... rather than slowly having the life drained out of you with government "policies" that seem destined to grind everyday people into tiny chunks of sausage-meat.

Mmmm ... sausages.

I don't think there is anyone apart from family members I'd take a bullet for.

If Paisley was killed it could lead to lots and lots of killing so that answer makes a lot of sense!

I'd have given Haughey a bullet if I had one since he seemed to give good money for them.
