Blogcritics: Supreme Court to Rule on How Safe You Are in Your Own Home
On this post to Blogcritics' Supreme Court to Rule on How Safe You Are in Your Own Home, Mark Schannon thoughtfully offers this comment:
"Joey, on one hand, you're taking this thread way off course. I had no idea The Dead bought the Lithuanians tie-dyed uniforms--how thoughtful of them. But that still doesn't resolve the issue of the color of their flag--unless, of course, they started using the uniforms as their flag--which you should have noted!!!
Your second post, alas, is, dare I say it, wrong. Not constitutionally, morally, or legally, but, from my somewhat limited experience, rationally. My brother was a cop for 13 years, 3 of which undercover.
He's told me on numerous occasions that the biggest source of people winding up dead during a robbery or break in is having a gun that, at the last minute, they can't shoot. Turns out the robber takes the gun from them and blows them away with their own piece.
I know--everyone thinks that wouldn't happen to them...but then again, the vast majority of Americans think they're above average in intelligence, beauty, and driving skill.
We can't know what we'd do in a situation this stressful. I haven't researched this further, but my brother, who saw tons of this, says the safest thing you can do is NOT have a gun in your house. Or, if you do, have it linked to an automatic trip alarm--cause most people aren't capable of killing...a nice thought when you think about it.

Hmm, thoughtfulness about the gun issue in the USA is rare these days.
