 Police can abuse guns, just like regular people do.
 
 Americans think the solution is more guns.
 
 Raise your hands if you understand why this is crazy."The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate. Like Ben."

 Would you be as scared if you knew the chance of the intruder having a gun was virtually nil?Originally posted by The Mad Monk View PostI think the solution is more guns because the police took fifteen minutes to get to my house.
 
 If that was true, all you'd need is a bat or knife to scare him off -- not a gun."The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate. Like Ben."

It is good for potential victims to have guns even if the criminals don't, because the criminal is often stronger, always has the initiative, and may not be inclined to hold back.No, I did not steal that from somebody on Something Awful.

 Guns are never an equalizing force. They are simply escalating forces.
 
 What're the odds an intruder will shoot you if you're unarmed vs if you're pointing a gun at them?"The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate. Like Ben."

 You see this all the time with cops shooting people too.
 
 A guy was shot & killed by cops outside of Calgary last week because he took out what was a very realistic-looking fake gun when the police tried to arrest him.
 
 If he didn't have a gun -- even the if it was a fake one -- he'd not have been shot. Escalating force."The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate. Like Ben."

 Arguements with absolutes a sign of a lost cause."Just puttin on the foil" - Jeff Hanson
 
 “In a democracy, I realize you don’t need to talk to the top leader to know how the country feels. When I go to a dictatorship, I only have to talk to one person and that’s the dictator, because he speaks for all the people.” - Jimmy Carter
