No sir, I did not argue that that was the only alternative. And I'm sorry, but one example doesn't dispel the fact that thousands die every year from firearms in this country. Your one example helps them not one bit.
Seriously, know a lot of guys that would go by southbel?
Anyway, I more interested in putting the violent mentally ill in institutions where they belong. I am more interested in making sure that law abiding citizens are able to defend themselves, and I am more interested in maintaining our Constitutional rights. Oh and those thousands? Hmm, wonder how much that would drop if criminals knew the house they were about to rob had a gun owner in it? Ask Kennesaw, GA. They have a law that each mentally able adult must have a gun in the house. It helped their crime drop 89%. They have the lowest crime rate of any city that size.
if you have 4 people in your house coming after you and it might take 5 rounds to stop each that is 20 rounds right there. that gives you a cushion of missing 10 times.
Again, if you need 5 rounds per person along with an extra 10 because you miss 1/3 of the time, you are not a responsible gun owner and need to spend more time at the range learning to shoot safely prior to purchasing a gun for home defense.

I didn't say they were "never" used for hunting, I said they were not needed for hunting. When I hunted whitetail deer as a youngster in Michigan, the safety rules beaten into me were before pulling the trigger know what you're shooting and what's behind it, and also to only shoot when you have a clean kill shot. Getting off 30+ rounds in a matter of seconds before the hogs scatter means you're not taking the time to ensure you have a clean shot. Why not just throw sticks of dynamite?
In sufficent evidence is not evidence either way. It is simply insufficient evidence.
The Japanese have one of the lowest gun-related death rates in the world, and it is because they have some of the strictest gun and ammunition laws in the world. So don't tell me the laws can't work, because they do IF they are strict enough AND strictly enforced.
Sure, and I'll bet you'll be happy with the authoritarian laws,unlimited police powers etc that exist there. This suggestion has been raised and soundly defeated in the past, to be tossed out with the bad Sushi as it were.
You know what? If you had a magic wand, and could wave it and make every firearm in the country disappear, I might just be okay with that.
But if I had t*ts, I'd be a girl.
It's nothing more than an unachievable fantasy. The bad guy that might decide to start a firefight with me is still going to have his piece. And I'll be standing there holding my johnson. Maybe I should hit him with that?
Not me.
As a woman who lives alone......I would never feel safe without a gun in the house.
Criminals do not need a gun to overpower and kill me and the police would be minutes away when seconds count.
And yet the Japanese do just fine without 88 million guns. In fact, they have the one of the lowest gun-related death rates in the world, 0.3 murders per 100,000 (ours is 4.2), and are rated among the happiest people on the planet.
Why do these "happy" people have such a high suicide rate?
The Newtown Shooting had possible anti-Christ connotations.
If you will recall, or research for the first time, Revelation 13, it describes a second beast after the appearance of the anti-Christ. This beast will have a number of 666.
The results of the Newtown shooting include this: 6 adults were murdered at the school, the age of most of the child cictims was 6, and the attack took place on the 6th day of the week(Friday).
Coincidence?
We don't think so!
