OtherGround Forum >> Piers Morgan gets owned over gun control

hedfunk must have people around him that feel so safe 

hedfunk - See this where you just start to ignore logic.

Yes, in that last video (I didn't watch the others but I'm guessing they were similar) a criminal is shot and stopped.

What If they'd missed and the criminal shoots them instead? This happens, you have to admit it.

If I confront a burglar in my house empty handed or with a gun, which situation is more likely to end in my death? The one in which the criminal feels he is in most danger.

Yeah losing stuff sucks, but material things can be replaced, your life can't.

It always amazes me that gun control crowd resorts to the "next best" argument.

"What if they miss and the criminal shoots them instead?"

What if it turned out the criminal had no bullets or a non functioning gun, what if even the miss scares the hell out of him? Would that still be a success? This hypothetical can go on and on.



Here is one for you. The criminal in the video didn't cover his face, there are confessions from criminals who didn't cover their faces during robberies that said they walked into the store with the mindset of leaving no witnesses once they took the money.



If you confront a burglar and he has a weapon, you already upped your chances of him using it or at least attacking you. The feeling of him being in danger comes directly from the confrontation, they don't process things like robots, human, arm, gun. They just say oh shit the same way you would. The whole point of a gun is stopping the threat immediately. Homeowners aren't police officers yelling "Stop in the name of the law!" They are shooting the moment they see the burglar face to face, and as long as they reasonably feel the burglar posed a danger.


You also need to realize burglars already know that there is a chance they might be confronted with a gun, so the moment they see a homeowner it is similar to a police officer seeing a bad guy quickly move his hands and they shoot. If their fight or flight kicks in and it lands on fight, you having nothing in your hands guarantees someone is getting hurt and more than likely you, since you weren't expecting a fight.


A gun doesn't mean you have to go to the fight, it just means if the fight is near you or is brought to you, you are better equipped to end it.

RobinHood - Most Americans don't own guns.

Only freaks, cops and crims have guns.

Only a freak expects to be a victim of a home invasion. Seriously, 'I have a gun b/c I expect a home invasion',

Fuck these freaks.

Shogun of Harlem - Hey Brits...



Shut the fuck up!

jasonhightower - It's an ignorant, short sided perspective. Lets just ignore all the root causes and blame the guns. Hell, look at Sweden... They issue guns to all men for military reasons, arming the country in essence, and they have one of the lowest crime rates in the world.

RobinHood -  The number of incidents of 'home invasions' is so low, you have more chance of a seagull pecking your eyes out.

You gun needing freaks need psychological medication.

ksac - So I can has a nuclear weapon then?

Seems like a bearable arm to me... Let me know how it works out and then ill try

Well, it seems to illegal to own one. According to this woman, it shouldn't be so. I may need to protect myself from the government (big argument made against gun control) using the the "same weaponry".

Basically I'm saying the argument is far from being a simple one.

Basically, it shows that Piers Morgan is a moron.

The second amendment was written to protect Americans from douches like Piers Morgan.

lol @ the gun control weenies voting me down a bunch of times because I called hedfunk a stupid moron.  

evad6317 - For RobinHood, GapingAxeWound, hedfunk, and even 3rdLion:

Good thing this woman didn't have a gun, according to your logic, it must be the only reason she's alive.

evad6317 - The US has the highest gun ownership rate in the world - an average of 88 per 100 people. That puts it first in the world for gun ownership - and even the number two country, Yemen, has significantly fewer - 54.8 per 100 people

But the US does not have the worst firearm murder rate - that prize belongs to Honduras, El Salvador and Jamaica. In fact, the US is number 28, with a rate of 2.97 per 100,000 people.
