We have an almost grotesque obsession with guns in this country and it has caused us nothing but trouble. For every instance where a gun owner protects himself from a legitimate danger there are many more who are victimized by the antiquated ideologies from hundreds of years ago. When it took minutes to reload a single shot weapon it was much easier to say that having guns wasn't such a danger. But we don't live in that world, we live in the real world. Where people are opportunistic and will often chose the path of least resistance. Make guns hard enough to get and a lot more criminals will resort to easier less lethal methods. Some criminals will always get guns, but we could significantly reduce the number if we didn't have hicks and lobbyists with a borderline paranoid personality disorder crying crocodile tears every time somebody suggests that their right to own a gun is hurting society regardless of the overwhelming evidence. Statistically areas that have required gun ownership have lower overall crime rates, and higher gun crimes/deaths. I would rather be robbed than shot.

Every major country that has adopted gun bans such as those in the UK and Australia, have seen huge spikes in violent crime shortly after said ban goes into effect. Notice how almost every mass shooting from Columbine to Kenya has happened in a gun-free zone. Nobody, not even the criminal, wants to get shot, so they tend to pick what they feel is an easy target. When their would-be victim pulls out a firearm of their own, watch how fast the bad guy runs for cover.

Criminals, by default, do not obey the law. Therefore, violent crime will continue, regardless of the law. If you want to see things improve, put the criminals on notice that there will be consequences for their actions. Sometimes, immediate consequences. America needs tougher crime laws, not tougher gun laws.

Some dipshits just learned that guns are made for shooting, not threatening.

When I was fifteen, my best friend was sleeping in his room at his familys home. His parents and big brother was not home, leaving him and his sister(17) home alone.
Half asleep, he sensed somebody standing over his bed. He thought it was his brother fucking with him, not realizing he was not home.
He then woke up a bit, and thought he was having a weird nightmare or something, because what he saw was a man wearing all black and a skimask JERKING OFF over him.....
After a couple of seconds of thinking WTF!!!!, he decided to do something before anything else happened(yuck), and threw his blanket on him and pushed him away and screamed at him to get the fuck out of his room.
The guy seemed to be retarded or something, and stuttered "w..wh..wheres the d..door?, and seemed very disoriented.
My friend kicked him into a loudspeaker, and ran for the door.
He ran to check on his sister, and luckily she was ok. He found a bat, but his sister didn't want him too go after the guy, and they called the police and waited.
When the police arrived, they found out he had been going through the dirty laundry, picking out his sisters undies.
He had probably stalked the residence, seen his sister(hot blonde), and then mistakenly entered the wrong bedroom. My friend had long blonde hair too, because he was in a black metal band.
After this incident he slept with a knife under his pillow, and an axe stuck in between the madras and the bedframe.
I bet he wish he had a gun at the time, but then he would have had to deal with the trauma of killing someone..

A little later we were out drinking, and wanted to get a burger down town. In the burger joint, there was a really drunk big guy with red hair and beard asking for a steak. The owner don't want him there, and tells him to go to another place down the street.
He has to repeat himself a couple of times, and the guy is still confused, asking the owner w..wheres the d..door?, sounding almost more retarded than drunk. He got out, and after a while I look at my friend, and it seemed like he had seen a ghost...."that's the guy....that's the guy that was in my room..."
We went out too look for him, but he was gone.
5 years later a girl I know tells me a story about something fucked up she encountered at a girlfriends house.
She was sitting on the bed in her room, when all of a sudden a guy carrying some dirty laundry comes walking in. The girl I know is not easily shocked, so the fact that he was naked from the waist down didn't make her flinch. She thought it was her friends weird uncle or something, and just said hello.
Next her friend comes into the room, and started screaming in terror!
It was not her uncle..
She described him as a "big guy with red hair an beard, that almost seemed a bit retarded"
Creepy, huh?

Nice post

Many interesting posts on where the gun is kept. I have the cameras, alarm, the dog, and finally the gun. If the intruder makes to the bedroom he deserves a price. 15 .40caliber rounds at $1.50 each, that's $23.00 dollars worth of lead that he could take to the local recycling shop, provided the the shop knows how to pulled them out of his ass.

This is all well and good but there were almost 10,000 firearms murders in the US last year and only 260 of them were justified civilian killings. Have a great day.
