Why does the thought of someone not leaving their lives in the hands of slow-acting government officials who have no legal obligation to protect them bother you so much? Come on, Rasmoh, I've argued with you before and I know you're not this dumb. The issue is not people using guns to defend themselves. No one is holding marches saying "Down with people lawfully owning guns and using them in a means within the law to defend themselves and their property!". If guns were only used in defence of the innocent, I suspect that everyone, or nearly everyone, would support them. The point is that guns frequently AREN'T used for lawful purposes. In fact, guns are used far, far more often for criminal means than for self-defence. That's the problem. The cost of having guns available as a tool of self defence does not justify what limited benefit they provide. Rasmoh posted... In fact, many of them face legal punishments for defending themselves or their property, which is so absurd that it's hard to believe it actually happened. I don't know of anywhere where defending yourself is illegal and I'd love to see your source on this proving it isn't just ignorant scaremongering. Rasmoh posted... Tasers are extremely unreliable. So are guns, really. Honestly, they're a terrible tool for self defence for several different reasons. Your wife is more likely to survive by running away than she is by pulling a gun. --- Kill 1 man: You are a murderer. Kill 10 men: You are a monster. Kill 100 men: You are a hero. Kill 10,000 men, you are a conqueror! ... Copied to Clipboard! |
