I am angry because people are foolishly discussing weapon choices that accelerate and escalate violence.

I am VERY angry at whatever retard is selling apartment owners shotguns to use as clubs and batons, or brandish at people.

I'm angry about naive people being endangered by gunstore salesmen.

I shouldn't be nasty but I live in gunland. We have some very sweet but not very smart people here. I see the kinds of people who are likely to get shot idle beat to death diddling with a gun of very limited use.

Birdshot is a good choice for a mother with her children in the room as a second line defense of someone gets through Dad downstairs. But why is a woman with children living like this?

It's a good choice for a single woman living in an apartment in a bad neighborhood with a serial killer on the prowl.

It's good if you are in the pantry and Jack is breaking through with an ax.

It's a good choice for anyone in a closed populated space with a KNOWN attacked with KNOWN intentions.

I don't know why I bother. It's a survival of the fittest situation but ai really hate to think of innocent people lured by gun salesmen into strategies that i could MAKE someone have to STOP THEM.

Holding a gun in your hands cries USE LETHAL FORCE HERE


Same old thread--someone's going to use a gun to deter attack but holding a gun DRAWS DEFENSIVE ATTACK

Then they are going to use it to put down good dogs, scare off bad ones, signal for distress, light fires by shooting stones, aerate the compost and pound in tent stakes.

I feel innocent and naive people are taken advantage of and endangered too. It makes me mad.
