A challenge for those who want to ban firearms

I challenge all those people who want to ban firearms and say you can use an "alternative means of self defense" in case your home is burglarized to try a little experiment.

Get a month's worth of your salary in cash. Put it in your home. Anywhere you can get to it will be fine. (IE: Don't encase it in cement.)

Tell four or five of your very fit and in-shape friends they can have all of that money if they can take it from your home. Warn them about your "alternative means of self defense", but if they can get by that, all the cash is theirs.

Tell them to break in sometime between 1 and 6 AM. They have to find the money themselves. And you won't hold them responsible for any damages they do to yourself or to your home. In writing.

As a bonus, they can't tell you when they are going to do it. And you can't put a time limit on when they can try.

Don't forget when it finally happens, these are supposedly your friends steamrolling over you. See how long that "alternative means of self defense" holds up.

If you have a method that works, please let me know!

4 armed suspects recorded on home invasion

This is a terrifying video of four armed men charging a man's home this last week. What happens next is brilliant. The homeowner defends himself with his own firearm and sends the four armed thugs running.

I would like to take a moment to ask all the anti-gun activists a few questions based on the video.

1) What do you think these four armed men were intending to do, not only to the individual in the home, but to anyone who encountered them in the process of their morning exercise?

2) Since assault rifles are illegal, how do you think the first suspect in this video had one in his possession? EXTRA CREDIT: Do you think the individual was aware or cared if the possession of his assault rifle was illegal? What social situations may have driven him to obtain this illegal assault rifle?

3) If this was happening to your home, what would you have done to solve or avoid this problem? Would your response and the options you take possible and/or available for those with a low to middle class income level to enact in their own homes?

4) Explain why you believe these four armed men may have more and/or equal rights compared to the individual inside the home they were running into. Who do you think has the ability to sue whom? Who committed a crime in this video?

5) Construct a linear timeline based on ten second increments for the following two situations: (A) The time required for the individuals in the video to approach in their vehicle, exit, and run toward the home. (B) The time required to call 911, clearly inform the dispatcher of the situation and location of the incident in progress, and for the police to arrive at the scene. Which is timeline is longer? Which is timeline is shorter? Do you think this may be important?

Not soooo fast!

No swords in England!

First no guns. Now no swords!

A outright ban on samurai swords in jolly old England became law recently.

With the passing of this law, the "selling, making, hiring or importing samurai swords in England and Wales" is now a felony. Those unfortunate individuals caught with a samurai sword "face six months in jail and a £5,000 fine."

As an added bonus, "anyone found guilty of importing samurai swords will face up to seven years in prison and an unlimited fine."

Isn't that just lovely?

I think the best part of the article is this paragraph...

"Eight years ago a councillor was killed by a man wielding a samurai sword in the office of Cheltenham Liberal Democrat MP Nigel Jones."

So let me get this straight.... murders were committed with firearms so the government decided to ban those. Murders were then committed with samurai swords, so the government decided to ban those.

But there are still murders being committed every day! Despite all the laws in place! WTF?

I know what's England can do to fix that.... more laws!

So what's next? Maybe steak knives? How about forks? Eventually I think we will see a ban on rocks! Not just the pointy ones, but the round skippy ones, the decorative ones and perhaps even those rocks you make when you squish enough clay together!

Oh wait... they really are going down that path. The article has a quote from Home Office Minister Vernon Coaker saying "Later this year we will launch a new advertising campaign aimed at preventing young people carrying knives."

Unreal.

As usual, the anti-gun idiots are solving the wrong problem. Evil people will still do evil things regardless of the laws in place. The problem always comes back to personal responsibility. If an individual does not have any sense of personal responsibility, or is denied the means and ability of being self-sufficient, no amount of re-regulation or laws or fines will change the fact they will still do bad things with whatever means they can find.

Anti- gun idiots think the problem is always with an inanimate object. But there's a lot of inanimate objects about!

How about solving the problem the right way? Allow the licensed use of firearms by the general public. Ban nothing. But have severe, medieval-style no compromise laws in place for the instances of firearm mis-use.

I've heard rumors that specialized members of the military can use one or two of their fingers as deadly weapons. Whatever you do, don't let England know about that. A ban on fingers would be next!
