Just wondering, why is everyone against the Gun Control bill?

[Kimon]

You also realize that assault rifles are big and (comparatively) unwieldy in the confines of a house, right? This isn't a video game, you have to worry about things like "will this thing fit down a hallway and allow me to quickly bring it up to aim if i need to?" and such.

Assuming you were smart and had the gun ready rather than slinking it at your feet that shouldn't be your biggest concern.

I don't play FPS games like Call of stuff and Battlestuff 3.

Once every other month, I go hunting with my dad.

Honestly, it's more unrealistic and ridiculous that more than two people would be breaking into my apartment.

So you're saying it's more realistic that you could kill a small group of criminals with a pistol in about 5 seconds than it is that an armed crime might occur with more than one person?

Yeah ok you have fun with that.

Keep in mind that most people live in residential, urban, or city areas. Unless I'm some kind of prime minister, I believe the odds of me being attacked by more than two armed criminals are quite slim.

And just for your information, my first instinct isn't to kill. It's to disarm.

I have a heart you know.

Meanwhile the badguy pops you for charging at him.

Meanwhile the badguy pops you like for charging at him.

Who said I was charging at them?

That's a stupid notion.

I was just jumping to "kill" mostly because they would kill you in an instant if you didn't do anything. Also, You'd be surprised about the group crime, it's actually really loving common in some areas, bringing up the previously mentioned fact that my dad got jumped by about 6 people around 5 or more times when he was younger.

[Harm94]

Because you want to disarm him. Tell me how you are going to disarm a guy with a gun when he has you at a distance. Also stop pretending these things don't happen and read the crime section of the news.

1. I wouldn't just sit there.

2. "Really common in some areas,"

So i guess it just sucks for those losers that live there, right? Who cares about other people?

I'm not pretending these things don't happen. I'm looking at things factually and logically.

Now as for the disarming, this whole scenario has me (the victim) with a firearm (which is "a handgun" that has no specifics disclosed).

Now since it has only been described as a handgun, it could be automatic for all we know.

Best thing to do in that situation without doing lethal damage is to look for their hands.

Not everyone would do this though, so don't apply this to everyone.

Yeah man, that's totally what I meant. You should totally take it in that direction.

[Kimon]

Yeah man, that's totally what I meant. You should totally take it in that direction.

Well what did you mean to say? It came off as implying "well that's only some areas, not everyone would be in those circumstances." Please go into more detail.

[Jaxx]

Yeah man, that's totally what I meant. You should totally take it in that direction.

kimon has this personal preference where he ignores reality and substitutes his own.

[ResonKinetic]

Okay, let's say it is that situation just be mere happenstance.

Mild-mannered John Smith is chilling in his bedroom watching TV with his wife Jane Smith when suddenly, (alpacca out of loving nowhere) five thugs bust through the windows in the other room.

The lights are off, so the criminals are unaware of the presence of the couple.

Immediately, Johnathan mutes the television and reaches for his Colt .45 from his sock drawer!

Silently of course.

He then cracks the door open to evaluate the situation, his mind racing, his adrenaline pumping!

John has the element of surprise on his side. Thinking quickly and humanely, he swiftly opens the door, gets behind his sofa and rapidly pulls the trigger aiming at each criminal's hands.

He probably missed by a hair and hit some of them in their pelvic region or their stomachs. Who knows?

We can't predict these things. The only way to get an accurate reading is to have it happen in a controlled environment.

1.) You have no idea.

2.) So this whole disarming thing you mentioned in a post earlier you aren't going to tell me how you yourself will do it like in the picture below. However your advice is to look at someone's hand which isn't going to do anything.


3.) Machine Pistols are notoriously inaccurate and dangerous to the user. They are favored among drug runners and more organized criminals like cartel gunmen. Most likely you are going to see a 9mm or .45 caliber semi-automatic pistol, either way you are forgeted.

4.) So the best thing to do is look at the gunman's hand? Might as well just say rob me and get it over with.

Wow I'm so upset by a specific group of children on the internet that are trying to upset me with the same exact snarky comment every time.

Anyways, I'm just gonna go ahead and rap this up by saying that I feel like assault rifles could give the upper hand to people who actually need that protection. Some people may argue it's overdoing it, but if it ensures your protection why make it illegal? Plus, the whole no selling guns to people with mental problems is basically Obama trying to pull a Joseph Stalin on us but with the obvious differences.

1. Neither do you, or at least you haven't proven it.
2. That picture is not the discussed situation, and even if it were, I would have a way out of that.
3. You really have no idea what we're talking about, do you?
4. No, you don't just look at the gunman's hand. That isn't the situation at all.
