Why More Americans Want to Own Guns

[God of Mr. Hanky]

Speaking as a big, brawny (former) thug with a (former) propensity for violence, a firearm is unlikely to stop such a person, unless the gun holder is trained.  Even training doesn't always guarantee success.  You know how many soldiers in a platoon actually fire their weapons during a firefight?  Six.  More likely three - the rest freeze up.  

I've been shot at twice in my life (never hit) and the fact that my opponent had a firearm didn't make the least bit of difference.  Furthermore, the odds of my sharing a house with a Green Beret twice my size who has PTSD are so slim as to be laughable.


Stoopid fucking argument.

Got any proof that I would not learn to shoot faster than I would learn to take down a delusional attacker of twice my size with my own fists?

In the absence of either option being untenable, where police protection is insufficient, then what? Oh, then why would the real-life physical bully who bullies people all over this forum as well give a shit about equalizing our society anyway? It's not even "our" society, with you being the non-American who just has to throw his weight at a society which he knows so little of.
