Are you actually blaming the victim for their home being invaded right now?All that rant....,.,.,..
To show me beyond any doubt in my mind that your home had little or no common sense security in place.
You didn't need a gun, imo. You just needed to have spent some money out on your home, rather than on your guns.
And that is why you couldn't, or wouldn't... simply explain how the intruders entered your home.
Gun ownership is already regulated, and the ownership of certain guns is already prohibited.
This knee jerk "Arghhh! Victim blaming!" response any time anyone makes common sense observations really isn't helpful. It is possible to be compassionately concerned for someone's misfortunes while learning from their object lesson; "I'm terribly sorry about the loss of your arm, and I'll happily help you in your rehabilitation and lifestyle adjustments... but maybe swimming in the crocodile tank isn't a great idea in future, huh?"
Oh so you are happy with the state of gun ownership. Cool. I could have sworn you were saying something.
Putting words in people's mouths now? I thought you were all about genuine discussion?
It was only to point out that your response was irrelevant to the questions I posed. Stating we do x, does nothing to answer what we ought do.
"We already regulate guns" seems pretty relevant to me.
And we are already allowed to own guns. That is the point. I question should we do this, and you respond with we already do that, you are evading the question.
It wasn't the victim's home.
That's cool....... No probs.
I don't think that the school-student's demonstrations are about hunting, shotguns, hunting rifles or even basic pistols/revolvers.
They're against the rubbish security at their schools and the fast-fire semi-automatic assault rifles which have featured so often in these attacks. And I don't think that they want their teachers to have to carry the burden of responsibility by having to go armed in the classrooms.
As far as home security goes, it's not a bad idea to review it and make progress with it every now and then. Insurance really doesn't help a person who comes home to find their place turned over........ that's it for many people, they just want to change homes, and the cost of land-agents, solicitors, moving companies blah blah isn't claimable in most cases, nor the lifelong memories of a trashed home.
I could tell when men and women had had enough. If women threw all their clothes out then they were going to leave. With men it could sometimes be different. Men try not to show emotions that they feel as strongly as women so they make excuses for selling a loved previously stolen vehicle, or leaving a burgled home.
Your Boyfriend can (if he hasn't already) go round your place, looking for possible access points. Once discovered you both have to decide how best to get rid of that problem. There are hundreds of things you can do, and some are very inexpensive. And you don't have to live in an inverted prison, because modern locking systems are so quick and easy to use.
It can be very funny watching reality telly when police try to raid a property with even modest replacement windows and doors, as they beat at hinges and locks with special ram-devices and fail, again and again to get entry.
Anyway, see what he thinks......
