Why can't people just do exclusively normal things in their home, like eat corn flakes and consume popular media?

- vkou 3y agoYou're free to churn butter by hand using a toothpick in the comfort and privacy of your own home, but I wouldn't take complaints about toothpick integrity from someone doing that seriously. There are much better arguments against shitty, compromised concrete than 'I need to park a semi-truck in my bedroom closet.'
- rcoveson 3y agoThere are much better arguments than "I want to blow up a bomb in my house" as well. Oh, and there are better arguments than "I want to dig the house out of the ground and drop it from a great height". One example of a reasonable argument is: "I want to put a very heavy safe on the floor, which works fine when it's normal concrete".
- rnk 3y agoDon't forget the other reasonable part, testing that 50 caliber machine guns can't penetrate the safety of your home walls. That's pretty normal too, right?

- vkou 3y agoTo be fair, someone building a panic room/closet for personal protection makes a hell of a lot more sense than buying a gun for a similar purpose. Unless your threat vector is 'A cartel/the Mossad/the FBI really, really wants you dead', a cellphone and a room with no windows and a heavy door that locks from the inside will solve 99.9% of that problem, without all the problems that guns bring.
