You are putting the cart before the horse.

By your logic, we need to make robbery legal, because if a person uses ANY means to defend himself, the robber will always look to one up him as opposed to finding a weaker victim.

So if I am crippled, a robber will rob me using his hands.
If I am a regular unarmed person, he will use a knife.
If I am armed with a knife, he will use a bat.
If I am armed with a bat, he will use a tazer.
If I am armed with a tazer, he will use a gun.
If I am armed with a gun, he will use a gun too.

So what's the point of self-defense? Let's just surrender to the criminals!

Your so fucking wrong man!

Robbers will and were always entering houses without guns and raping and harming women. Guns allow the weaker to protect themselves over the stronger.

Ofcourse you are so used to guns because everyone and his brother has one and if they would ban guns tomorrow in the states the country would still have tons of illegal guns.
But look at a country where guns were never legal in the first place, those stats dont like dude. You can think all you want be the stats show something very different.

Where did you get your stats? Hmm? If they came from governmental agencies, I'm very disinclined to worry myself over them. If they came from the NRA, I'm VERY disinclined to worry over them. I don't really adhere to either of those.

This just comes around to being a circle of "I believe this way because I refuse to believe your way." That's fine. If you don't feel safe around guns, then that's your perogative.

But don't you DARE critisize those of us who legally own, safely use, and accept responsibility for our guns. Those of us who are responsible gun owners who don't want to be scared to sleep at night because of criminals who have guns, who don't mind being ready and able to stand up to intruders, and can fight for what we believe in don't deserve the bad press, (and that's what it really is, those stats, those "facts", those news articles that blatantly demean gun owners). You think we're stupid, whoopdeshit.

You can scorn or judge us all you want. Just know that we also get to scorn and judge, and more than derision, it's pity that we feel for the closed-mindedness that many anti-gun people exude.

People have the right to defend their homes and themselfs in every way they want. Very true.

Im jut saying that for instance (cant find stats on this)
In the US where guns are legal, lets say out of 10.000 robberies there prolly (dont know, giving examples) there will be 100 with a gun inflicted dead. On both sides, robber and victim.
While in a country where guns are illegal and the chances of a robber and the owner of the house having a gun are VERY rare out of 10.000 robberies there will be mabe 10 deadly endings.

Know what i mean?

I really agree with you, you have to feel safe in your house and be able to defend yourself how you want but once again guns will result in more deads on both sides!

theking · 01-19-2004, 02:12 PM

I have a pistol on my computer desk at all times. I have a pistol...rifle...or shotgun in every room in the house. If I answer the door late at night it is almost always with a pistol in my hand.

A few months ago (I posted about the incident at the time) a guy that was apparently strung out on drugs barged into my house when I answered the door late at night (a night that I negligently answered the door without my pistol in my hand) and I had to deal with him physically...which put me in harms way. Fortunately I was capable of handling him...but it would have required much less exertion to pull a trigger.

My question for this would be..
Out of those 100 dead in the US, how many are robbers? Because we don't care about dead robbers.

Out of those 10 dead where guns are illegal, how many are the people being robbed?

Those are the numbers you should compare.

gregtx · 01-19-2004, 03:24 PM

its funny.. b/c these incedents are so rare.. that it makes national news.. if it was an every day thing like an "automobile death".. it would not make the news...

buff makes a good point.. w/o guns we would still be under the rule of Britain...

cocaine is illegal.. does it stop the rampid use among americans??? don't be such a fool.. making something illegal... is like putting a band aid on cancer...

oh and about the actual article.. the dad is the one to blame.. not the gun.. any gun saftey course could have prevented that.. but wait.. I think that is already a law.. you need gun safety courses before getting a hunting license... geez.. why the fuck did this happen... the "law" should have prevented it...

Same with B&E'ing a house with a knife. A good dog outweighs a knife any day. So yes, I would rather the petty criminals have knives than guns. Criminals who make more money will always have money to spend on black market guns, but at least the crackheads will be restricted to knives and crap like that.

Wanna stop crackheads with guns? Kill the crackheads or get rid of crack. This silly argument could go on forever and ever and ever but we aren't getting rid of our guns. PERIOD

Know what happens then? Criminals walk into a house confident that the victims in that house can't defend themselves. At the most, they'll have to fend off a parent with a baseball bat or a knife. No contest as long as they see that parent coming. They'll just shoot the parent.

Other countries have outlawed guns. Did it stop the killing? No. It simply raised the killing done by other means - like knives.
It's also raised the general crime rate since the criminals know the people don't have guns.

Read up on Victoria and its 300% rise in violent crimes since guns were taken away from the people.

I am mildly interested in this 300% rise in violent crimes. Do you have a link?

Everything I have read on guns in the home is negative, not positive. I personally do not see how having a gun can save your life if someone breaks into your home with a gun and intent to kill you.

Life isnt like the movies, most homeowners have the gun locked up in a case, with a triggrerlock and the bullets stored in another (probably locked) case. By the time you did that all out and load your gun, the bad guys have your wife and kids tied up in the bathroom and you lose.

The stats I have read, show that homeowners with guns in the home tend to have those guns used against them.

Most people who break into a house are after money and goods - they arent out to take lives. If you dont have a gun, they break in, take your shit and leave, you file a police report, collect insurance and buy bigger locks. Life goes on.

If you have a gun, pull it out, get in a struggle and get shot, your family loses you and you die. I dunno....

What Carrie said is correct. In the cities and towns throughout the US where it is required for each family to own a gun of some sort, the crime rate has dropped significantly. I don't know about you, but if I were a criminal, I sure as hell am going to avoid a town where I know everyone is armed. You break into someone's home there and chances are, you're going to get shot.

If the gun is securely stored and has a trigger lock so your kids cant shoot each other, how can you use the weapon to protect your family from criminals who break into your house in the middle of the night while you are sleeping? If the gun was loaded and under your pillow, I can understand how it could be readily available, but then you have to worry about your kids shooting themselves, dont you?

Yes. Organized and effective military against a rabble with some weapons? Nazi's were able to overpower several established armed forces. The USA military (note, not US citizens with guns, but trained professionals) would not have been able to pull a victory off if the Nazi's were not worn down and stretched thin by the efforts of the European armies.

I understand it is in your constitution. Thats cool. (not that something drawn up a hella long time ago could be wrong tho, right? heh)

But I didnt say take away your guns. Nor did I say it was wrong to own guns.

I am curious IF owning a gun in your house (because I can own a handgun in canada and actually, there are two in my house right now - a 45 and a 9 mm) protects your family. You see, getting to the guns, unlocking the case, removing the trigger lock and loading the gun would take several minutes, which seems to me to be enough time for a criminal to tie up my family and shoot me.

So prove me wrong. Or get over it

Now, go kiss your gun

what are you talking about??? I dont' have a gun to protect my house.. I have a gun to have a gun.. for hunting and for sport shooting... if I had to use it to protect my family great.. but that is the least of my worries... I believe that in canada..you ahve to call the RCMP just to take your hand gun to the range... lame

I never disputed your right to own a gun. Someone made a comment that owning a gun will protect their property. I dont see how, as when a gun is properly stored it takes some time to get it ready for use.

And no, you dont call the rcmp to take the gun to the range, but kudo's for realising we have rcmp up here ;)

That question probably shouldn't be applied to me since I don't have children in the house. My guns are kept ready at the bedside and one on my computer desk within reach.

My daddy had an interesting way of teaching us about gun safety. He let us shoot the 12 guage when we were 6. A bruised shoulder and sore arm made a kid seriously think about EVER touching his guns, and none of us ever did. Hell, I was 18 and in boot camp before I ever touched another one, and went through firearm training classes.

we have CFL's in Texas... (concealed firearm license) which means I can carry a gun loaded and hidden... come mug me with your knife ;-))

well then the canadians that i've spoken too who are trying to get handguns.. were misinformed...

handguns require quite a bit of skill to use.. I guarantee.. most people could not get a lethal shot off on a target over 15 ft.. espeicially if that target is moving..

Big Nath · 01-19-2004, 06:04 PM

Well i have to say, that I have NEVER known anyone that was shot by a gun in my lifetime (excluding WW1 and WW2).

I go culling every month or so. Kangaroos are a big problem on alot of our grain crops here in australia, so we need to cull them to stop damage.

I bet everyone in america has either seen someone shot, knows someone whos been shot or has been shot themselves.

Guns are a problem in the states, there is no way you can say they arent. I have 4 rifels here in my house, a 303, 22250, a lever action .44 rifle (which is my favourite) and an old ww2 303.

We arent allowed handguns in australia, the cops and shooting clubs are the only ones that have them, and i thank god for that.

Nath

L0stMind · 01-19-2004, 06:11 PM

Yeah, texas scares me. I dont think I will go down there - somebody might blame me for mad cow disease and take me out with their concealed 45

I have a 3 month old child (tenants baby girl) in the house. Guns are still locked up - they have to be up here.

You do need a permit to bring the handguns to the range. You dont have to inform the rcmp every time you plan to visit the range tho.

As for the Nazi invasion vs armed citizen/basic militia.... I agree, that people with homes and families to defend will fight harder then an invading force... but the nazi's were very well trained, had exceptional tactics and superior weaponry. Any militia would not have stood a chance. Hell, the professionals didnt stand a chance.

Interesting topic nonetheless.

Why is my thought amusing. Battuss argued that cars can't be banned because they are a necessity. Fast cars are not a necessity, and allowing cars to only go 40-50 mph would serve their purpose and reduce accidental death.

If someone comes in my house uninvited, how am I to know what their intentions are. I will shoot first, and hope they don't live to answer questions later. Sorry if that sounds harsh to you, but I love my life and my daughters life, and would not hesitate to protect them!

This is the total homicide rate per country per 1000 people.
It includes all murders; guns, knives, pointy sticks, whatever.

You are 5 times more likely to be murdered in the USA than in the UK.

to put it another way:

1 in 1000 european citizens will be murdered.
1 in 200 american citizens will be murdered.

If you argue it is not due to all the guns here,
then americans must just be 5 times as murderous.

right?

yes

and according to the chart you can see that Canadians are more murderous than the Nederlanders. (both places have no guns)

No the room is not locked. My child does not have the opportunity to reach my gun. First, she would have to go in my room without asking, which my child does not do. Second, I am not sure where she would get something to stand on that would make her tall enough to reach the gun. Third, my child is not out of eyes or ears range long enough to accomplish this anyway. As she gets older, I am sure some of this will change, and I will change with it.

I have a pistol...rifle...or shotgun in every room in the house. If I answer the door late at night it is almost always with a pistol in my hand. A few months ago (I posted about the incident at the time) a guy that was apparently strung out on drugs barged into my house when I answered the door late at night (a night that I negligently answered the door without my pistol in my hand) and I had to deal with him physically...which put me in harms way. Fortunately I was capable of handling him...but it would have required much less exertion to pull a trigger. __________________ When you're running down my country hoss...you're walking on the fighting side of me!

I think that is already a law.. you need gun safety courses before getting a hunting license... geez.. why the fuck did this happen... the "law" should have prevented it... __________________ Processing Partners http://www.processingpartners.com

Drake Hello world! Industry Role: Join Date: Mar 2003 Posts: 12,508	I don't know anything about hunting but I would wager that most hunters in here would agree the dad was very irresponsible shooting at something he wasn't sure was an animal. Last edited by Drake; 01-19-2004 at 04:33 PM..

Just curious, not bashing - unless you keep it under your pillow, then I think you are insane __________________ http://cashcore.com - Make Money. http://ezprovider.net - Hosting.

I actually had a buddy in college who shot a dude at close range with a 12 gauge shotgun (not a handgun)... fucked him up pretty bad.. cops told him.. too bad the other two got away... btw.. the three guys were robbing his apartment... __________________ Processing Partners http://www.processingpartners.com

Big Nath Confirmed User Join Date: Feb 2003 Location: Australia Posts: 332	Well i have to say, that I have NEVER known anyone that was shot by a gun in my lifetime (excluding WW1 and WW2). I go culling every month or so. Kangaroos are a big problem on alot of our grain crops here in australia, so we need to cull them to stop damage. I bet everyone in america has either seen someone shot, knows someone whos been shot or has been shot themselves. Guns are a problem in the states, there is no way you can say they arent. I have 4 rifels here in my house, a 303, 22250, a lever action .44 rifle (which is my favourite) and an old ww2 303. We arent allowed handguns in australia, the cops and shooting clubs are the only ones that have them, and i thank god for that. Nath

I dont think I will go down there - somebody might blame me for mad cow disease and take me out with their concealed 45 I have a 3 month old child (tenants baby girl) in the house. Guns are still locked up - they have to be up here. You do need a permit to bring the handguns to the range. You dont have to inform the rcmp every time you plan to visit the range tho. As for the Nazi invasion vs armed citizen/basic militia.... I agree, that people with homes and families to defend will fight harder then an invading force... but the nazi's were very well trained, had exceptional tactics and superior weaponry. Any militia would not have stood a chance. Hell, the professionals didnt stand a chance. Interesting topic nonetheless. __________________ http://cashcore.com - Make Money. http://ezprovider.net - Hosting.
