- :) thanks, but it's just an indirect way of saying guns are pointless. -- nm - Loyola Feb 16, 15:08
Gun in the night stand. When you need help in seconds, the cops are only minutes away. -- nm - Redmond Feb 16, 15:01 19
- I'd love to see statistics on home invasion, versus, say, the likelihood of your plane falling from the sky. - Loyola Feb 16, 15:07 2
  - It's a simple choice. I choose to own a firearm. I am looking to also get a shotgun soon. -- nm - Redmond Feb 16, 15:20

- Only if you don't have kids. -- nm - the liioulu with hershey's Feb 16, 15:02 15
  - I don't -- nm - Redmond Feb 16, 15:03 14
    - Btw the bad guy will enter a house with kids too. -- nm - Redmond Feb 16, 15:04 13
      - That's not the problem with kids. It's them finding the gun and playing with it. - the liioulu with hershey's Feb 16, 15:07 1
        
        Then don't let them. -- nm - Redmond Feb 16, 15:20
      - she's saying that the kids will always find it there. -- nm - loosilu Feb 16, 15:05 10
        
        and if the kids are *educated* about guns, it's not as dangerous. - Dr.Vermin Feb 16, 15:09 9
        
        studies have shown that to be completely false. -- nm - loosilu Feb 16, 15:11 3
        
        I don't think that's true. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Feb 16, 15:12 2
        
        "I don't think so" is not a valid argument. ;P - loosilu Feb 16, 15:16 1
        
        IM:YSMM :) -- nm - Dr.Vermin Feb 16, 15:18
        
        And yet there are still deaths under those circumstances. -- nm - the liioulu with hershey's Feb 16, 15:10 4
        
        Yes. hence "not *as* dangerous" -- nm - Dr.Vermin Feb 16, 15:13 3
        
        But still dangerous. - the liioulu with hershey's Feb 16, 15:15 2
        
        Kids choke to death on carrots too. - Dr.Vermin Feb 16, 15:17 1
        
        Also not a valid argument here. -- nm - the liioulu with hershey's Feb 16, 15:32
just rig your house like the last episode of Burn Notice -- nm - J Feb 16, 15:00
That's why I sleep with a knife under my pillow. -- nm - Ziva Feb 16, 15:00
if you've got the boogeyman after you, you're already screwed. -- nm - Reagen Feb 16, 14:58 2
- and you really should have a shotgun with salt, not a revolver. Unless it's a COlt -- nm - oblique, better than nubby Feb 16, 14:59 1
  - word. -- nm - Epiphany Feb 16, 15:03
