Who seriously leaves shit unlocked anymore? The criminal would break in the same way and fuck them up instead if I did not take his ass down with a gun
Now you're making this into an issue of playing hero and saving the neighborhood rather than self-defense cause the intruder would already be at another house.

Getting into a car wreck is a random chance too. Even if you are a careful driver, you can still get into a wreck because of the OTHER driver's mistake or criminal activity. Just like you are getting wrecked right now
That's not what you said 5 minutes ago. Texting and driving means that YOU aren't looking at the road or being a careful driver, and YOU are putting yourself and other people in danger. Which I guess could be an accurate comparison to pulling a gun out at an armed intruder.
What I'm trying to get at, is that being defenceless is reckless and foolish. Why else do we wear seat belts? Why else do we have a fire extinguisher or fire hydrant. To be prepared for the unexpected
I won't debate the purpose of seatbelts or fire extinguishers, since those are designed for the purpose of saving or protecting people. Guns however, are designed specifically to kill or injure people. Even in a self-defense scenario, you will still have to kill or injure that person who has the gun pulled on you, and he will be well aware of that and will panic, either shooting you or fleeing. But is it really worth gambling your life over how an armed intruder will react your pulling a gun on him?
YES! Die on your knees or fight on your feet, which do you risk?
Neither.

I won't need to pick any of the above if I hide. :)
Criminal finds you, dead. Well sir, great debate we are having. Criminals love to search houses that they think are empty of people.
Unless his aim was to simply rob your possessions.

And looky here, now our debate has come full circle, and we're repeating what we said before.
This just goes to show you, debates are pointless Obama
I don't care for any US political parties, believe me. US politics are fucking retarded.
Well, the way you are arguing, Obama and his party would love you.
The love would only be one way then, and I'll have to friendzone them. :/
They could still rape you in the friendzone. Hence why self-defense is important
They can't rape me in a country where they have no jurisdiction.
Or really? Who is the global leading currency. America! What we do, could and probably will affect you.
Of course it would. The world is very interconnected. Just in the same way that outside events can, have, and will affect the US.
Yep. The terrorist walk down our streets and gun down people... wait, how can that happen when they get shot by random citizens who are carrying?
I'm not talking about that sort of stuff. But tell me how many shootings have been stopped by random citizens who were carrying. Because I have yet to hear of one. All of them end with their suicide or when the SWAT team comes.

And most shootings end up with 1 or 2 deaths, if any. And the ones where more people have died, the attacker made preparations for dealing with carrying citizens.

I agree with what you're saying.

Sounds like what you are thinking of sort of resembles the sort of Socialism they have in Europe.

Capitalist systems are cancer which just promote the idea of making shitloads of money, then wasting it all on useless garbage.

The Flood / Re: What would it take for you to join the army?
« on: March 18, 2015, 10:34:26 PM »
An invasion of the United Stated mainland. I'd probably go for the marines though.
....Problem with US doctrine is that it's highly offensive. I don't see how being a Marine would be useful for defending the US mainland. Unless you defend by attacking.

Army would be better.

I imagine the Marines would be used to attack FOBs setup by the invading force while the Army defends fortified positions. Marines are more quickly deployed, and don't require Congressional approval to be used by the President, so they'd be a first line of defense. That is assuming, of course, that the invasion force isn't royally buttfucked by submarines, artillery, air strikes, and cruise missiles first.
Yes, Navy would be the best, since they'd probably stop any invading force before they get halfway across the ocean. And I didn't know that Marines could be deployed without Congressional approval. That's... interesting.

Why did they even let you handle guns when you were that young? I didn't shoot my first gun until I was 17. And even then, I never really got into shooting guns. Never clicked for me.
That's because you started to so late! :D

My parents wanted to teach me while I was young so I could defend them if something ever happened in which they could not use it themselves.
Unless you train with a gun a lot and know exactly what you're doing, pulling a gun out at a burglar or armed intruder actually increases your likelihood of being fatally shot.

Too many unknowns for guns to be good for self-defense.
That was funny. It sounds like you said if I picked up a gun as a kid, the bullet would do a 180 and hit me in the face, right?
Uhhh...

No.

I mean it'd cause the burglar to shoot you before you get the chance to open fire. Cause you holding the gun is an unknown factor from his perspective, so he'd react to it by simply shooting you before you can aim the gun at him.
If a burglar breaks into your house, with a gun, their intention is to rob and shoot you and must be treated as such. He could have kidnapped me, raped me or shoot me if I didn't have that gun or know how to use it.
The shooting you part isn't true.

Sometimes that's his intention, sometimes it's not. But if you pull a gun on him, then his intention will sure as hell be to shoot you, cause now his life is on the line regardless of whether he planned to shoot you or not before.
And once justice catches up with him, it'll be murder of a miner. So the criminal doesn't care if he is or isn't following the law. Why should I ever have my right to defend myself lost, just because I am young?
There's a big difference between armed robbery and murder. And let's say I'm doing heroin or vandalizing something. Would this mean I'd go straight to murder just because I'd already be breaking the law?

Armed robbers, assuming they're carrying guns, do so pretty much solely for the reason that it'd scare you enough to comply with their demand, whether it's giving them your possessions/money, or whatever.
Lol, and all that is okay for the reason why I shouldn't know how to defend myself? Also, you can't plead insanity if you are drugs.
Because not everybody has the time to learn how to use guns properly. Chances are, they will be working a 9-5 job, and will be too exhausted once they return home to even think about learning how to use a gun. And you're getting confused by what defending yourself means.

Defending yourself would be hiding, or trying to stay away from the burglar. Pulling a gun out at a person who already has a gun pulled out is just idiocy which will get yourself killed.
Sounds like an excuse to me. There is always time to learn! Fight or Flight brah
How about you get a 9-5 job, and see how much energy you have left by the end of the day. And there always is time, but why should you prioritize trying to learn to handle a gun for a what-if situation rather than trying to connect with friends, or going out to eat, or vacationing?
Lol.. Are you serious!? Ever heard of weekends? Kids make friends at school or take trips on vacations. Being a parent is a JOB!
Yeah, and that's the stuff you'll be doing on weekends. Why should someone learn how to use guns when they can do all of those things I mentioned earlier?
Because making friends and going on vacations don't teach you how to defend yourself, it teaches you how to have fun, goof off and live a little. And if too excessive with those careless activities, it could lead to bad parenting.
Very few people actively think about what would be the best for them in the sole case of a burglar breaking into the house over trying to have a life. Like, I'm not gonna go back home from classes tomorrow thinking "Hey, what could I do today to learn more about self-defense and how to handle guns!". And if you're a parent, you'll have even less time to learn how to practice self-defense cause most of the free time you spend home is going towards raising your kid.
And teaching your kid proper defense of a life is RAISING YOUR KID! That and teaching a life is prescious and shouldn't be taken too lightly.
Which is something very few parents have the time, let alone desire for.
Then they shouldn't be a parent if they can't take the time to sit down, talk with their kids and raise them! Parents don't talk to their kids. They just assume they'll learn common sense all on their own.
Why should a parent teach something to a kid that has only a 1 in 1,000 chance in happening?

And honestly, just locking your doors and windows is a more effective way to stop burglaries than is learning how to handle a gun. And it takes like 5 minutes to explain to a child how to lock windows and doors. While it would take months, if not years to properly train a kid how to use a gun.
1 out of a 1,000?.. Nah, that could never happen to me. Just like texting and driving won't ver get me into a wreck.

Criminals can shoot out locks on doors, smash in windows. My parents taught me that too.. Wow.. those defenses stopped the seriously dangerous crimminal
And why would the criminal go through all that trouble to shoot the lock or smash the window, both which are extremely loud and would probably wake up the entire neighborhood, when he could just go nextdoor to the house whose doors and windows are unlocked so he could waltz right in.

And even if he were dumb enough to smash the window or shoot the lock, it would wake you up and give you enough time to hide somewhere safe where he won't see you.

Not to mention that texting and driving is a stupid comparison to make, since that is something you are doing. While a criminal seeking out your house is a random chance. Unless he's a hitman,

Unless you train with a gun a lot and know exactly what you're doing, pulling a gun out at a burglar or armed intruder actually increases your likelihood of being fatally shot.

Too many unknowns for guns to be good for self-defense.
That was funny. It sounds like you said if I picked up a gun as a kid, the bullet would do a 180 and hit me in the face, right?
Uhhh...

No.

I mean it'd cause the burglar to shoot you before you get the chance to open fire. Cause you holding the gun is an unknown factor from his perspective, so he'd react to it by simply shooting you before you can aim the gun at him.
If a burglar breaks into your house, with a gun, their intention is to rob and shoot you and must be treated as such. He could have kidnapped me, raped me or shoot me if I didn't have that gun or know how to use it.
The shooting you part isn't true.

Sometimes that's his intention, sometimes it's not. But if you pull a gun on him, then his intention will sure as hell be to shoot you, cause now his life is on the line regardless of whether he planned to shoot you or not before.
And once justice catches up with him, it'll be murder of a miner. So the criminal doesn't care if he is or isn't following the law. Why should I ever have my right to defend myself lost, just because I am young?
There's a big difference between armed robbery and murder. And let's say I'm doing heroin or vandalizing something. Would this mean I'd go straight to murder just because I'd already be breaking the law?

Armed robbers, assuming they're carrying guns, do so pretty much solely for the reason that it'd scare you enough to comply with their demand, whether it's giving them your possessions/money, or whatever.
Lol, and all that is okay for the reason why I shouldn't know how to defend myself? Also, you can't plead insanity if you are drugs.
Because not everybody has the time to learn how to use guns properly. Chances are, they will be working a 9-5 job, and will be too exhausted once they return home to even think about learning how to use a gun. And you're getting confused by what defending yourself means.

Defending yourself would be hiding, or trying to stay away from the burglar. Pulling a gun out at a person who already has a gun pulled out is just idiocy which will get yourself killed.
Sounds like an excuse to me. There is always time to learn! Fight or Flight brah
How about you get a 9-5 job, and see how much energy you have left by the end of the day. And there always is time, but why should you prioritize trying to learn to handle a gun for a what-if situation rather than trying to connect with friends, or going out to eat, or vacationing?
Lol.. Are you serious!? Ever heard of weekends? Kids make friends at school or take trips on vacations. Being a parent is a JOB!
Yeah, and that's the stuff you'll be doing on weekends. Why should someone learn how to use guns when they can do all of those things I mentioned earlier?
Because making friends and going on vacations don't teach you how to defend yourself, it teaches you how to have fun, goof off and live a little. And if too excessive with those careless activities, it could lead to bad parenting.
Very few people actively think about what would be the best for them in the sole case of a burglar breaking into the house over trying to have a life. Like, I'm not gonna go back home from classes tomorrow thinking "Hey, what could I do today to learn more about self-defense and how to handle guns!". And if you're a parent, you'll have even less time to learn how to practice self-defense cause most of the free time you spend home is going towards raising your kid.
And teaching your kid proper defense of a life is RAISING YOUR KID! That and teaching a life is prescious and shouldn't be taken too lightly.
Which is something very few parents have the time, let alone desire for.

If you pull out a gun, the burglar will feel threatened and immediately shoot you. And in most liklihood, he'll know how to handle a gun better than you do.
In my experience, Hispanics will flee as soon as you level or one-up the playing field.
Pulling out a gun is a wild card. Sure, it could make the armed intruder flee. But it could also cause him to panic and put a bullet into you.
