Soviet_Poland 02/17/18 3:08:07 PM #23:	I used to ride a motorcycle for 3 years. I never got hurt. So, motorcycles must be perfectly safe. Right? Issues are complex precisely because there seems to be seemingly contradictory truths. They can be both safe and dangerous, so which is it? I like to use a poker analogy. You can have pocket aces and still lose a hand. You can have 2-7 offsuit and still win a hand. Is it good to play 2-7 offsuit? Is it ever good to fold pocket aces? It depends on the case, and people suffer a bad outcome with the "right" choice and vice versa. The whole issue is whether or not a change would affect outcome overall. I'm not vying for any side, because I don't know the answer to that question and I'm not going to bullshit and pretend like I do. I reevaluate my stance on this issue a lot, and have had a lot of back and forth. So no conclusion yet. But really annoys me when people are disingenuous with the arguments on either side. --- "He has two neurons held together by a spirochete." <cite>Soviet_Poland posted [p:896263962] in I've owned...

RickyTheBAWSE posted... what situation were you in that your AR-15 was needed to make you feel safe, TC? It's the peace of mind that I have the means to defend my life against bad guys. I don't want to get into a knife fight. I don't want to beg a bad guy not to hurt me. If someone breaks into my home, they're getting two rounds into the chest and that's the last home they'll ever break into. you can get that with a handgun and shotgun. it's not like you're combating an armed militia, and you're definitely not going to even attempt to overthrow a tyrannical government... so for home protection, an AR seems like a waste outside of cool points. The AR is perfect for home defense. Less recoil and lighter than a shotgun along with a higher round count and you get the benefit of aiming down the sights versus the shorter sight radius of a handgun. I It is not a waste nor for cool points. Also, the things that you mentioned, which would very important for a firearm in a home defense scenario where you might have to face more than one armed attacker, are not really going to make any difference in a school a shooting situation where someone has essentially free reign to gun down unarmed targets until the cops/SWAT arrive.
