gdad:

“Thank goodness Dan called a halt to your earlier profanity.”

What? An self-censored gesture towards elected officials who thumb their nose at our Constitution and violate their oathes is a lot different than what whomever said the same to me personally. That was what Dan called a halt to, if I remember correctly, throwing me into the same category.

The rest of your silly, wild speculations don’t merit addressing.

As I said on another thread, John W, your posts are getting more and more manic. Chill pill time. Your comparisons are idiotic. Thank goodness Dan called a halt to your earlier profanity.

The point is, of course, that for some people carrying a gun makes them feel so manly and all that they do stupid stuff that they wouldn’t do otherwise. Like confronting a possibly armed person instead of taking the wiser route of retreating and calling the cops. Or confronting a dangerous Skittles-carrying black teen even after you’ve been advised to back off and ending up killing the guy, thereby possibly ruining your own life and definitely ruining his. Or shooting your own daughter as she snuck into the house late because you thought she was a burglar and by golly you were going to take care of that guy.

gdad:

“Of course if he had come home packing and started a gun battle, he might be dead now.”

If he got lost on the way home, the burglar might have been gone by the time he arrived.

If he had a wreck on the way home he might have died.

If my aunt had balls, she’d be my uncle (h/t Art Hill).

What’s your point?

Yup.

I remember when it started out as 8,000 in North America (including Canada, USA, Mexico, & (Panama?).

Somehow that morphed into just the US.

US law enforcement agencies do not keep tallies of home invasion, as such. In fact, there is often conflicting definitions from jurisdiction-to-jurisdiction and more so in press coverage. Even B&E of homes when there was no one at home at the time are reported in the press as home invasion in some papers. Ditto, lack of common definition across Canada, USA, & Mexico. Ditto incompatible / lack of data collection across countries.

I do not know that I spend any time fearing death or attack. Certainly not to the point of having some plan for same. I think that society has changed a lot and the days of not locking, and in the summer time not even closing your doors are likely gone for good, but feeling the need to plan for personal safety beyond locking doors is just not on my radar and I am not afraid to die at any moment in time in any event. I do not want to live in a world where the need or want for such “precautions” as carrying a gun and keeping one “handy” become my everyday activities.

If you examine the “Tea Party Membership” card it’w quite evident whatever
