Really? So the five armed men that shot at the house three doors down from me last month weren't more of a threat than had they been unarmed?
They would have been less of a threat had the innocent law-abiding citizens at whom they were shooting had been armed.:dunce::duh:

Who said the people they were shooting at were unarmed? What about the children that were playing outside. Should they be armed too? How old is old enough? Should we be letting 5 year olds get concealed carry licenses? More guns is not the answer.

The shooters were 20 feet away from me. They could easily have killed me or numerous others. I still don't want a gun. Being armed doesn't equal safety. The owner of the house owned a gun, guess what? They guys just kept coming back, coming back until the cops caught them. Letting the police do their job helped the situation. Owning a firearm did not. In fact, it just made it worse.

That's all you have to say? I was describing ONE incident that I actually experienced. You made a claim, I showed you that you were wrong. I have never claimed that there aren't responsible gun owners. I have in fact stated several times that my father is a gun owner and a collector. I grew up with guns. The sad fact is that I have seen first hand many times that the mere presence of a firearm seems to only escalate a situation.

you are far from proving me wrong
and you are avoiding the truth, which is that
criminals do NOT attack when they know someone has a gun

You're joking right? What weird reality are you living in?
It isn't too effective to label or name-call others like some adolescent might do. It is not skillful, adult communication.
It might have been better if you were to try and be accountable for your own emotions instead of projecting them onto another person.
"I don't understand when you say_______."
"I can't believe you because______."
"What you're saying doesn't make sense to me because______."
The point is, you have a wide variety of responses that maintain your own dignity as well as that of others.
TRY AND BE KIND
Antoinette Tuff didn't need a gun. She used nonviolent communication and action, just like Gandhi, Martin Luther King and many Jews during World War II.

In my research as well as in my personal life, nonviolent action works.
