The fact of what you find ridiculous? Yeah, don't bother me with that.
Applying statistical averages to the individual case is an argumentative fallacy. The fact, that you would ignore, is that I can take preventative action against improper usage of the my weapons. I can't do much to stop gangbangers from shooting at my house, or trying to set it on fire, or local crackheads from trying to break in my backdoor, which have all happened. That last one was the final straw, I'm not leaving lives up to chance or hope.
You've said that AR-15s are not suitable for home defense, in any scenario apparently, why? It is easier to aim, especially with a red dot, has less recoil, a larger magazine just in case, and it has less penetration than my .40 S&W. It is in nearly all respects superior to a pistol.
Why did you cut my statement off? A door doesn't protect the whole home, sometimes you can't sit back and do nothing.
Anytime I might be faced with more than 2 people out to harm me or anyone I'm protecting I'm going to want as big a magazine as doesn't cross into unwieldy.
And now your imagination has kicked into gear to attempt to tar me by false association to a position I have never advanced.
