Oh, the home invasion argument.
Let me just stand here in your dark hallway with this knife, while I wait for you to wake up, find your keys and unlock your gun cabinet. Unless you're sitting on the end of your bed waiting for someone to jump in your window, a (legally/responsibly stored) firearm will not help you.
And if you are the sort of person who sits on their bed waiting to shoot someone... Then maybe guns aren't for you.
FYI - I'm sport/vermin shooter here in Australia. Literally everyone here who has any involvement with firearms will happily tell you why every conceivable argument about homeowners having access to high powered semi/automatics is totally and categorically wrong.
- giardini 10y ago"Oh, the home invasion argument." The article isn't about "the home invasion argument." Please read the article before posting. Better yet, simply don't post. You're Australian and the article is about U.S. citizens living in the USA. Here we don't have to lock up our guns at night (and for that matter, some of us don't sleep either!8-)). Finally plenty of the wrong people wander into the wrong homes in the USA (and many of them are armed).
- King-Aaron 10y agolol, there's so many things I want to say back to you about telling me not to comment because I'm not American. But you know... I won't. By the way, the author begins comments about home defence about 1/3 of the way into the article, when you get up to that part. My comment was just touching on the point they just touched on.
- dang 10y ago> Better yet, simply don't post. That crosses the line into incivility. Please don't do that, especially not based on nationality.
