Victim disarmament zones

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.

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

He's a mental midget. We really shouldn't encourage him.

I own four firearms (pistols x2, rifle, shotgun) all acquired at various states in my life after getting out of the Navy. It's a bit much, but I don't feel the need to purchase more or sell the ones I have.

Because Zombie Apocalypse, man. I've yet to see an argument that beats Zombie Apocalypse.

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.

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?!

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.
