I'm just waiting for the inevitable home defense job where a guy pulls out his rifle, to shoot a burgler, lets him have it and the rounds travel out of his house and kill a couple of his neighbors.

I've always said that the last thing that anyone needs for home defense is a gun.

First of all, for all you know that creeping sound coming up the stairs is your daughter getting home from the bar. Of course its dark, your heart rate is going 6 million beats per second so you fire a warning shot below her head.

Chances are in a house, the bad guy is going to see you before you see him. So you're probably going to die and give him another gun.

People forget that bullets don't just stop, they travel a good distance, especially rifle rounds, and once they leave your control, they could hit someone in the street, or your neighbors house. Or whatever.

Guns create a falls sense of bravery. Why the frack are you moving towards trouble. Oh yeah, because you have a gun.

You know what the best weapon in the world is?

A telephone. No really a phone next to your bed.

You know what the other best weapon is. Space. Moving away from the noise instead of towards it

Guns for home defense are silly.

Large capacity magazines are stupid.

If you want to allow people home defense weapons, then outlaw guns and allow people to buy pepper guns, or bean bag guns. Because at least if you make a mistake, its not lethal.

Heck even tasers are more fun because if you shoot an intruder they poop their pants. If you shoot your daughter by mistake because she's coming home from the bar, she'll probably learn her lesson and not be dead.

And do we really need gun ownership for target shooting hobbyists. Wouldn't it make sense to be able to go to a gun range and rent any exotic weapon that you want?

And for hunters. Is it that much of a challenge to use super optics and a 30 round clip.

Go hunting with an iron site and a single shot, I guarantee you that its a different experience.
