Really? Is that what they say?

Who's the liar here? Name one thing in my post about toddlers and guns that is untrue. What do falling televisions have to do with anything?

You know in other countries it's actually possible to solve these situations by not killing people.

While I don't miss the criminal, I am disturbed by the "yeah, he killed one!" mindset here.

Nobody should WANT to kill. Nobody should be walking around going, "Man, I really hope someday I get to kill some thug or robber!"

Now, don't get me wrong - I support the death penalty in appropriate cases, and I'm perfectly fine with "blowing away" some thug who deserve it - but there's an attitude I see over and over again in this nation where people WANT to someday "blow away a bad guy." That is not healthy, though it's not surprising given this nation's culture of violence, excessive mental health issues, and gun-fetishes.

Also, note that if the purpose of this thread was prove how we all need to own whatever gun we want, I will say here what I've said on so many other threads like that in the past weeks. Thugs are not immune to revolver rounds or shotgun shells. This incident does not "prove" one needs a weapon like an AR-15, AK-47, etc. If you live in a place where nothing less will harm the local thugs, move to someplace without bullet-proof mutants.

Yeah, but that's what makes them "leftist hell-holes," with higher standards of living, better healthcare, more affordable college, and less violence. They'll never know the simple joy of shooting somebody, I guess.

Yep. It's been proven that in nearly all cases, having a gun in the house makes it less safe. And yet people aren't interested in the facts, sadly. Heck, most of them still think we need near-military grade weapons for "self-defense" from the thugs who apparently heal so fast that a simple revolver can't injury them faster than they heal!

I'm not talking about Russia. I'm talking about Canada, the UK, Australia and most of Europe.

I know you have Russia on the brain.

I agree. He should have bought the carjacker some coffee and discussed his intentions.
