re: #164 Rightwingconspirator

To the gun control/ anti gun posters-Okay lets say guns are all illegal at all times. Just for a thought experiment.
You then have to ask yourself-What would the “device” of last resort be for an ordinary citizen when confronted (perhaps at home perhaps elsewhere) with violent rape or murder by a human predator? What will we allow them to have if not a contemporary weapon?

How about we turn that about and ask, if the person had a gun what would happen during a home invasion?

What conditions would have to be met for the gun to be useful? The gun would have to be in the same room as the victim. It would have to be loaded. It could not be in a gun safe or have a trigger lock.

Or the criminal would have to make his presence known far enough ahead for the victim to prepare herself and her gun.

That is a recipe for creating silent, armed gangs of criminals.
