Expecting a visit from ICE?
Presumably he lives in Mogadishu.
Don't know anything about Somalia. Perhaps, he needs to move.....I wouldn't advise moving to the US. Canada is nice this time of year!
Typical wingnut post. Hyperbole at its finest.
Locks are only as good as the wall and door they're bolted into. Locks are cheap. Doors and walls are not. I expect I'd wake up if someone kicks in the door or breaks the window!
Do you get into such heated discussions about seat belts and airbags as well? As in, telling people they need just one and not the other? Every tool has a purpose. Different houses have different reinforcement options. You can take reasonable steps to reinforce your home as well as reasonable steps to arm yourself.
ICE and movie villains are smart and sophisticated. People doing burglaries/home invasions these days are likely drug addicts and retards. Are they gonna know the home is occupied? Maybe. Maybe not. Maybe they're too stoned to care.
Are you going to keep pretending paying even for a small upgrade to doors and windows, along with the labor, is cheaper than a gun? Construction work is not cheap. Whether you upgrade to a $200 door or a $1,000, you still need to pay someone to do the work to replace it.

Never said they're useless, but nice strawman!
Right, people who do home invasions can never cause bodily injury or death to the occupants!
Maybe they do not want to be a ****ed up country where mass shooting happen weekly like they do here.

Value added by improvements? Health and emotional benefits to owning a dog? Risks of owning a firearm like accidental death or injury, being overpowered and losing your weapon, suicide, weapon malfunction. Emotional benefits and negatives of owning a firearm, probably a wide variation.Are you going to keep pretending paying even for a small upgrade to doors and windows, along with the labor, is cheaper than a gun?

How Much Does Window Security Bar and Gate Installation Cost? [2025 Data]
Looking to window security bars and gates? Here’s how much they cost, what affects cost factors, and what to expect during installation.
Contrasting them, actually, to point out the difference between a cheap alarm that doesn't physically stop anyone to an expensive wall that does.
It's value added to the current owner. A buyer might not want bars over the windows, or it might be a knockdown by the time you sell it. And what about people who live in an apartment that doesn't allow dogs or modifications of this sort?
Depends on the dog. An attack dog is not always the best emotional support dog.
You can use a car to commit suicide, too, I suppose, but do you think suicide by carbon monoxide poisoning should be a deciding factor in getting a Tesla or a gas car? Come on, you're really, really reaching hard here!
Thanks for your concern, but I'll keep my rights for now.
Like I said, quite a few variables to factor. Never mentioned anything about banning guns. Just comparing the risks, costs and benefits of the scenario you posted. You have quantified nothing and got defensive over a position I did not mention or advocate. I have absolutely no concern for you just to be clear.It's value added to the current owner.

You're in a total private gun ban thread arguing against me, and your position on guns is already known.
Again, since you seem to have an English comprehension problem. The discussion was the cost of a gun as a defense against criminals vs. Other means to protect yourself. Cost being the main point of discussion. My personal opinion on banning assault weapons is irrelevant. You seem to be unable to quantify all the costs, risks and benefits associated with the discussion of self defense. I can't either since there is a major variable component based on the individual.You're in a total private gun ban thread arguing against me, and your position on guns is already known.
Well, shit! I can't quantify all the costs of seat belts, either, like the potential to hang myself with one!
Strawman with hyperbole. At least you are consistent.Well, shit! I can't quantify all the costs of seat belts, either, like the potential to hang myself with one!
And that means...what, exactly?
It's no more ridiculous than the obtuse argument you presented to hide your obvious opposition to private gun ownership.
I never mentioned gun ownership in any way. My interest was purely from a cost and risk analysis perspective.
Do you do the same sort of cost/risk analysis, including jamming and suicide, when discussing the costs and risks of other items, like seat belts?
Austria aint third world and this is about Austria’s change in gun laws.
Do you always go for the lame emotional fallacy when the best you can manage here is to point out the obvious.
