Unfortunately, for the reasons already explained...you're simply wrong there.
If you're acknowledging the home defense angle.......then it's being a matter of seconds rather than immediate is irrelevant. It's easy to shoot down. The objection has been levied..even in courts when opposing laws regarding loosened gun control...and it has been overcome. The nutters win that argument everytime, the validity of a firearm for self defense is upheld, and it's no ones fault that they win that argument but the person who proposes it. If we're going to invalidate the use of a firearm for home defense either in the public mind or legally, we have to produce a better quality of argument.
Don't you think that would be productive, to our -mutual- goal of both cultural and legal reform?
