Biden says... buy a double barrelled shotgun

63. Well, I always try

to give the opposing opinion it's strongest possible case in the best possible light.

IMHO just because there is a continuum between holed up in a compound with .50 caliber machine guns shooting at black helicopters or mailmen on one hand and sitting impotently by whilst a psycho or general scum ties you up and kills you does not mean one has to fall for the 'slippery slope' fallacy and say we can make no law at all.

I fall into the category of having no problem with Bad people being ventilated if they are doing bad things to people they presume are unarmed, easy prey. That doesn't mean that any and everyone should have a gun anymore than any or everyone should have a driver's license.

A different way of saying the same thing is I don't really care about even the most valuable steal-able items enough to feel justified in killing or permanently injuring another human being, but if someone means me or my wife harm then there is no ethical obligation to not defend oneself. As to penetrating danger, what you state is quite contrary to everything I've read, but I've been wrong before.
