Gun Control & RKBA
In reply to the discussion: A recent gun nut talking point. [View all]HeiressofBickworth
(2,682 posts)before my 7-year old daughter and I moved in. He, too, was more concerned for my peace of mind and the safety of my daughter than he was attached to his gun. He assured me that it was removed before we moved in. I never saw it again. Yes, peace of mind!
I never worried about anyone breaking into the house. Since it was a small house with nowhere to hide, a bad guy would have done his dirty work before we would have had a chance to get out of bed, locate the gun, find the ammunition, load it, and try to keep someone from using it against us.
Which all leads me to believe that this hysterical attachment to one's guns must rest in some emotional need to pretend to be powerful rather than in any logical plan to use it for self-defense.
