If I was attacking you with what is clearly an intent to kill you and you have no clear means of retreat, you wouldn't use whatever means necessary to stop me as quickly as possible?According to the law of the jungle, indeed....
It's easy to take the high road when you're single with no children. No parent worth their salt would just let a home invader kill their kids.According to the law of the jungle, indeed....
I generally don't disagree. I do think that when you have a hammer, everything is a nail. Personally, I think that guns being kept for day to day protection just exacerbates problems and end up getting used willy nilly. I don't think I would ever even own a gun with the intent of just protecting my home - too much of a risk of it being used for the wrong purpose, and, should there be an intruder, I'd be better off with a bat and just making my presence known.Give people guns and they will shoot and kill.
You pray for mercy but don't think it's necessary to have it yourself.It's easy to take the high road when you're single with no children. No parent worth their salt would just let a home invader kill their kids.
Oh no, no, no, no. We should allow anyone to take all that we have and do anything they want to us, and our friends, our family, or any stranger. Never resist, never prohibit anyone from doing any wrong.It's easy to take the high road when you're single with no children. No parent worth their salt would just let a home invader kill their kids.
I didn't use the word "every".I generally don't disagree. I do think that when you have a hammer, everything is a nail.
Nobody said that.Oh no, no, no, no. We should allow anyone to take all that we have and do anything they want to us, and our friends, our family, or any stranger.
O okay, i didn't know that expression, sorry.Now you're being pedantic. "If you have a hammer, everything is a nail" is just an expression, and I was pretty much agreeing with you on a particular point.
You pray for mercy but don't think it's necessary to have it yourself.
I know though, if i had a gun, and i had a burglar in my house...
It's like speeding, because my car can go 150mph but it's illegal...
Oh no, no, no, no. We should allow anyone to take all that we have and do anything they want to us, and our friends, our family, or any stranger. Never resist, never prohibit anyone from doing any wrong.

You can understand how i as a European shake my head about the lack of gun control / the legality of using a gun by citizens.
Nobody needs a gun
The person who died is a victim but not because the homeowner made them a victim. They are the victim of their own poor choice. They May also be the victim of poor parental guidance. They may also be the victim of poor social circumstances.And the one that died isn't?
Are you sane?
Equalizer?to flat out suggest that we need to deny everyone access to the most effective equalizer on the planet is an overreaction.
Well, he's a dead victim now...The person who died is a victim but not because the homeowner made them a victim. They are the victim of their own poor choice. They May also be the victim of poor parental guidance. They may also be the victim of poor social circumstances.
Too proud to beg for a job, chores at the neighbors whatever, but not too proud to steal from his neighbor? There is something wrong with this picture.Well, he's a dead victim now...
He deserves to be shot dead?Too proud to beg for a job, chores at the neighbors whatever, but not too proud to steal from his neighbor? There is something wrong with this picture.
I didn't say that. I've already posted my view on that.He deserves to be shot dead?
