thats exactly what i love about it. anyone who fucks with me, my property or my family gets the lethal lead projectile. whats not to love?
so the alternative to your scenario is that i dont own a gun, someone comes into my house with one and now i'm really screwed. sorry, your argument holds no water.
Throwing a rock or a baseball also propels a potentially lethal projectile. Shooting is no more harmful than any other sport. Real men know what I mean!
What's the big deal? I ask you, what could possibly go wrong an a campus if a lonely, socially inept with a grudge and a paranoid delusion student came armed to the teeth?
