You ever watch videos of people actually getting shot in altercations? Or have you just seen it in movies? A jacked up on adrenaline human being can take several bullets and still be very functional for a long time. This statement makes you seem as if you watch a lot of action flicks and think that bullets always knock people down:
Why would a .45 bullet knock him off his feet? It wouldn't. It would most likely pass right through and and not slow his forward momentum at all. You would have to get pretty lucky at that close range and hit his spine or heart to stop him in his tracks. The reality is that you most likely would have been in a struggle for possession of the gun, and if you lost that fight, well then you have a pissed off and possibly mortally wounded maniac who now has a gun in his hand. What do you suppose he's going to do with his last few seconds (or minutes) of his miserable life now that he has your gun? Mathematical odds would far favor that you just got Melissa killed.
Read up on it people - thousands of Americans die for each life that guns save - THOUSANDS. The whole "got my gun for protection" is a scam, a myth. Having a gun in the house means you are hundreds of times more likely to die of bullet holes, or your kids.
The Second Amendment is a dusty relic that needs to be taken out back and shot.

You're a fucking idiot. If you hit somebody with a .45 hollow point, they are down, that's it. He would absorb 600 ft/lbs of energy, no matter if it were his torso, head, leg, whatever. Any modern projectile spreads on impact, it doesn't pass through, especially projectiles designed for home defense in the .45 caliber. If somebody was trying to break in your house and you heard it, long before he got in, you're saying you would rather NOT have a gun than to have one?? LOL. Give me your address... There are HUNDREDS of videos on Youtube of armed citizens that kill or take down armed robbers. I've never seen a video where a criminal is shot "multiple times" and then keeps going forward, takes the innocent person's gun and shoots them with it. But you say the "overwhelming odds" that this is what happens when any innocent person grabs their gun during a break-in. Show me the videos of the "thousands" of armed citizens that have their guns taken from them by criminals and used against them.. Acutally, just show me 1... LOL I'll show you 100 of the opposite.
I've been on this board for 16 years and have NEVER chimed in to a non-pornbiz converstation, but I just had to on this one.
You say if you have a gun in your house your "hundreds" times more likely to die. Well 40% of Americans have guns in their house. So how can it be "hundreds" times more likely to die? Every household with a gun would be dead dozens times over according to that statement. Don't post lies, it's fucking gross. We get it, you don't like guns.. That's great... Guns have saved my life more than once and I don't feel the need to go around posting lies of how good they are. I honestly don't care who has them and who doesn't. I just know if you come near me or my family with bad intentions with anything less than an army, you're going to be killed. You've obviously never had death threats and don't have much to protect...
