Great idea but your kid is now dead.
(heres where Evil1 replies "oh yeah...what was the chance of that?")
Not much, but is it impossible?... far from it.. in the end, he'd be dead while mine would be alive.
Enjoy your life as nothing more then a shithead and a helpless target of superior reasoning.
Okay, parody aside, your argument is that it's possible I might need a gun and then, idiot that I am, I won't have one. Well, I might need a bilge pump, too, but I don't have one. Do you? And then the situation arises where your basement is flooded (or your bilge) and you are up a well-known tributary with no mode of locomotion.
Quite frankly, you probably MIGHT need lots of life saving things even more than a gun, but I bet you don't have them. More people are killed by heart attacks each year than by criminals with guns, but I bet you don't have a home defibrilator, do you? Anaphylactic shock from bee stings or spider bites, food allergies, and so forth also kill more people than criminals with guns, but I bet you aren't prepared for that eventuality, either. Still, by golly, you've got your gun and if that criminal shows up, THAT is the situation it's most important to be ready for.
Why?

Bees are necessary to nature. I like bees. Criminals are not necessary. I don't like criminals. That is why.  |
