Ontopic The Shooting Thread
- Thread starter Mr. Argumentor
- Start date
There was a unknown man at the door with a mask on.
I didn't shoot, but I was glad I had the option if things escalated.
What would you do to protect yourself and family if this scenario escalated?

Ah yes, the lone wolf rides again.
My premise is based on facts and figures, rather than an inflated sense of manhood bolstered by the gun you keep as a replacement for your wiener.

I'd vacate the premises.
Of course, I also keep the cars in the garage, so I don't have to dare the world to get into the car.
not open the door, and ignore the clown. This is not The Purge.

You're projecting. Jeh: Let's ignore the balance of people that can protect themselves with guns against the crime commiting 'someone elses' and that it actually keeps the 'someone elses' to a minimum. Instead let's pretend the decreasing use for guns fired = no use for guns at all and claim anyone that disagrees with the faulty premise shameful.
This logic is like shaming people for having kitchens because food is a phonecall away so someone else 'more qualified' can provide it.
I think you pretending gun ownership is a replacement their wiener just gives you hope you have something to compare to.
By escalated, I mean if the dude broke in and if he had a weapon... you're going to wish you could fight fire with fire.
This story is almost 20 years old......still hasn't happened.

Any type of wireless microchip/computerized/RFID type anything can be hacked by people smarter than me. The rest of us would just kill the guy and take his wristband or microchip gun key or whatever device is needed to make it work.
Or just steal it and set him up for the murder.
Or just use one of the 300 million non-smartguns we already have.
She may have thought so was going to but the fear and reality of the situation proved otherwise.

Let's ignore the facts then (gun violence increases with gun ownership, crime does not vary with respect to gun ownership), and just argue based on your feewings.You're projecting.

If Candy and nuts were involved, we might not have a merry christmas but we're in for a hell of a show at the strip club
This actually might be more effective than legislation. Shame it like they did cigarettes. And/or promote non-ownership like how "green" has become nothing more than a marketing buzzword.
