For anyone that stll believes in his/her delusional, fantasy world that you still need a gun to protect yourself ... Simple, multiple-point question for you, sheriff:

How about a home security system instead?

Your response:
A) "Yea well, I can't afford one"
-> Then don't worry about being robbed, you don't own anything worth stealing anyway.

B) "They don't work"
-> Have you tried one? If for nothing else, the sticker on all your windows will at the very least make the robber(s) think there's gotta be an easier place to rob than yours.

C) "I can afford it, but they are too expensive"
-> How much do all your guns costs? Your 75" plasma TV? Your ATV? Your trip to Mardi Gras ... If defending your home is less important than these luxuries, then it's your priorities that first need to get straightened out.

D) "F - that, someone comes into my house I'm gonna smoke their ass."
-> Fair enough, at least your honest. But as someone pointed out here stats show clearly that the gun you worship is far more likely to end up shooting someone else than any robber. Your kid, your neighbour, your wife, your dog ... maybe even you.


So, anyone please explain, what is the argument for why you absolutely *need* to have a gun in your home?
