  • Sounds a whole lot like an opportunity to threaten/coordinate the message with the lapdogs

  • When a creep broke into my house in the middle of the night and threatened my family of 5, my gun was the tool I used to ensure we didn’t meet the same demise as these poor people. You know, if allowing decent people to have guns saves the life of just one child (in my case it saved my 3 kids at the expense of one career criminal, so even if we’re counting heads, we’re still +2), don’t you think we should do it? Do you see how I’ve thrown the moronic gun control appeal to emotion back in your face? Pretty sweet, huh!

  • I guess the really interesting thing would be to see what authorities would do in that situation. I think they’d probably be mad, but I wonder if they’d do anything for fear of public uproar when they try to prosecute the person who ended the insanity.

  • Those were my thoughts exactly. I think I might have done it anyway though, just with good cover!

  • Other stories show that he didn’t have a permit for the firearm, despite laws requiring a permit where he lived. So we already know that he didn’t have the guns legally, which means no background check would have occurred. In other words, it didn’t matter which of the idiotic gun control laws you had in place, same result. I should know not to expect rational thought from a person who favors gun control (unless you mean the kind of gun control that involves tight three shot groupings).

  • Please cite stats. I bet you’re right but I’d love to see the actual data. Maybe we should ban liberals and liberal politicians. If it saves just one life…

    I thought about it, actually. But I noticed their form requires that you give your name, and I’m not sure I want them to have that information. Frankly, the details of the story might be enough to figure it out, even if I made up a fake name.

  • I forgot to add that my pistol had one of those terrifying pistol grips!

  • I wonder if they’ll take my story:
    My wife awoke to a man in our bedroom about 2 am. I’m skipping lots of details here, but the guy led us around our house as hostages seeking valuables for about 15 minutes. He then got the idea that we could take him to an ATM to get money from our accounts and while preparing to go, I finally made it to my closet where my gun was. I came out of the closet and attempted to detain the man, who came at me instead. I fired a single shot and hit him in the chest, killing him in less than 30 seconds. I believe in gun control – it only took me one round! Also worth mentioning are the following facts: my three children are completely unharmed and still have both parents thanks to my firearm, I did NOT use the child lock that came with my firearm because I figured in a jam, I couldn’t afford the delay (I was right, the intruder had my keys before I was awake), I purchased the gun from a private party without a background check, the gun I used had a high capacity magazine (12 round pistol), it was, wait for it, semi-automatic (I know, you’re all terrified now), and the intruder had a long history of violent crime.
    So, you think they’ll appreciate my story?

  • Kane, I’d be very curious to know how you define “needless suffering” and more importantly, who gets to determine whether someone will be suffering needlessly. Most people with Down Syndrome that I’ve ever met are quite happy so who has decided that their lives will entail needless suffering? There is a huge subjectivity problem with this approach also. Where is the line? What if someone will have diabetes? What if we know they will have cleft palate? This is eugenics. It isn’t even like eugenics, this is some group of people playing god and deciding whose life is worth keeping and whose isn’t. Again, many who are born with defects are very happy and it seems the height of hubris to assume that we can identify who will needlessly suffer if allowed to be born.
