Victim disarmament zones

No, the implication of the statement is that someone you know is going be able to kill you without you being on lockdown in your house with your gun at your side. As I posted an article to, only a couple hundred deaths a year from guns are in self-defense, whereas thousands of homicides from aggressors are reported. I dont think lack of guns on the defense side is the reason for this.

I don't understand the point of having a gun for self-defense if you have to retrieve it from a safe, and I seriously question the practicality (and mental stability) of carrying it around at all times in your own house. Anyone want to fill me in here? Or is it just a little security blanket for paranoid people?

I think some people just want to play Fallout IRL.

Well luckily seat belts cost me nothing, are required by law, and prevent you from killing others in car crashes. A gun is meant for killing, whether it be in defense or not, whereas a seat belt is for preserving life. I hazard to guess that guns rarely prevent the taking of more life than life they take. So comparing seat belts to guns is a stupid angle to argue

All these people are super scurred someone is gonna come kill them, esp the chicago south side.

We are the #1 country for freedom when it comes to guns (why you hate freedom?), yet are the 12th for firearm related death, and 14th for homicide.

When you punish ME for the actions of OTHER people, you're def a dirty commie. When you try to subvert our glorious Bill of Rights with acts of congress and state laws instead of ratifying a new amendment (which would never happen), you're a lazy hippy. When you're scared of the astronomical odds of getting shot (0.00023% repeating ofc in a lifetime), you're a pussy. When you then vote to disarm yourself and become even more defenseless should you ever be backed into a corner, you're just a moran

The fact that people live with such an incredible amount of fear is hilarious to me. Like Sauron is amassing power in the shadows to eventually break into your house, rape your wife, and steal your TV. The unforeseen threat that is out there. The bomb that could go off at any second. The gang bangers that are going to empty your house. The Charlie Manson cult breaking in. You gun nuts are fuckin pussy paranoid psychos man. I laugh at all the people who think that the solution to crime is to GI Joe lockdown.

It gets so ridiculous sometimes, I have a friend's parents who have door jams so you can't kick in the door, a pistol that fires shot gun shells called a Judge among several other pistols, some of which have lazer grips, and enough ammo and food supplies to make it through the apocalypse that is right around the corner.

fuck you, G.I. Joe's rule!

So we need to ban Knives, Blunt Weapons, and Fists too? Those are used to kill people as much as guns are.

Chicago has some of the strictest gun controls laws in the country and the most amount of gun related crimes.
