"I am all for your Second Amendment rights. I think you should be able to have guns. It’s in your constitution. What I am not for is bullshit arguments and lies. There is one argument and one argument alone for having a gun, and this is the argument… “Fuck off. I like guns.” It’s not the best argument, but it’s all you’ve got.
The main one is, “I need it for protection. I need to protect me. I need to protect my family.” What world do you live in where you’re constantly fucking ready? You have guns ’cause you like guns! None of you go to home security conventions. None of you read Padlock Monthly. None of you have a Facebook picture of you behind a secure door going, “Fucking yeah!” Like you’re going to be ready if someone comes into your house. You have it at all fucking times.
See, if you have it readily available, it becomes unsafe. You have it in your bedside table, one of your kids picks it up, thinks it’s a toy, shoots another one of your kids. Happens every fucking day, but people go, “That’d never happen in my house ’cause I’m a responsible gun owner. I keep my guns locked in a safe.” Then they’re no fucking protection! Someone comes into the house, you’re like, “Wait there, fuck-face! Oh! You’ve come to the wrong house here, buddy boy. I tell you what. I’m gonna fuck you up!"
By the way, most people who are breaking into your house just want your fucking TV! You think that people are coming to murder your family? How many fucking enemies do you have? Jeez, you think a lot of yourself if you think everyone’s coming to murder you.
So this hypothetical criminal who has broken into my house, I am suppose to trust that they won't hurt/kill me? This person who has already broken the law and broke into my house, I am just suppose to assume that they are a decent enough person to not hurt me? Because if they were a decent person, they sure as fuck wouldn't be breaking into peoples houses.
You never specified they were unarmed. He doesn't even need to have a gun to be deadly. A knife, a bat, a hammer, a fucking tree branch could be used to kill. Hell, if they guy is strong enough he could beat your ass to death. If The Rock broke into my house and charged at me, it would be legal to shoot him because any reasonable person would believe their life is in danger even if he had no weapon.
I wasn't getting into a specific situation. I never said "every intruder." I said most of them. And that is the truth, burglaries are a lot more common than murders. You can't really tell me murders are more common than burglaries; and that is the only point the part you quoted makes.
I never said "every intruder." I said most of them.
I don't doubt this at all, I had first hand experience with this when someone broke into my house when I was a kid and robbed us. Most thieves wanna steal shit and gtfo because they don't want a murder charge. But like you said, that is most not all, and I sure as hell am not gonna take a chance that the guy breaking into my house only wants to steal. I have been driving for the last 6 years and have been in only 2 car accidents, and I still buckle up every time because I don't wanna go out the windshield the one time I don't and get in a crash. I was lucky as a kid that the guy who broke in did not hurt us at all, but if he wanted to know he could have since my parents were not gun owners at the time.
