So you own guns because you're a fearful beta. I mean I always knew that was the case, but I genuinely appreciate your candidness

Haha, excellent response.

Yeah I guess if you live in a fantasy world where home invasions never happen, you might not feel the need to own a firearm.

The fact is there is literally nothing you can do to stop these things from happening completely. Even if guns didn't exist, the dude could just mow a bunch of people down with a car (like what happened in that christmas parade last year which was totally buried by the media cause it wasn't politically useful). Or what happened in France a few years ago with that truck attack. Like 80 people died, no guns at all! Well except the guns the cops used to stop him.

The unique fixation on omg guns makes no sense and is a symptom of people's emotions being cynically manipulated. What inevitably stops these shootings, ultimately, is another person with a gun whether that is law enforcement or, as is often the case, a private citizen utilizing their second amendment right to self defense (those stories tend not to be plastered all over the news for weeks too, because again they are really politically inconvenient).

I've never heard of a car being used as the weapon in a home invasion.

Source?

Whats the population of denmark VS the us? Hint: Extremely rare events happen more often as population increases, but that doesn't change the fact they are extremely rare events. Also what should you do in denmark if 3 people break into your house to rob you and kill your family in the middle of the night? Just hope that they don't murder you while you're reloading your 2 round pea shooter in the dark while panicked?

Same bad arguments come up every time this happens cause people are understandably emotionally primed for somebody to DOOOO SOMETHINGGGGG but every single suggestion is terrible.
what are your suggestions then genius

Pistols are better for home defense. (Except when it's bears.)

Nah. Shotgun or AR.

If the people breaking in have pistols, I'd like to have an AR.

Shotgun = less aim needed and can hit multiple attackers.

Hehe, Azeth is a fearful beta projecting on others. Owning a gun isn't about being afraid, it's about being prepared. It's like saying owning insurance or carrying a spare tire means you're scared to drive or live.

Enjoy getting stuck on the side of the road or getting sued into the ground w/o insurance. "It will never happen to me." Sure, buddy.

no i want to hear the plans the conservatives have to reduce gun violence. not criticism of others suggestions. i want to know what they are going to do about it. in the immediate sense, not copouts like "more fathers in the home" or some thinly veiled racism.

tangible plans, conservatives. go. suggest.

No law will stop this. We have too big a gun fetish in this country and a mental illness + social media problem that makes these wackjobs think a mass shooting is something they should do.

This is not a normal person. This is supposedly his mugshot. That expression after an arrest for a mass shooting. Those eyes. This person is defective.

This country is in a decline and it's going fast. I used to think I'd be dead before I saw the worst of, now I'm not so sure.
