"Cell phone with a predialed 911 at your bedside might be better protection than a gun" (legal, death)

[All American NYC]

Retired Supreme Court Justice John Paul Stevens, speaking at an event hosted by the Brady Center to Prevent Gun Violence’s Legal Action Project, said Monday said that having “some kind of constitutional right to a cell phone with a predialed 911 at your bedside might be better protection than a gun.”.....Instead of relying on the 2nd Amendment and dealing with gun laws, wouldn’t it be more rational to rely directly on the right we all have to self-defense. What are your thoughts on that?’

Put him in a house alone with nothing but a cell phone and a gun by his bed, let and intruder in, and see which he grabs first.

It takes a good 5-10 minutes for the police to even get to the average 911 call.

It takes a good .5-.10 seconds for a bullet to rip through a intruder.

I'll take the gun, thank you very much.

LOL! Depending where you are at, the cops/sheriff dept wouldn't get to you for 30 minutes. I'll take the gun.

I live where there's seldom a reliable cell phone signal. Guess what I'm going for first?

45 cal glaser between the horns, then dial 911.

Yup, the police most always arrive after the rape, after the burglary, after the murder.

I have both a cell phone and a gun by the bed. Dial then aim, unless someone is actually in the room, then reverse that.

We not only need guns for protection against burglars and intruders, but from our own government.

Shooting a scumbag is a lot more fun.
