He would know all of this if he were actually a gun-owner.

Where is the fear in wanting the means of lawful defense?

Prove me wrong disregard the troll, prove me wrong and prove to me you're genuinely concerned for the safety of kids and citizens.

Prove to me you will stop standing on the bodies of the deceased as statistics to push for your will of curtailing rights to fit your agenda in breeding weak feeble victims repaint on government dependency to handle an attack or heinous vile scumbag regardless of their motive.

You can start by reflecting on what doesn't work. That is gun free zones.
When seconds matter, help is minutes away.

I'm convinced you're not genuinely concerned in preventing, stopping, or deterring these incidents by endorsing for the revocation of a constitutionally protected right to keep and bear arms for all lawful purposes.

I'm convinced your side of the aisle is thrilled when these events occur to fear monger and push to attack our rights and the rights of future generations.

Blood is on your hands. Not ours. We want the ability of lawful defense. We want the ability to act with impunity on behalf of ourselves, our communities, and the ability for teachers or school appointed faculty to identify and eliminate the hostile threat the moment it arises.
Not huddle in the corner of a class room to become fish in a barrel. Nor be in fear.

Look at actual numbers. The number of murders by home invasion is a very insignificant amount.

Stop living in fear. You're significantly more likely to die in a car accident than by a home invasion.
I live in a rural town of 8,000. There have been 4 home invasions here since November. They do happen.

Actually, the fear I was referring to was the fear of "Obama breaking into my house and taking all of my guns away" I apparently have a lot more faith in both the Constitution and the SCOTUS than you.

Hallucinations are not a good sign.

It's like wearing a parachute while flying aerobatics, better to have it and not need it than need it and not have it.
It's statistics. Say 100 people are murdered in a home invasion every year. You have a 1:3,000,000 chance. I'll bet that a lot of those are concentrated in higher risk areas too, so say only 1/3 of those are in "good" areas.... that leaves you with a 1:9,000,000 chance (or 0.00001% chance) A car accident though, you've got a 0.01% chance.

Again, living in fear for such a small number is pretty damn stupid.

Then, why are you stalking a teacher? As a boyfriend to a middle school teacher, I would have called the cops on you and potentially had a restraining order placed as that could be seen as a passive threat.

And .... you have less than 1/10th of 1% chance of dying in a mass shooting.

None, all were frightened away by armed homeowners.
