So your guns keep you safe?

[Andrew Jackson]

It's easy to generalize when you have a basic understanding of human psychology.

Let me pose this scenario: Johnny Crackhead with his revolver is looking for some dvd players to pawn. He sees Uncle Sam's compound with "Shoot on Sight" and "Beware of Rottweiler" signs right next door to Genny Gunnaphobe's house with a Brady campaign placard in the yard. Which house does Johnny break into for free loot and pussy?

Continually suffering from confirmation bias is not a basic understanding of human psychology.

To be honest it's not even human psychology, its basic animal instinct

AFAIK there is no statistical case that gun control works. Studies like this just show that people in dangerous areas correctly assess this and buy guns to protect themselves. And it doesn't always work.

What I want to see every time there is some sort of gun violence on TV is: did said person come from a broken home/was on/off antidepressants etc.

In any case, gun control laws in a nation with 300 million firearms already are pointless.

let me load my .50cal while that helicoptor shot up my house and that's gotta be a hellfire missile coming towards my house and it's the middle of the night and i didn't even hear the helicoptor's engines or rotors and now there's six inch holes all through my house's roof and my family was just exploded by the bullets and, yeah, that's a hellfire missile i'm fucked but i got to keep my guns to protect myself from a government take over

on what's left of my house?

[Ahldagor]

actually it wouldn't be a helicoptor, but a drone. they don't have to land since there's already been successful air to air refueling of drones. unless they need to add more missiles then i guess you could try to keep up with it in your vehicle through hostile territory. http://www.nbcnews.com/technology/fu...-air-1C6320770
