I have a group of men in ski-masks charging my house carrying weapons that have ignore sign posted warnings and verbal warnings that I have made clear to them.. I'm not waiting until they kick down my front door to take action. Protecting innocent people from trauma, rape and murder is my first priority and I'm not waiting until they are with-in arms reach inside my house to take action.That says it all to me really. Nobody is a threat to you at that distance, nobody can harm you from that far away, yet you want the means to kill them from that distance? I'm begining to see why there are so many murders in America, people are so quick to use a weapon on someone for petty reasons, deadly weapons at that. If someone was looking to break in to your home then you don't need a gun until they are at your home about to break in. Until that point they may look suspicious, but you could be killing a completely innocent person.
Could you maybe come back with some credible references/sources debating the topic further. It's turning this whole discussion in to assuming most Americans aren't responsible enough to know better. We have already discredited the idea 'countries become safer after taking away their guns away.'
If this isn't something you believe to be true, either: re-read my post made earlier about Scotland and the UK becoming more violent OR show us some concrete proof that we can better understand and be educated with other than your emotional judgement.
[Editor's note] Pretty lame that the only other person to discuss possible re-working disciplinary actions and discourage others whom might want to copy this trend in here was Merlin.. Or is this just a gun/violence debate in here now? [/end note]
