Now for some news on how firearms are supposed to serve the people.

(14,337 posts)Just like my husband with his gun in every room, except the bathroom. What if he is on the John when a burglar breaks in? Or what if he wakes up in bed with a barrel in his face while the gun is in the nightstand?
We, and ME, are always hearing these people being SAVED by a gun. Do we EVER hear of the person themselves getting shot? Of course not, because that would defeat their agenda: if everyone owned/carried guns, we would be safe.
Personally, I prefered the post about the old lady and the mangoes!!!!
You.
Sarcasm.

(1,299 posts)Probably because there aren't alot of them, but feel free to post them.
Quite frankly, I don't give a damn about what you husband does, not relevent to the thread.

(14,337 posts)I have, and therefore, my ANTI-GUN views are very relevant. I have a right to my views, and my protection FROM guns.
As the saying goes one person's rights end, where another's begin.

I never said you ANTI-GUN views aren't relevent, you definitly have a right to your views, I said that I don't give a damn about what your husband does, it's not relevent to the thread.

(14,337 posts)People here talk all the time about their wives and kids using guns. Or is it only relevant for "total family" gun ownership?
permatex
(1,299 posts)So he's a gun owner.
Has nothing to do with the thread.

(8,747 posts)Because if I found out my wife was posting the kind of crap you do about your husband, we would have a serious discussion.

(8,747 posts)The fact is we're always asked for "proof" that defensive gun use actually happens.
Then when we do post said proof, we get posts like yours "Well what happens when someone gets shot?"
No amount of evidence will convince those who are already opposed to guns in the home for self-defense, that defensive gun use in the home is legitimate, because their minds are already made up.
And we have plenty of "drive-by posters" who post "X shot Y, the NRA sucks, guns suck, gun owners suck" etc, etc, etc.
