Do you own a gun?

TheDave said that the day this world was made

But he's a git who everybody ignores.

You know that better than anybody.

[Busyman]

how many times do i have to say it?

everyone else is right and you're just a paranoid loony

Mmmmmk. Since when did I agree with everyone else, especially (for the most part) folks that don't even live here.

We had a rash of young drivers crashing into shit so they changed the stipulations for youngsters getting a driver's license.

They need something similar by putting stipulations on gaining gun ownership since it is recognized by many as a problem.

just stop young people owning guns? yeah that'd work

kids would just get other people to buy their guns.





and no this isn't what you've been saying all along.
letting anybody have a gun means paranoid loonies like you will think you have to get a gun to defend yourselves, therefore robbers would rob anyway have to get a gun to defend themselves from you.

it's a vicious cycle but until someone gives up their guns, no one will

I'm not out here waving my gun at people you dick.

I simply own guns. Ownership doesn't make one part of any cycle.

It sounds like you are the one that's paranoid.
I'm as comfortable as can be.

i never said you waved it about in public, but simply having it in your house is enough to convince the burglar to get one.

and theres enough people who think like you that a burglar can just presume the home they're attacking has a gun.

First off I don't announce I have one, so how the fuck would he be convinced?

You talk of a vicious cycle yet unarmed folks getting shot is what I see.

I don't see these movie shoot-outs that you talk of unless it's drug related or police related. I also don't see these "Oh there was a burglar and he accidently shot his daughter" stories either.

You don't know shit from shinolah except how it is in your country and the "stats" from over here.

[GepperRankins]

as long as its common known that so many people have guns, one can presume somebody has a gun.

when was the last time you saw an unarmed person getting shot?

what? i'm not talking about movie style shootouts, i'm talking about a confrontation between armed homeowner and armed burglar in which one or both get shot.

"stats" are fact, so i can talk about them as much as i want.

Yes it does.

Stats don't equal conclusion though.

Hmmm...the last one....

An old lady in Hyattsville, MD was killed and her jewelry was taken. I know it was this year.

Further from than that, almost all the folks I hear about on the news are unarmed.

I can't remember an armed homeowner being killed.
I do remember a gentlemen in MD shooting and killing a fella trying to steal his car outside his home and injuring another.

He only got in trouble because his dumb ass had some other charge. It didn't even seem like the police were going to charge him for discharging his weapon outside his home. (pretty fucked up, I already caught one stray bullet)

edit: Keep in mind, if I'm shot and killed in my home and I never got to my gun, I was unarmed.

[Busyman]

Yes it does.

I'm sorry. You're right.

It's the cycle of gun ownership.
