I've never been burgled either, though.
Plus, as has been pointed out, a gun that is responsibly kept in the recommended locked cabinet is unlikely to be of much practical value during your average home invasion situation, is it?
The thing to do is to move to one of the places in Africa or Asia where a gentleman is still treated
as such.
I would consider Zambia or Cambodia. Laws are for ordinary people only there.
Yes, but you lock your front door, you oddball.
Are you a bit, you know, mean?
Dropping the speed limit to 50!!!! Look at the % of deaths on motorways compared to other roads
they are statistically the safest place to drive.
Harris' argument would only stand up if there were any meaningful statistics to say that the
practical benefits of legal gun ownership in the US outweighed its negatives. He doesn't because he can't. :shrug:
No. Because I don't believe such a measure would make any difference, would be virtually impossible
to enforce, would instantly criminalise most of the population and would have a deleterious effect on the economy.
Point is that no burglar would even try. They're not stupid.
No worries, of course, though, if you are well-to-do and live in a nice neighbourhood with a polite, attentive police presence, some of which may or may not be armed.
While this may reflect the situation in the White House, I gather this is not always the case in the rest of America.
And, of course, something around 75% of fatal accidents on motorways involve heavy goods vehicles.
However, since they represent a vital part of our supply network, there's not much practically to be done about that.
But in those areas, burglars are more likely to go armed themselves, surely?
Essentially, what you're proposing is an arms race. And criminals are always going to win an arms race with law-abiding citizens because - well - they're criminals.
There is a case for raising the spped limit on Motorways only
as braking distances have dropped as technology has improved.
There is a case for reducing speed limits in towns as that is where most deaths occur
