I guess you would scare away an unarmed intruder, but if I broke into a house, and had a gun, and heard that, I would shoot the first thing that moved, figuring I would get shot if I hesitated.

That fact anybody in america feels they need a gun to protect themselves says a lot about the state of crime in that nation.

You're right, anything could happen, especially from someone accosting you with a gun. He's already broken many social norms to do that. If someone points a gun at me and says "give me your gum", I figure if he wanted to kill me, I'd be dead already. If she wanted to rape me, I figure she'd say "take your clothes of and make that weenie hard, hot stuff" or something.

Would you really rather kill someone than put up barbed wire and flood lights?

Blah blah blah yack yack yack we heard this 10 pages ago! I seriously don't want to sound like a redneck, but if you don't like the US why did you emigrate here!

And obviously you didn't read what everyone else posted that supported why America is not a rampant criminal society. You didn't read those posts huh didja? Just save it, this thread has moved on ducky.

Wow like I had a choice moving here. I guess you figure I somehow made my dad uproot us and move us to this place. Oh and I have read those posts but have yet to see anything that shows crime isn't high in the US.

What do you mean again?

cowhead · 04-21-2007, 10:15 PM

for one the use of statistics can be used to prove anything.. so they aren't really valid. I can pull up stats to prove anything.. anything. really. I own a gun.. a 410. quick w/ rocksalt/gravel ( holding to the old 'blunderbuss' ideal' rounds. quick and very very painfull) if that doesn't make you think twice.. the 45. call. will. I would regret taking a human life, however if you are trying to rob me.. you are not a ' human being' in the traditional ( amer-indian) sense. so your life is forfeit. play nice.

cowhead · 04-21-2007, 10:26 PM

hey duck_duck? where do you live? perhaps it's just a national ' bad neighborhood' ie. detroit. / freshchronic? where? huh? souds liek more of a case of bad luck rather than a national average..

freshnesschronic · 04-21-2007, 10:28 PM
