[QUOTE=Burque-IL;43065173]But when you DO need it, you'd damn well better hope you have it. Think of it as life insurance. Home invasions are a realistic event. They happen everyday. Preparing for them is just as realistic as the event itself. I'm just curious, because me and the other poster's anecdotes are so 'rare' (you can't really call it rare when it is literally an everyday occurrence on this planet), do you believe that we should be disarmed of any and all firearms despite the fact that we've never committed a crime with said firearms?[/QUOTE] Yes, I do. My logic being that criminals purchase guns because they need to protect themselves when they're robbing somewhere. If they have no reason to assume that the owner of the house they're robbing has a gun, they're not going to buy a gun. If criminals don't have guns, and homeowners don't have guns, less people die. Less people dying is good. Period. [editline]4th December 2013[/editline] Also, 65 people are hit by lightning every day. Do you prepare yourself against that too? Lots of things are every day occurrences, that doesn't justify paranoia by itself.

Why doesn't outright gun control work in my hometown of Chicago, IL? Being a victim is preventable. Lightning isn't.
[QUOTE=Burque-IL;43065204]Logic fail. Criminals will ALWAYS have guns. Why doesn't outright gun control work in my hometown of Chicago, IL? Being a victim is preventable. Lightning isn't.[/QUOTE] Chicago has a massive gun problem because it's so easy to take guns into the city from outside. If the restrictions on Chicago were extended nationwide, criminals would have to import guns over nation borders, which will drive up prices. If prices go up, it becomes harder for petty criminals to afford guns. Yes, it is impossible to eradicate guns, and I'd never argue otherwise, but you can get them out of the hand of the majority of criminals.
[QUOTE=Burque-IL;43064921]Oh damn you got me.. Congrats for exposing that all gun owners don't actually care about defending themselves, they just like to insert their genitalia into the chambers of their weapons repeatedly.[/QUOTE] Would you kindly insert the barrel of said firearm into your oral orifice and pull the trigger? Don't forget to load and chamber a round first.
[QUOTE=Burque-IL;43064887]We need more gun control![/QUOTE] It just says she got "stabbed" and nothing more. The guy could have done that with anything, even with stuff you wouldn't call a "gun" in the first place. [editline]4th December 2013[/editline] If it even was that guy

It might look better for you and your anti-gun buddies if you don't encourage people to commit suicide just because they have an opposing opinion.

[editline]4th December 2013[/editline] [QUOTE=Sgt-NiallR;43065217] Yes, it is impossible to eradicate guns[/QUOTE] The prosecution rests. [editline]4th December 2013[/editline] [QUOTE=Sgt-NiallR;43065191]If criminals don't have guns, and homeowners don't have guns, less people die..[/QUOTE] How is neither a single criminal nor homeowner going to own a gun if you yourself just stated that guns will never be completely eradicated? I personally would never give up a single firearm just because some libtards made guns illegal to own. You're not going to tell me how to live and you're DEFINITELY not going to confiscate what's mine. Millions of other Americans hold the exact same standpoint that I do and are willing to die for their beliefs. So right there, your little proposed ban would never work because neither criminals nor homeowners will comply with such bullshit.

[QUOTE=Blind Lulu;43065317]I get he's being a giant butt and stirring up shit but I don't think this was very necessary.[/QUOTE] That been said, I do apologize to everyone for stirring a firearms debate on a RIP thread. Dick move on my part guys.
Congrats, another thread derailed into a gun debate.
Yeah that's totally my bad.
Not really spooky, woman sounds like an idiot.
[QUOTE=Awesomecaek;43065049]If she had a pepper spray and/or tazer and the proper training for using them, she would be just as safe, if not safer, than if she used a gun. Fuck off. (And I am not saying it's her fault that she wasn't ready to defend her life from a despicable human being, I am just saying the pro-gun argument entirely fails).[/QUOTE] Not advocating anything here but, If people begin using pepper spray regularly, robbers and murderers will as well. + they will be using gas masks since they know the victim will probably have a pepper spray, rendering it useless.
[QUOTE=Black;43065684]Not advocating anything here but, If people begin using pepper spray regularly, robbers and murderers will as well. + they will be using gas masks since they know the victim will probably have a pepper spray, rendering it useless.[/QUOTE] A simple tazer is enough. I dont think the robbers or murders know how to defend against 10.000 V
[QUOTE=opti2000;43065719]A simple tazer is enough. I dont think the robbers or murders know how to defend against 10.000 V[/QUOTE] Which runs the risk of robbers carrying tazers. No matter what people carry, criminals will always find a way to neutralise it.
