I forgot to mention the assault rifles and power generator too!

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.

Yeah cause that shit never happens right? I don't own a gun or plan to but it always cracks me up when you Liberals live in a fantasy world where nothing bad ever happens. Have you ever been in a bad neighborhood in your life? Have you even been within a few blocks of a shooting?

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?

Indeed I have, and I am aware bad shit happens. That doesn't mean I am going to sit around wasting my time thinking about how I could die at any moment. When you get into a car do you sit there and fret about a drunk driver slamming you? Am I going to blast someone for taking my TV? If someone wants to put a bullet in me aim for the head please. Live your damn life without shit in your pants.

So owning a gun for self-defense means you sit around thinking about dying all day?

Plus most homicides are done by people you know fairly well, not some random ass off the street. And to be honest I don't much care to kill someone over my possessions, disappointed as I'd be about losing certain things that are irreplaceable.

Owning a gun for self-defense to me indicates you have at least thought enough about someone breaking and doing bad things to you to justify spending a few hundred minimum, which would require a level of fear greater than is really needed, for a scenario that usually does not play out the way people envision.

So you would only defend yourself if it was someone you didn't know trying to kill you?

Contrary to what many Americans believe, police don't exist to keep us safe. They exist to enforce laws by bringing the people that break them to justice and to serve as a general deterrent. It is up to us as individuals to keep ourselves safe and make the decisions about how we are going to do that.

You live in a nation that since its inception has held that the ability to own guns is a critically important right. If you don't believe in owning guns, don't own one. That is your only option.

If you don't think about real life scenarios that just makes you ignorant. Why do you put your seat belt on when you get into a car you paranoid fuck?!
