"...Dimitri...He talks to me...'.."The Ghost of Greece..".
"..That's One Happy Fuckin Ghost.."
“..That came up on the Pillow Case...This is for the Greek, With Our Apologies.....”
I can think of 3 great reasons to own rifles..riots, looters, and hunting (if you're into hunting..). There is always looting after a hurricane. Living in Miami, I probably should own a rifle..
Your stuff is worth killing someone over? Last I checked, the punishment for theft is not the death penalty.
Who said anything about killing..Regular citizen's have a better record of shoot to injure, not shoot to kill, than cops do..Often the victim just showing they have a gun or firing off a warning shot is all that's needed..criminals don't want to go up against someone who is armed..And during looting, when an armed looter comes up against an unarmed victim, the victim is going to get hurt. It's protection of one's self, not protection of the stuff..

do you have any stats that show that citizens have a better record than cops?
have another question. have you ever faced a person with a gun?

That was more of a snipe I was taking at cops than an actual stat..but according to the official report for 2011(they don't have the 2012 one yet) 2.5 million crimes were stopped cos the victim had a gun, but less than 1000 gun deaths were the result of a victim or cop firing at a criminal..
And to answer your other question, no I haven't, but I know a couple folks who were. One got mugged, the other got raped. No wait..I take that back..There was a crazed driver in Chicago who aimed a shotgun at me because I had the audacity not to run someone off the road just to get out of this nutcase's way faster.

thanks for answering, the reason I ask is because so many people believe that it is easy to shoot and kill someone esp. if they have a gun.
Military people go through alot of training to be comfortable in shooting at someone who is shooting at them.
