Killing the Hypothetical

[Cinjin]

In that case I could even kill them with a spoon.

Seems like a bit of a pointless poll to me. Or at the least I'm not seeing the relevance of the question, or even how it pertains to a discussion on gun legislation.

I'd be very surprised if anyone would say no, and surprised further still if those who did would actually sit by and watch their loved ones be harmed in the scenario in the OP.

Most everyone would defend their family/loved ones with whatever they had to hand, would they not? So what does this even remotely suggest about guns? A poll asking the same question for knives would be equally as irrelevant IMHO. 

First off, most threads are pointless.  This one is no exception.
Secondly, color yourself surprised.  I've met three people (all women coincidentally?) that said they probably could not kill someone even in defense.  They said at the final moment they don't know that they could pull the trigger.  So the poll is not as stupid as you would like to claim.  Some people just do not have it in them to kill even in defense of themselves or their families.

Someone already answered no to this poll:

No. I am disabled, and of the opinion that to own a firearm, you should have at least a certain level of physical and mental faculties. Somebody with crutches or in a wheelchair should not qualify. So I would never own a firearm, much less kill someone with it. 

I'm American, in America.

(And by the way c172 I know several disabled people who have guns.  It is their only real means of protection.)

Lastly Napo
As for the poll being irrelevant:  You have made my point for me.  A knife a spoon a gun - it matters not.  Killing is killing but a gun is a major advantage over any other weapon and the thread that I'm referring to was not titled "Knife Control" and there is no 2nd Amendment defending cutlery.
