Thread: Gun Related Deaths In America 2012

Just a couple of weeks ago---a woman shot an intruder, after 20 minutes speaking with 911 (no cop in sight, but the intruder was in her sites). I don't know if I would be able to do it...but my husband would, and I feel safer knowing that.

You would miss most defensive gun uses. I know several people who have used guns to defend themselves and their homes from intruders, but none actually fired a shot. In each case the intruder ran away, and the resident declined to shoot a fleeing felon.

e.g. negotiation.

I don't know what people are like in Australia, but here people are pretty smart. A gun is almost always a last resort. By the time a person feels so threatened that he/she needs to pull out a firearm, the verbal negotiation has either failed or the situation is beyond talk, and its time for a different kind of negotiation.

A gun itself is a strong deterent and a great equalizer. It doesn't have to be fired to stop a bad situation from becoming worse.

In fact a handgun with a laser sight generally puts an immediate stop to a situation. Its amazing the power of that little red dot flickering on some guys chest.

Why is the rest of the world concerned about our guns? Got to be jealous. I tell yeah a real gun will grow your pecker 3 inches, give a woman at least one cup size and a real vehicle with a V8 will give it a couple more.

So to recap big guns, big tits and big cars yeah you guy are jealous

More a curoisty maybe, that the usa view to guns hasnt changed in a few centuries. originally created to defend against a british invasion but for some reason still in effect.

Although now the excuses have changed, defending from an internal invasion from fellow americans.

no, no, not defending from other americans, defending from socialist tyrants masquerading as Americans.

But do you know any of those killed because of gun prevalence or perhaps battered wives who have been threatened by guns?

Do you think we could like this to the 'death penalty'? Folk have wondered why the US, compared to other civilised countries, stands out with its insistence on using such barbaric practices. It has been suggested that its an off-shoot of a lynch-mob mentality and encouraged by a need to reinforce a homogeneous set of conservative values. Same here?

What exactly are all the "men" doing while these home invasions are taking 20 minutes to occur. Your problem is your men in your society have lost thier balls and using guns to compensate.
