Young man in Texas protects parents from violent intruders

I do not go into the gun control section because the stupid and the rhetoric is painfully high on both sides in there. It is worse than the abortion and ME sections.

Naw, it's not worse than the Abortion board. That's an impossibility. And the gun control board is definitely better than the Zimmerman board.
 
And again, not happening.

Oh Rlly?

 
Happened != happening

Your argument was presaged on the notion that the folks who wanted to remove all guns from private hands were such a minority that they would never be able to exercise political power, and were thus unworthy of concern. You were wrong. It's okay. It happens
 

And your evidence I was wrong was a brief event in response to a catastrophic event. Kinda actually proves me right. You should be used to that.

Um, no. I stated that there were such people. You claimed they were irrelevant. My counterclaim was that in fact those people not only ruled several of our major cities, but in fact that they claimed broad powers during "emergencies" to put their policies into practice. You claimed it would "never happen", apparently ignorant of the fact that it already has.

If you like, it would be the work of a few minutes to quote the entire conversation for you. You made the error of dismissing an actually politically powerful group of people who wish to indeed remove all firearms from the general public, and then you made the error of applying an absolutist negative statement (never happen) to a description of something that had already, in fact, occurred.

Your political overlap with these people has caused you to under-estimate their willingness to trample on the rights of others.
 

Of course charges won't be filed. It's a cut and dry case of self-defense. The kid should get a medal.
 
And a background check and magazine limit would have prevented that how?

It's your move again.

Same as Newtown only this time its the Father's AR-15 that killed the whole family. Those guns just keep turnng up don't they? That's why we need to ban them.

Vastly, overwhelmingly, murder is not committed by "ARs." The firearm that "keeps turning up" is handguns. Of the last 1400 murders in NYC, only three involved any kind of rifle, let alone an AR15. And rifles are legal in NYC if I am not mistaken, and handguns are not. Since firearms are lethal, it would seem you had made your final goal clear.
