I wonder how he feels about his "protection" now?
I wonder how he feels about his "protection" now?

I just read one the other day, father thought daughter was intruder and shot through door, killing her. It's fucking nuts.
Something is making a sound in my house ... shoots in general direction of sound.
I mean if that is the story.... Then that is what you get for having the 2nd. That shit is going to happen one way or the other all the friggin time.
edit : Thinking about the numbers and variables I figured that auto deaths should be roughly equal to bullet deaths if you consider homo stupidious to be the driving factor ... so I went looking

ya got it wrong, it's shoot first and shoot again.I mean, shoot first ask questions later....where's the problem.

Yup, God will sort it out.ya got it wrong, it's shoot first and shoot again.
That's the problem. I'm a pro-second guy along with the other rights of people but no right is without responsibilities. Having training in tactics as well as marksmanship with periodic recertification ought to be part of ownership. I learned to shoot at 6, taught by my grandfather who made sure I could cite and understand "the rules" before he let me touch a gun and was instantly corrected (properly) if I erred. That kind of responsibility needs to be drilled in to anyone with a firearm.
blah blah, libtards want to take our guns! That's how 62 million people will read this.
Meanwhile in the real NRA controlled world, states are falling over themselves to pass "constitutional” carry. Getting rid of all training requirements.That's the problem.

For anyone concerned with security I always say there is a specific purchase that should always precede that of a firearm: a dog with working breed characteristics from your local animal shelter. It will adopt your home as it's home and seek to make you happy by keeping it safe, providing a mobile alarm system at the very least. Trained purebreds would obviously be at the top of the scale in terms of effectiveness, but the point is regardless of what you go with having a dogs ears and nose on duty at home is a time tested way of protecting your family, and not shooting them definitely counts.
That dad is a paranoid ass, and his target identification failure almost ended two lives that day. I hope they and everyone in their orbit all become the world's safest shooters now.
That is true but there is a "both sides" in that we have some like the OP who do have confiscation as an ultimate goal. Unlike abortion which has little middle ground possible for a great number of people, I think there could be with firearms. The problem I have is that I don't see that among politicians I could back. Consequently, trust is something I lack when ignorance abounds.
BTW and FWIW, I am "European" when it comes to home self defense in that if I were to rely on a firearm it wouldn't be a handgun I'd pick but a shotgun and shoot as a last resort. The Euros can generally get a shotgun far easier than anything else, and part of the "rules" are when and when not to shoot. Being spooked isn't sufficient on its own. I do have multiple EDC options that do not include a firearm and growing up in less than ideal conditions along with other life events suggests that it's a prudent precaution, but then I'm trained in those options as well. People who are concerned about personal safety would best be served in getting training in some martial art which emphasizes situational awareness and tactics for real-world possibilities.

That's Europe though, this is America:

So what is the core problem then? It's ourselves and our ignorance and tendencies towards violence that is glorified far too often. Life is cheaper than ever and we treat it as such. What do we do about that nature? Pop a cop is funny, a social justice or we are so fearful of everything that we have no perspective or anchor at our collective core. We have no mental health system to speak of and people are afraid of labels, and perhaps with good reason. Had a trouble with a death of a loved one? Well if you had depression once you ought to have that weapon seized (yeah there is some of that) or perhaps a review of meds shows "unfitness" for a job due to moral weakness and on and on.
But "didn't you know the murdering someone is wrong" is often just that. Local culture, national indifference, mental illness and general ignorance. How are those handled? Guns are easy. Producing a society that makes us responsible in our actions towards others?
Now that a problem that people want to shove under the carpet.

People really need to learn the rules and one is to always identify a potential threat. Don't shoot at noises, period.
