jezer, one of our "problems" is that too many people like you think that all laws are "for our own good" without taking the time to stop and ask "when did this become a problem and why am i letting someone else think for me?"
i was born and raised right here in southeast texas - MAJOR redneck country. i was taught how to use firearms almost as soon as i was steady enough on my feet to point them at the target in my back yard. it wasn't because i needed to "defend myself". my family wanted me to know how to safely and properly handle a firearm. they are not only used to kill/protect other humans. we also use them to go hunting - for food.
you are not only asking me to give up a way to defend myself, my peace of mind that the gun is there in case i need it, but also a way to feed myself and my family if the need ever arose. thanks, but no thanks.
it's closed-minded, unyielding, "government-knows-best" people like YOU, jezer, that are the threat here. not because you are breaking into my home. not because you disagree with me. it is because you are content to sit back and do nothing, thinking that the laws will protect you while you are getting robbed. i am sure that that intruder is going to wait for you to grab your phone, open it, dial 911, wait for the operator to answer, get your name and address, wait for you to state your problem and describe your intruder. HELL NO! he's going to blow your hand off (at the least) trying to get that phone away from you. now what, dumbass? now you have no phone, you are wounded and the intruder is STILL THERE. where's the cops then? where is your help? where is your laws to protect you? get your head out of the sand and look around you, jezer. the world is not a pretty little kindergarten classroom that eats their milk and cookies and takes a nap because teacher says so.
"now a real killer, when he picked up the zf-1, would've immediately asked about the little red button on the bottom of the gun." - zorg --> the fifth element
Yeah bringing you another disturbing creation from the mind of one sick animal who can't tell the difference and gets stupified.
