Flowers For Algeria posted:I'm just saying that if you don't want to turn from a gun owner into a gun owned, don't confront burglars in your home I want to maim a home invader, but have decided to use a spear. I own guns, but they don't give the same satisfaction as slowly applying pressure to keep the barely conscious home intruder pinned to the ground, so I just use the guns for target shooting.

to the gun owners in this thread: do you ever play dressup with your guns? do you ever put a dress on one gun and a suit on the other and then pretend that the two guns are getting married? do you ever make your guns kiss each other

Short and long-barreled guns cohabitating with one another is an abomination before Heston.

Effectronica posted:Burglars- avoid killing. Well yes, killing is worse than stealing, but fantasizing about killing isn't worse than stealing. I'm afraid I have to rule that robbers are still somewhat worse than gun owners.

If killing a man is a hell of a thing, where you take away everything he has and everything he will ever have, isn't burglary just killing a little piece of a man?

This is a safer course of action both for you and the robber, and that way you won't shoot your wife who is going up the stairs after taking a leak in the downstairs bathroom.

Even though wearing a seatbelt is overwhelmingly more likely to save your life than not wearing one, I'm very scared of getting trapped in and burning to death in my car, so I don't wear one, because I am incredibly stupid.

I to believe that people should be forced to take the course of action I have mathematically determined is optimal.

This is a gun fanboy deflection, and not to be taken seriously. They invoke self defense scenarios to explain why it is of vital import that guns not be restricted. Then they argue with great weeping against restrictions on suppressors, drum magazines, automatics, licenses, assault weapons, and maximum numbers of firearms - that is to say, things essentially irrelevant to any plausible self defense scenario, but very important to a certain small subset of toy obsessed sociopaths. Don't accept their scaremongering at face value

Not all of those things are currently irrelevant to current violent crime - licensing, registration, limits. For the rest, it is true that they are not currently major factors in crime - because those things are heavily regulated, a state of affairs that they hate and would end, given the chance.

Trip report: I loaded up my concealed weapon and made my way to Taco Bell so I could pick up a Quesarito Big Box so I could enter the golden PS4 contest. When I entered the restaurant, I calmly scanned the room to identify potential threats. There were a pack of urban youths in the back corner which immediately caught my attention. I shifted my weight to my left foot so I could more efficiently take aim if need be. I read somewhere that is what Delta Operators do so I knew I would be ready. The group of thugs looked up at me and recognized that I was in a position of power and they quickly returned to yelling about the NBA and rap. Anyway, I managed to order my Quesarito Big Box and I just wanted to let you know about my successful DGU. Cheers, folk! Stay frosty

Well it's either the part where, like any law-enforcement officer or self-defense specialist, I advise you that not engaging an unknown threat is the safest, most intelligent course of action, or the part where I remind you that planning on killing someone for a minor crime isn't the most moral solution in the presence of alternatives and you shouldn't be itching for burglar death because get this they've got human rights and you are not in any position to deny thrm. You've latched onto this post as some sort of gotcha but it's perfectly reasonable and true.

Just to pick on one example, suppressors are perfectly legal (and considered polite) in a number of first world countries. Why have the good people of New Zealand or Britain not suffered a huge wave of suppressor equipped criminals?

various cheeses posted:There's a reason people are cynical about police protection, FYI. I don't disagree, just curious on other countries' take on my question. A common argument for pro-gun ownership is that there is not enough time between an incident and police arrival to deter a criminal so personal action is necessary to stop them.
