Yes.
You are not a trained professional.
You should call 911 and watch your house burn.
LMAO. Sure, if you accidentally start a small fire in your kitchen, just know you're not qualified to use your fire extinguisher. You have to wait 10-20 minutes for the professionals to arrive. In the meantime if your house burns down, too bad. We can't have unqualified people using fire extinguishers.
How would anyone hunt? Would they just criticize the deer and call it names, until it got depressed and committed suicide?
Sheesh … !!!
Everybody knows that a baseball bat or a sharp pointed knitting needle -- or a kitchen knife -- can be as deadly as a gun …
(That's why I recently joined the newly formed "National Baseball Bat Association," which is utterly dedicated to further and preserve your and my RIGHT to "keep and bear" baseball bats …)
If you're sitting outside & some random person walks by, turns & shoots you & your friends in the head, having a gun on you isn't going to help you. If you're at a museum & a bomb detonates & incinerates you & everyone else inside, having a gun on you isn't going to help you.
Agreed. And if someone at the Bataclan Theater in Paris had been carrying a gun, and he happened to have been the first one shot, having the gun would not have helped him either.
But what if the gun carrier was not the first one shot? What if someone in that crowd had been armed, and was not hit first? He could have, possibly, returned fire; and maybe, just maybe, stopped the terrorists before they killed more innocent people.
Yes, it's also possible that he would have missed, and the terrorists would have concentrated their fire on him, and he would have been killed and the attack would have continued as it did IRL. But would this have been any worse than what actually transpired?
In other words, if someone in that theater had been armed, the worst-case scenario is no worse than what actually did happen. But the best-case scenario is that many lives could have been saved.
