I'm pretty sure most criminals don't murder the occupants of the house when caught inside.

Don't let that fact stop you from exaggerating and trying to scare people about the risk of crime.
Most...is a very broad statement....many do, depends on where you live.

Yes well "many" was very broad as well.

My point is can't you gun worshipers present your case without lying and exaggerating?

The title of this thread is bogus.

As the title of this thread, implies.

It's so important to scare the lemmings silly, so you can sell them something, or get away with something.

Pointing out a simple truth is just a big drag on their rhetoric.

And I also love how you have an undifferentiated point of view of death. I'd rather die in a myriad of ways rather than how some of those home invasions turn out. Its why we do not allow cruel and unusual punishment. I don't want to play scratch lotto on my *ss where I can win my family being raped for a week before someone pumps bug spray or house cleaners down their throats. Yeah, its all da same ta you.

The thread title maybe bogus, but is the information provided? Care to talk about that?

I have a gun in my closet right at this moment.

Thing is....

.I don't think about it much.

I don't get an ego boost from owning it.

I don't think I'm a tough guy because of it.

I don't fear the World outside, and worry about "brown people" taking over.....LOL

I don't pretend if I scared off "break in" in my house....I saved my life!


Drama Queens!........LOL

The constant preoccupation with talking about guns, pretending there is some serious effort to take your gun away, the conspiracy theories, how your rhetoric dove tails with anti-immigrant, and nationalistic rhetoric.

Don't play coy.

I can spot gun nuts from a mile off. Very similar to foolish Tea Party attendees.
