The reason I said I was done in this thread is due to excessive absurdity. I was waiting for Diehardbiker to reply.
One of the biggest defending points for anti-gun control is self defense. The other is to be able to form a militia but that's an entirely other discussion that we haven't even touched here in this thread.
Many of the gun supporters go on this thing called self defense. And when you, diehardbiker, made the claim that there was much worse weapons in the house compared to a gun I wanted to see what could be used in place for self defense.
Yes, I already know the fact anything is capable of killing. Even a sheet of paper.
The real question behind my question was
"Would you take ________ over a gun in a self defense situation?"
While some items are creative and comical, yet not practical here's the 25 item list provided by you guys in this thread:
1) any knife in the kitchen
2) frying pan
3) a box cutter
4) hammer
5) screw driver
6) wrench
7) fire poker
8) candle stick
9) brick
10) rock
11) car
12) baseball bat
13) one cat scratch Would love to see this in a self defense situation
14) single punch to the jaw Would love to see this in a self defense situation
15) Drill
16) Sawzall
17) Lawnmower Who keeps a lawnmower in their bedroom?
18) Miter Saw
19) Propane Torch
20) 12v battery Would love to see this in a self defense situation
21) WD40 and a lighter
22) Red Oak Firewood Not White Oak? Hickory? Walnut? Aspen?
23) Candlestick
24) Lead Pipe
25) wood chipper Would love to see how this is used in a self defense situation. Note: Self defense does not mean AFTER person is restricted and you've defended yourself.
It's my feeling that most of you guys in this thread would reach over to the nightstand with a gun in it opposed to the nightstand with the collection of aforementioned 25 items. This is because a gun is much more lethal than these things.
It's when Diehardbiker said that there are far worse items in the house I just had to ask what. As far as I know the odds of getting the exact science of making that one perfect cat scratch to the artery in a chaotic situation is next to nil. Oh, and ingiting one's home when trying to chase out a robber sounds like an excellent defense mechanism.
Now you see the absurdity of it all?
