If the government authorized it, I'd go along with it. That's a case where the government authorized them to have guns. Quite different.
Oberon the government should take their guns once they're finished.
Or maybe they don't want to gamble with alternatives that would greatly increase the risk of them coming under harm from an attacker, who if you're a woman being attacked by a man, has an large advantage over them.I didn't say it was wrong. There are alternatives to guns though, and people who seem to want to use guns for defense, never seem to consider alternatives. They just want to use guns.
The government should temporarily authorize them to have guns in case of emergency and then take the guns after. Non-personal citizens do not need guns
Or maybe they don't want to gamble with alternatives that would greatly increase the risk of them coming under harm from an attacker, who if you're a woman being attacked by a man, has an large advantage over them.
Or maybe you don't want them back at your doorstep next week. Next time you may not get the upper hand.
DRT. (dead right there) Problem solved. I don't like looking over my shoulder or wondering what that noise is outside. I want to sleep like a baby.So you're saying that the best alternative IS to kill your attacker?

Oberon I don't entirely trust the government
This wouldn't even be an issue in other countries.
If they had no guns, the whole mess in New Orleans with forming mobs using guns would never have happened.
The government can protect your rights, that's what cops are for
I live in an area where, many nights, we have one law enforcement official on duty for the entire county. I live at one far end of the county. If that one official is at the other end of the county (which is probable because the bar there has issues at times) his response time will be about 90 minutes with lights and siren going and his car doing the fastest speed that can be maintained safely. I know because when I used to be a cop I was occasionally that one official on duty within the entire county. That was before I became a disabled veteran. I have nerve damage in several places in my upper body. I am not frail or anything, but I am in no condition to engage in hand to hand combat with an assailant. Let me ask you, and any other anti-gun folks here this...How does the citizen having the right to own a gun actually serve a purpose?
And you wonder why liberals don't think citizens need guns?
You do have to be careful about shooting at armed intruders who break down your door in the middle of the night, because they might be the police, and they might kill you first.So you're saying that the best alternative IS to kill your attacker?
I don't have any problem with that at all, and I consider myself about as liberal as they come.I keep to myself on my farm and do not ask for trouble. Now, if you want to walk down my long lane and deal with my dog first and then break into my home and set off my alarm and that still does not scare you off, then BANG, your dead.
I really don't understand why you have a problem with that.
Actually, I did once offer to make an attacker some food. It provided me an excuse to get my hands on a knife, which in turn provided him with a reason to leave.2) Make the attacker some food and mix him a drink while he is loading my things into his car.
