Why can't you understand "No!" means "NO!"

I'm sick to death of people coming to my house, ringing my doorbell, and asking for handouts or membership to one or the other affiliation. I don't care what damned organization it is they represent - the homeless shelter, the NAACP, the Catholic church, the Free the Ferrets cause - I don't care. I want no more menacing souls sauntering up to spew a spiel that at day's end, I'm too exhausted to even comprehend. Tonight, a "brother" came by, dressed in USC regalia, saying he was trying to work his way up the ladder of reform or some-such stuff. I didn't even listen. I only said "No." Well, "no" meant nothing to this guy. He came back again with the same diatribe. I mean...COME ON! I get spam through email and snail mail, I get it on the phone during dinner. Now this crap, especially now because it's XMAS. Ah! Pray that no Watchtower folk show up here. I might be in a throat-cutting mood.

To rectify this, sure, I'd get a "No Solicitors" sign, but the solicitors would ignore it (for various reasons such as: 1) "I didn't see the sign;" 2) "I don't know how to read;" 3) I don't know how to read English."

I'd get a big dog with a big bark. However, big dogs with big barks usually have big teeth, and thus ensues the lawsuit when big dog is protecting angry little homeowner.

Maybe I should get a big twelve-gauge pump which I'd chamber only for the sound effects. Yet, again, I foresee all sorts of legal haranguing occurring because of this action on my part.

I don't know the remedy, just the cause, which is my disgust and anger with these people.

OK, I'm done. Thank you for your attention.
