And you believe theyre hell bent on killing. SMFH


Never said they were. Just said that clearly they are already not behaving in a rational manner, which is why it would be foolish to just expect them to be rational. Burglarizing a home already shows that they are very irrational, so why would you gamble the lives on yourself and your family on their rationality?

I wouldn't say that I have a problem, just seems like the appeal really isn't there and so this will fail to catch on.

That's how the truth works.


Why is it the truth though? What backing do you have to that statement? All it sounds like is a misguided opinion on your part.

Oh you're trolling. Didn't realize it after the first post.


I'm not, you just literally have done nothing except say "People who think this are crazy!" while providing nothing to back that statement.

Anybody who thinks they need an assault weapon for that reason is clearly batshit insane.

if the govt wants you dead you're dead, guns or no.


This is true, but typically tyrants want to control people, not just exterminate them. Ruling over a ruined wasteland of corpses isn't something regimes usually strive for.

Because only somebody who's paranoid and enjoys wearing tin foil hats would say something like that.


I'm not sure I understand. Is the thought that a government could become tyrannical some sort of tinfoil hat conspiracy?

Golly, I wonder if there could be any other reason that handguns cause the most gun deaths.


I know why handguns cause more deaths, but to act like handgun wounds are "very survivable" is silly.

Sure, don't trust the actual medical professional whose job requires him to see multiple internal injuries and just keep going with your gut feeling. That seems like the rational course of action.


No less rational than taking an article written by someone with an obvious extreme anti-gun slant as the gospel truth.

And really, to call handgun wounds "pretty survivable" when handguns cause the most gun deaths is kinda silly.

They just want to get in, get the stuff and get out as fast as possible, and do it quietly. A gunshot would wake the whole neighborhood and draw unwanted attention to themselves.


Again, you place a lot of faith in the ability of a burglar to act rationally when they are in the process of doing something completely irrational. These are not master criminals, they are low level thugs, often on drugs, prone to panicking. The term burglarly/robbery-gone-wrong exists for a reason.

No, they arent. At least not all of them. They just want your stuff. They know that if/when they get caught, theyre already looking at a minimum of 15-20 years for armed robbery. They dont want the death penalty or life without parole added to it.


You sure do place an awful lot of faith in the rationality of a person who has no qualms about breaking into your house and using force to take your possessions. Criminals are widely renowned for their abilities to assess situations, act rationally and properly consider the pros and cons before acting. That's why they do things like risk years in prison for amounts of money typically under 1 grand.

my cat lulu is an all black cat.


Ebby was a black cat as well, coincidentally.

if i was there to watch idk what would happen, i know i wouldn't react well.


I sobbed the whole time it was happening, which might sound awkward, but veterinary staff is very accustomed to that. I know I would have sorely regretted it if I hadn't been there for his final moments. He was my friend and I owed it to him to be there. I really strongly encourage you to be there, hard as it may be. She will be alone and scared, especially without you, and that's no way to let your friend go. I don't judge either way, I just would feel so guilty if I weren't there for my pet at that time.

i'm really sorry i had you revisit it


Don't feel sorry at all. Not only is it cathartic to grieve over my pet, it makes me happy to know that i had a cat that was so good that I can always fondly remember him. He'll always be with me in that regard. Best of luck to you.

My cat, Ebby, had a stroke about 2 years ago and I had to put him down. It was really tough due to how sudden it was and because he was my buddy, meaning that despite belonging to my wife and I, he clearly preferred me. We even had a nighttime routine because he didn't care much for cuddles during the day. Even now, it hurts to think about but I do take solace knowing that I did the right thing and prevented him from prolonged suffering before his death. It's really hard, but I consider it one the ultimate acts of love for your pet. You are essentially choosing to suffer a great, lingering pain yourself to spare your animal from suffering.

My personal advice: Schedule the appointment to have it done, then give her a good day when the time comes. Prepare a food she likes, like baked chicken or something similar. Feed her, pet her, cuddle her, then take her in to have it done. Most importantly, be there with her when she goes so that she'll be as comfortable as possible, because she'll probably be scared without you. Then give yourself some days to grieve and recompose yourself afterwards, because losing a close pet is very intimate and is essentially like losing part of yourself. That's what it felt like for me, at least.

Personally, I went and adopted another cat about a month afterwards, which really helped me move past the sorrow I felt when I had to put Ebby down. That's not to say that I don't miss him, because typing this post choked me up and I actually had to take a break to stop myself from really crying, but I think it's important to remember that there are a lot of animals out there that need good homes and it makes me feel better to know that the new cat will always have a good home.

Sorry for the long post and sorry for your bad news.
