Suppose you need a gun to protect your house. (state, gun owners)

[henrjam]

Why would you ever need something else than a shotgun.

You don't need a gun to protect your house. That's what the police are for, you know?

[PGKangrui]

Handguns are smaller and more convenient. I'm not really sure about the guns bigger than a shotgun.

What if they can't show up fast enough and someone with a gun is trying to break in?

I have four cans of Axe Body Spray in my bathroom. Just one spray will knock over anyone faster than any silly handgun ever could.

Right and criminals will disarm so long as the law abiding gun owners do so first

How often have you had this happen to you or to anyone you know? Guns do more harm than they do good. I hate guns

So hunting wouldn't be allowed in your police state either?

Wrong. The SCOTUS has ruled multiple times that the police have no duty to protect anyone.
