i like accuracy.
If an intruder has entered your home then you should absolutely be able to defend yourself. If they are in your yard or on your porch.....then no.

How is someone a threat outside of your home that you need to shoot them. Why is it that people who own guns are so scared of basically everything, while those that don't own guns just go about their business and could care less

You honestly cannot see HOW someone could be a threat just because they aren't in your home? Just so you know, 99% of homes will provide marginal, at best, protection against a rifle round, thus a perp could easily pepper your home with a rifle and put you in danger. Some people may be content to hide and hope nothing happens before the police arrive, but others may prefer a more proactive solution, aka self defense.

Also, it's not gun owners who are afraid of everything, they are literally the target of constant attacks from anti-gun nutcases. It is also those anti-gun nutcases who truly are afraid of an inanimate object. Then again, it's easier to ban guns, stick their heads in the sand, and proclaim "job well done," rather than truly addressing the issues which cause violent behavior. (Hint: it's not guns)

This is true. People in power don't like the idea of a perfectly accurate 1000 meter sniper rifle. If pure right wing radical tea party conservatives were in power, they would like it just as little as any other person in power. It's not about liberals. It's about the fact that super accuracy from very long range is impossible to defend against. How much is too much?
How's Gunlover doing these days?

Riots with Moltov Coccktails..

We are not scare of anything, we just understand the world is a unsafe and unpredictable place and understand the threats we face and might face.

Its because they live with a world of self imposed ignorance and denial...

Sorry, I am not as paranoid as you. If they are not inside my home then why would I shoot them.

It is very possible to defend against....Never go outside, hide behind armed guards and wait to be taken down by your own men and nation...

OR

Obey the Constitution and do not become a tyrant...

Their choice.

"How much is too much"..Easy it never was, is or every will be "too much" freedom, liberty or choice ever..And those that say such lies are people hell bent on ruling and subjection of the American people if not all of humanity.

Who is this Gunlover everyone keeps calling me?

We are not paranoid.

How are we paranoid for stating a basic fact, rifle rounds can and will over penetrate a house..That is not paranoid that is a fact and your calling it name does not change it.

So if they are outside of your house shooting into it, trying to kill you, you would not defend yourself?

If they are outside of your house setting fire to it, you would not stop them with force?


Please keep going on.

I find that deliciously ironic. I'm not throwing you under the bus. You're doing a fine job of it all by yourself. The game laws, here, are made through public input. Which means, by default, they don't quite see eyeball to eyeball with you.

You don't have the 'right' to do whatever you wish, whenever you want. There is a reasonable expectation of majority rule. If you don't like our game laws- don't hunt here. It's really quite that simple.
