SHOOTING at the OLYMPICS

[JG4_Helofly]

@ outlaw For your, taking a life doesn't seem to be a big deal. If someone is in your house: fire at will. What do you make of all the people who died because of the use of a gun in a defensiv situation? I am talking about unarmed burglars, people standing near by etc.
You can't just kill anything that might want to attack you. I don't know the law in the US, but here your life must really be treatened in order to use deadly force.

For the pepper spray I learned that there is a small percentage of people who are not affected by it. That's true, but as I said, hitting a target in a high stress situation without training, will have no effect if you miss. I saw people shooting 10 rounds at a static target in training situations without any round in a vital spot. Remember the FBI statistic. And what if the attacker manages to take your gun from you and shoot you with it? Especially in close quarter (like a house) a gun is not the best option.

As for your question, I can only say this. I didn't advocate the interdiction of guns. But as I wrote earlier: using a gun for defense is not the way to go for many reasons I mentionned before. It will ony result in more death.

You must be a very scared man. Maybe you should think about the fact that you have a greater chance to die in a car accident then to get shot.

As you see we won't agree on this topic. So let just agree to disagree.
