But how will I shoot the person who walks in, as I sit there waiting with my gun cocked, and an oil fire burning in my back yard?
Sir, your house, with its extravagant and unnecessary multiple entrances, is what we call a "soft target" and it is downright un-American to ask anyone else to encumber their gun rights just because you're too lazy to harden your home against a concentrated attack.
Not sure. Maybe it's a requirement to have guns locked in a safe subject to random home checks by police officers. Maybe it's having some sort of GPS device imbedded in guns to make sure they aren't removed from a specific location. Maybe it's some weird block chain invention to tie a gun to a certain device you need to have in your house. I'm pretty sure with the technology we have in place where our refrigerators are able to order milk for us on the internet when we are low, there's probably a way to ensure having a gun in the house means it stays in the house or the small surrounding area.
Why? What is it about having constant 100% free access to your fire arms that makes it UNFATHOMABLE to have a requirement it's kept locked in a safe and you are subject to random checks to make sure you are following the rules?
There’s no person who will continue to break into a house with a barking dog behind the door. Except the cops, because they have a special treatment for barking dogs called “killing them”.
Apparently the sounds of gunfire and children screaming will stop the cops in their tracks. So, make sure that's not happening.
It's not the 100% free access (My handgun is locked up) It's the *knock knock* "It's the police and we're here to inspect your home"
Also the amount of resources it would take to have cops dedicated to just doing that. The cost would be untenable. Not to mention the inherent danger they will be in from a lot of the looneys out there adamantly against any kind of gun regulations at all.
Touché. I went back and saw that Cherries didn’t specify, so I agree with her, I don’t think a shotgun is necessary either.
What if it wasn't police, but instead the an ATF branch agent specifically hired to make sure you are properly following regulations to own a hand gun for home defense purposes? This would obviously follow the idea where owning a hand gun and keeping it at your home wouldn't be allowed unless you followed whatever regulations were in place to do so.
There isn’t children behind the door, it’s weed. So….. FREEZE, MOTHERFUCKER!!!! SHUT THAT DOG UP!!! SHUT THAT GODDAMN DOG UP OR I SWEAR TO GOD….
Looney's wouldn't be able to pass the requirements for gun ownership so there's no worries about needing to make sure they are following regulated gun ownership. Also, this 16,000 person deep town used 40% of their budget to their police force. They are armed to the teeth. They have a SWAT team. All of those funds can easily be reallocated since it's been shown, without a shadow of a doubt, funds spent arming a police force is....misplaced. On top of that, to actually qualify for owning a gun to keep in your house would require a pretty extensive amount of investment of time and money, I would venture to guess the amount of home gun ownership would dramatically decrease.
These would have to be very constitutionally sound laws, because it would give us a very deep well of demographic statistics. But then again, it might get some broad support that way!
That’s always a concern. And as I mentioned in an earlier post, it always leads back to registries which people hate the idea of. You need to know who has what exactly. A lot of people when you ask how many guns they have, they say “between 1 and go fuck yourself”.
I guess a crazy non-gun owner like me will have to resort to using a 3D printer to build fully automatic lower-receivers for AK-47’s and use my skills with machines to build the rest. Easy-Peasy.
Alright, let's say you did it, all the cars are gone.... except for the drunk driver's and maniac's cars. They kept theirs. And now they're still drunk driving. Running over bicyclers, and walkers, and people on horseback. People that are more vulnerable and too slow to get out of the way. Huh?
