I see the same paranoid, "I'd rather get caught with it than without it," arguments from gun advocates in here as I did in the HL thread. As if that matters when someone gets the drop on you.
"No one's gonna try me if they know I got that thang on me."
"If I woulda had a weapon when dude pulled that gun on me, things woulda been different."
"If someone breaks in my home, I can defend my family if I have a gun."
"You never know what could happen. Rather have a gun just in case something pops off."
"If guns are illegal, all the bad people will still have one, while the innocent people won't."
If guns were outlawed, the black market prices would skyrocket and it'd mostly be major criminals with guns (do you think a common criminal/coward is gonna drop $3,000 on a pistol?) and I doubt they're going around to middle class homes tying up families and robbing them. Besides, if people are so worried about getting their homes burglarized, get some damn insurance. Renters insurance is like $7/month for $100,000 in coverage. If it's really a threatening situation, let them have the items they want and collect the insurance money.
A taser or rubber bullets work just as effectively as a gun, they're just not lethal. Like I said before, it doesn't matter what you have on you if someone gets the drop on you first. That gun by your bed means nothing if they sneak up on you. Same way if you're out walking around and someone sticks you up, unless you're on some Max Payne/John Marston shyt and can freeze time while you line up five shots.
