Don't most home owners have pets like a DOG? Dog starts barking or you hear something.. Besides you're acting like it takes 5 mintues to open up a safe just to argue having a gun in a home with children I'm sure.. Takes 10 seconds IF tops. And it became punishible by death BECAUSE YOU BROKE INTO MY FUCKING HOUSE!! Ony liberals will argue this. Lots of bulglars are armed.
I don't know about you, but every other pet owner I know doesn't panic and think they're under attack every time their animal makes a noise - I certainly don't. Animals make sounds all the time, you get used to it. It's rarely treated like a cause for alarm.
I don't think Usaine Bolt could even get out of bed, get to the safe (which may be in a different room), open the safe first try (with adrenaline shakes) and load the gun (again with shaking hands because adrenaline) within ten seconds.
Burglary doesn't carry the death penalty... well anywhere. It's ridiculous that adrenaline-fuelled everyday citizens are allowed to take the law into their own hands and shoot someone for petty theft when the actual judiciary branch would only give like five years for the same crime.
Yeah, lots of burglars are armed. Your solution to that problem is to... make them perceive you as a threat and pour fuel onto the fire in what is already a pretty intense situation. I'd hazard a guess you going to confront the burglar with a weapon increases your chances of getting shot rather than decreases it, but that's pretty hard to prove.
Best to kill them than them to go to the next home and murder someone.
Let's take a human life just in case. Never mind that they most likely aren't out to hurt you.
It happens, just saying. Maybe I have less symphathy for criminals than you, I don't know but how hard is that to understand? So if someone has 3 pitbulls and someone breaks in when the owners aren't home and the guard dogs kill the intruder the dogs or home owners should be punished for attacking someone ON YOUR PROPERTY INSIDE YOUR HOME? That's the logic you're using here. Moral of the story, don't break into other peoples homes. Do gun owners need to get a sign that states "WARNING: I'm a gun owner"? Guarantee if a burlglar knew that home had firearms they wouldn't go in there.
If your three pitbulls kill someone, you're going to be saying goodbye to your pitbulls. Dogs that kill people get put down.
Yes, the logic I'm using here is actual logic. Non-violent crimes don't deserve capital punishment and it shouldn't be in the hands of the general public to decide if someone lives or dies. Not to mention, you having a gun at home that can
potentially save your life (if it doesn't get you killed) does nothing about all the innocent lives being lost specifically because every day people like you can easily obtain a gun.
Most violent crimes in the US that result in murder are from criminals not to mention the amount of gang members in the cities whom are armed illegally so your argument is kind of irrelevant to me.
All violent crimes are committed by criminals. You're a criminal the minute you commit a crime. What you're doing here is pulling alternative facts out of your metaphorical backside and choosing to ignore my points because you don't actually have a legitimate counter-argument. You don't get to label something irrelevant because you can't counter it.
Fun fact by the way, the majority of those illegal guns were originally produced, bought and sold legally. The black market doesn't have its own personal gun factory. Oh and speaking of the black market, illegal guns would be much more expensive and therefor harder for the average criminal to obtain if they weren't already so easily available.
Your point is.....? These are mass murders that happen once in a blue moon, it's not a daily, montly, or even yearly thing.
Mass shootings happen a
lot more frequently than "once in a blue moon." Here's a list of
this years. Also worth noting... Chicago doesn't come up as often as I was expected given it's your favourite example.
Here's another
source. 11, 000 deaths from shootings, nearly 300 mass shootings and nearly 3000 of those deaths were minors. All this year. Remember, I've already demonstrated that 80% of the guns used in these shootings were obtained legally.
Lets just do what other countries do in America... Basically ban guns have the military swarm homes of innocent gun owners because of a handfull of mass murder cases and give officers night sticks.. Watch how criminals with guns murder rate go on the rise including killing of officers and don't act like gang bangers won't have guns because they will, the police are an EASY target if that's the case. This would aslo make it easy peasy for a criminal to break into a home and rob us. But that never happens right?
Yes, you should do what other countries do. Exactly.
Hahahaha! That's an insanely asine statement man. I'm sorry, but in a city like CHICAGO a gun is completely necessary unless you're downtown or in the rich neighborhoods. Downtown is patrolled by officers on every block so you feel more safe and at ease of something happening but get away from the downtown area where the officers aren't patrolling. Tourists that don't know the area, and end up in a bad neighborhood.. Honestly in this case, if the tourist had a gun in the glove box it wouldn't do them no good. I wouldn't drive down these streets unless I had a armored bulletproof vehicle.
You're right, my statement is completely asinine. Who cares about all the evidence to the contrary I've provided! Where's yours again? Aside from anecdotal evidence that I've already proved wrong and your own person belief that burglary should be a capital crime I mean.
