You could also inform the police that there is a scammer, video the guy and post it on social media to expose him or get into a fist fight with him. While the last option has other problems it’s not likely to lead to death.
Much easier to kill anyone who crosses you, pulls into your driveway, gets into your car, loses a basketball in your yard, or is just really really annoying. Just stand your ground man. Anyone who slights you deserves what's coming to them.
Too many people think this way. This is the fundamental problem with firearms. Yes firearms are powerful and relatively easy to use. Those who advocate them for self defense are correct they are “force equalizers” so someone who isn’t very strong or fast can match force with a larger stronger opponent. The problems with ease of use and having that power in literally the palm or your hand is temptation to use it. As a smaller person yes with skill you can handle a larger stronger person. That though takes a lot training. Through competitive martial arts the process is difficult and painful and sometimes to get good. That process makes you respect the power of martial arts and as such generally most highly trained martial artists don’t get into fights outside of the dojo or ring. For firearms without learning to respect that power is what leads to a lot of what we see with people shooting others at slight provocations. People wanting to openly display their weapons during political protests. And people taking their own lives when they are depressed because the means are there and easy.
Yes. Which is why I've advocated safety class requirements and refreshers every few years to own a firearm. Not only will that increase the respect for firearms which will reduce some of the shootings, it will help people be aware of proper storage, reduce accidental shootings, and possibly even suicides. In addition it generates income for people that teach those classes. Everybody wins.
Guns don't kill people though. People kill people. Guns are safe. We need to address the people, but giving crazy homicidal maniacs guns is not the problem.
who are the republicons gonna blame it on this time? the mexican cartels and open borders? Them fools got more narrative than Dr Seuss.
Damn. The surviving minors have a very tough road ahead of them. When authorities arrived at the location, they found several victims shot at the property, police said. Three of the deceased were females and two were males, including the youngest, an 8-year-old boy. Two female victims were discovered in the bedroom lying on top of two surviving children, authorities told ABC News. Three minors were located uninjured, but covered in blood. They were transported to a local hospital. Police said they believe the massacre occurred after neighbors asked the suspect to stop shooting his gun in the front yard because there was a baby trying to sleep. "My understanding is that the victims, they came over to the fence and said 'Hey could [you not do your] shooting out in the yard? We have a young baby that's trying to go to sleep," and he had been drinking and he says 'I'll do what I want to in my front yard,'" San Jacinto County Sheriff Greg Capers told KTRK. Capers told KTRK the case went from harassment to a shooting very quickly. He said the shooter was drinking that night; police dispatchers initially confirmed the shooter was intoxicated.
Greg Abbott is to blame for allowing this to happen in his f***ing sanctuary state! He has so much blood on his hands but loves that green money in his pockets more.
Normal and expected with the well-regulated militia. Nearby resident, Veronica Pineda, spoke with KTRK and said she has grown accustomed to neighbors shooting firearms in the area. "There's always shootings, there's always shooting," she said to KTRK. "There's always people calling the cops and there's nothing being done." She said that neighbors would frequently shoot firearms on weekends and holidays and that the sound of gunshots overnight was normal. "We were in bed and my kids -- I have two babies -- they got scared, and we're like, 'it's normal they're always shooting.'"
