Who cares at this point
Guns should be allowed because it's a freedom.
We all like freedoms right?

But if it did, you would not be prepared. It's your choice, though.
[QUOTE=DrMortician;17485977]All my guns have a round in the chamber.
What difference does that make if you aren't pointing it at people and pulling the trigger? None.

So is a stick. Anything can be a weapon.[/QUOTE]
Yes but a stick wasn't designed with the intention of killing someone
How do you not get this?

My kimber was designed with the intention of winning pistol competitions, not killing people.

I'd imagine that a burglar for example would be more likely to kill me in my sleep if he knew I had a gun

Thing is, they don't. And if they don't know the dangerous ones, they are less likely to steal. If they know no one is a threat, they'll be more likely to burgle.

I dunno much about sword laws, I didn't think people could have sharp swords I thought only blunt display ones were allowed

Owning a firearm of any sort automatically makes you a bloodthirsty redneck, didn't you know?

Why would he risk getting killed to break into your house?
[QUOTE=protoAuthor;17486056]Thing is, they don't.[/QUOTE]
In fact they rarely kill anyone at all
They come to steal not kill
Which is why you don't need a gun

Anyone can have a sword last time I checked.

Why do you need a gun? Why do you need anything hobby related or fun?
We still do because there's a 50/50 chance the person is unarmed. And usually they aren't going to intentionally break in to come face to face with the home's owner.
A Gun is an object
You're the one with the Intention to hurt, harm or kill.

Enjoy a long stay in jail.
You're outside of legal reasoning and going into vigilantism.
Anyone who says anything like this should be federally bared from ever owning a firearm.

Might as well unlock your door and give all your stuff away for free.
Heck, you should make your house a public building.
Most thieves are gonna do a runner on being discovered anyway

an American legal concept arising from English Common Law[1] that designates one's place of residence (or, in some states, any place legally occupied, such as one's car or place of work) as a place in which one enjoys protection from illegal trespassing and violent attack. [B]It then goes on to give a person the legal right to use deadly force to defend that place[/B]

Actually, even in CA, if someone is breaking into your house, you are legally allowed to shoot him. Called the Castle Doctrine if I'm correct.

You don't understand the law.
If someone is walking/running away with your belongings and you shoot them, you've just committed murder.
Beyond that, even if it is deemed legal, shooting an unarmed person who doesn't pose a threat to you is fucking ridiculous.
