You think the risks of someone having a gun in their home are GREATER than Bubba tea-partier with a messiah-persecution complex carrying his 9 to the local Arby's?

Also, I'm ex-military. If I'm shooting at you from the distance of my bed to my bedroom door, I'm not going to miss. And if I do, I've got 15 more shots following hot behind the first one. You don't need to be super trained to hit someone from 20 feet away anyway.

So you question how many times I've been around an unlikely situation by comparing it to another unlikely situation and calling it more dangerous? You're talking out your ass man.

You can protect your bedroom. Congrats. I can protect my entire neighborhood and more if needed.

Being ex-military has fuck all to do with this topic. I'd bet that I can out shoot you, and most any other GFYer, with pretty much any modern gun...And I have no military background. And I'm not talking out my ass. Enough GFYers have been to the range with me to vouch for this. Did I mention that I also build my own gas guns, bolt guns, and 1911's as well as own 2 firearms related businesses?

No, you don't need to be "super trained" to shoot somebody at 20 feet but most people can't consistently hit any vital areas at that distance on stationary targets while standing, let alone hitting moving targets while laying in bed in a dark room and half asleep.

I'll bet all 16 round you keep in your mag are the same right? Unfortunately the military doesn't teach you any better.
