Who else thinks those who feel the need to defend themselves with a gun is a pussy?

And that merely proves my point. If the boyfriend was involved in shady dealings that the girlfriend and daughter didn't know was going on, it would be a completely random act for them. Without knowing of his [alleged] shady dealings, they would both be innocent victims. And in such a case, had there been a gun in the house, the girlfriend would be well within her rights to blow that effer away.

That assumes gun ownership = extraordinary proficiency. Just the unveiling of that hypothetical gun could have triggered the assailants to blow her away and her daughter. Instead, they're still alive and relatively unharmed. It goes both ways. Be realistic. If a guy charges into your front door with a loved one at gunpoint, do you really have the time to go rummaging through your house to get your gun (likely out of a gun safe), return to the point of entry and shoot the assailant without being fired upon? You aren't Liam Neeson.

Most Americans don't protest, let's get rid of the first amendment. It's useless since no one uses it.

That's an extraordinary leap of logic. And not even close to anything implied

You win, your succinct perfect argument overwhelms me and I concede defeat.

Whatever. Your counterpoint wasn't even part of the debate. Take a lap.

It was close enough. 1 is right next to 2. I could have made an argument about being hospitable to soldiers and been correct as well.

Ha. I don't think anyone ITT advocated for the revocation of the 2nd amendment though. Just pointing out some of the silly reasons people tell themselves to justify owning one. I'm all for the 2nd amendment. I just don't own a gun.

That's what you think.

I swear the people who have guns are the most scared and unconfident people.

Chicago Airport Cops are very confident...as they are not allowed to carried guns...and if there is ever an active shooter or terrorist situation at either major airport in town, their training tells them to "Run and Hide".
