Do you feel that unsafe that you need to be carrying a gun around?.... Try living in Camden, near Newark, going to college near Hartford, then transferring to college near Trenton, NJ and then we'll talk. Camden, Newark, Trenton and Hartford are all listed ahead of Houston as more dangerous cities to live in. Never once have i even thought about getting a gun. I dont live in Houston and i probably would have no problem living in Houston....Houston doesnt even break the top 25 most dangerous cities to live in (i'd actually feel more safe living in Houston in comparison to where ive been). Give me a break...ive lived near and in more dangerous cities than that. So you kill somebody thats trying to break into your house...you get life in prison...good job...but hey. At least you'll be safe in prison right?

So you have to live in a particularly dangerous area to be the victim of a violent crime? I'll keep that in mind next time one iis committed in a "safe" area.
Aside from the fact that it's legal to defend yourself [pretty much anywhere; even in Ma you can shoot someone if they pull a gun on you], have you ever heard the expression "it's better to be judged by 12 than carried by 6"?

Now, this is very simple. Guns do not kill people, bullets when shot out of that gun kill people, and bullets (normally) dont go off until the trigger is pulled, by (again, normally) a finger that is attached to a human hand. Thus, People kill people. IF not with a gun, then with a knife,bat,hammer,poison,rope,broken bottle,chainsaw, screw driver, bricks.......do i need to go on? It doesnt matter what you do with guns, people will kill people other ways. Atleast with guns the battle is even. and even if there are laws banning guns or making it harder to get them, well drugs are illegal arent they?

There is no solution, but being a good judge of what needs to be done. If i caught a person taking my car, i would not shot him, its a car, i love it, but its not worth a persons life. Now if you in my house, then your to close for comfort and your dead when you turn around. because im not going to give you the chance to think about hurting someone in that house. If you pull a knife on me, you intend to hurt me in a very bad way and maybe kill me, your dead. you want to get into a fist fight with me. we throw down, if i lose, i lose. i dont kill for out of pride. And with that is your solution.

People Have To Think.

I agree with most of what you said...but i gotta ask you. If you can use all those things as weapons, why do you need to have full possession of a gun? People kill people like you said so whats the purpose of having a gun when in fact people are the only lethal weapons walking the streets. This is according to you.

Its amazing to see so many internet toughies in one place. But you actually were reasonable and rational unlike "death."

And you must be the toughest of them all.....
We don't care that you don't want to own a gun, no one is trying to force anyone to one one, we just want to keep our RIGHT to own one if we wish, whether for self defense or just because we like guns.

Oh, I'm more than willing to see who will win if you have as many "knife,bat,hammer,poison,rope,broken bottle,chainsaw, screw driver, bricks" as you want, and all I have is loaded .45. Sounds like a fair fight, at least according to you.
