Call me skeptical, but how many criminals have you or anyone else here actually stopped with firearms ?Why are so many of you threatened by this? What do we lose here?Please lay off the pejoratives. I may be crazy, but I won't hurt you, I just want to make our nation great (and safe) again.
Freedom is great. What you propose is not.
I lose the freedom to defend myself and my family against criminals who will have no fear about breaking down my door in the middle of the night. The deterrence of my firearms will no longer be valid.
Why do you think cities with strict gun laws have such high numbers of shootings? The victims have no recourse to defend themselves.
The fact that I own them is the deterrent. People will not break into my house if they suspect I might have a handgun/rifle/shotgun because they don't want to get dead.
I guarantee that anyone attempting to break into my house will have a hard time doing so because I have dogs that will raise the alarm and my weapons are handy.
it is probably likely my neighbors do also as I surrounded by veterans and active duty army. Those are houses where guns live.
How do they know you have guns in your house and not to rob you? Do you leave spent shells in your front lawn? Do you use your mailbox for target practice?
