@19 – An armed homeowner facing an intruder versus an unarmed homeowner facing an intruder while waiting for the police to respond?

Sorry, Scott, when it comes to protecting my family, that’s not an option I am willing to take.

19 – better option than what, statistically? Can you cite the stats?

@18 Michael, they’re still a better option from a statistical perspective.

#17 – ” If I fear some type of intrusion, I’m calling 911. That’s part of what the police are for.”

Like they say, Scott, “When seconds count, the police are minutes away.”

@16 Mr. Doto, no need to be insulting by implying I’m a coward. I don’t think I’ve been anything but respectful to you.

Intruder scenario: We have two dogs that bark way too much. This should act as a deterrent or at least an alert. If I fear some type of intrusion, I’m calling 911. That’s part of what the police are for. Frankly I’d rather have the professionals handle this than my amateur self.

#9…Thats fine Scott…obviously you would rather cower than aim. How do you plan to protect yourself and your family in the event of an intruder ? Offer them some apple juice and have a sit-in ? Good luck.

Banning military assault rifles and 30 round magazines won’t deter or stop any future attacks either. Just more liberal “feel good” legislation that only punishes law-abiding citizens.

#13 – “Nothing about banning military assault rifles and 30 round magazines infringes on anyone’s Constitutional rights because there is no Constitutional right to either.”

Ya know, I just took a look at a photo of the members of the Supreme Court.

Oddly enough, you weren’t in the picture.

Until then, I suggest you refrain from telling anyone what right they have or have not.

#11 – Come up with a solution that does not infringe on my Constitutional rights, Sandi, and I’m all ears.

Until then…
