I'm sorry but that is a terrible attitude. If this happens you do not take it into your own hands to resolve the issue, that is why there is law enforcement.Originally Posted by Shadow1:337837
I agree the ability to protect yourself and family from other gun wielding loonies is your right. But to use it as a threat or leverage over someone is appalling. Sometimes the threat of a gun to an assailant is enough to send them running. To fire first and think second is the attitude I fear too many people hold. And they call it self defence.
You will never remove guns from the USA as it is already integrated into society. With that in mind, gun crimes should receive the heaviest punishment possible to discourage criminals (hearing these stories of plea bargains and reduced sentences makes me sick). Yes someone can attack you with a knife, but a gun has one purpose to kill again and again from range. It's lethality is 100x that of a manual weapon.
I'm confused as to why the licensing laws allow almost anyone to have a firearm. Is there no mental screening processes or yearly reviews of weaponry?
I leave with this... If someone intends to shoot you, they will and all owning a gun does is allow you to shoot them back.
