High school shooting in Parkland FL

Nor does your response alter the sheer lunacy of requiring a gun to feel safe .

If you'd rather knee-jerk than discuss, great, that's on you.

You perhaps missed it above, but I don't own a gun. I can, however, understand that in some instances, having a firearm in your home isn't just a matter of "feeling" safe, but actually taking a step to ensure safety. Before you go all strawman on me, I'm not saying it's a cure-all. But If I am a single mother without the means to simply move to a safer neighborhood, what would you suggest? Address the points I've made, already.

1.I never said you did own a gun. And yes it is about feeling safe as probability of you actually being the victim of  a crime is minuscule. And the likelihood of you being in scenario  were a gun will be of any use is even less so . Essentially it's a glorified safety blanket that's more likely to kill you or your family  then any intruder .  

2. I never said nor would would i have implied that it's a cure all .I'm saying it's more akin to a placebo.  

3. I already did in my original comment . I said move or the neighbourhood needs to be fixed when clearly said " or fix that shit " . Funny how jumped on the first point but seems to have ignored the words after that . because as i sad nobody should have to live in such a scenario.
