The 'Americans Getting Shot' Thread

[robuzo]

...What's the obsession with having the gun loaded and ready anyway? Is everyone that afraid???

Yes, they are . . . as would we be knowing some drunk or menopausal neighbour has a gun in their hands

Pathetic - Land of the Free and Home of the Brave . . . perhaps in decades gone past

What good is an unloaded gun prey tell?

Like you gonna throw it at the rapist/burgler/home invader?

Throw it? No, you crack them across head with the stock, duh. Keeping a loaded weapon in the house is dumb unless you have a trigger lock on it, and even then you are taking your chances if you have a kid around. In any case, do you think an intruder looking down the barrel of a 12 gauge will want to find out if it's loaded. Well do ya, punk? (You get the reference, I'm sure- it wasn't, was it?)
