Just need to arm those 90 lb female joggers in Central Park with loaded guns. Not only that, but they need a finger on the trigger at all times because, you know, rapes are always anticipated just enough in advance to where the victims can grab, aim, and shoot their guns to neutralize the attacker.


You are completely out of your depth on this topic.

I do think we'd be better off if no one had guns but just think about the practicality of the government coming to everyone's house and confiscating guns. The right wingers would lose their shite and it would just further divide our country. That shite might fly in Australia but it would probably cause another civil war here

Certainly true for most gun owners. I don't have a problem with that, but let's be honest.

Most people who are breaking into your house just want your fricking TV! You think that people are coming to murder your family? How many fricking enemies do you have?


Usually true also. But not always. For example, actress Fran Drescher would disagree:

[quote]two armed robbers broke into Drescher and Jacobson's Los Angeles apartment. While one ransacked their home, Drescher and her friend were raped by the other at gunpoint. Jacobson (Drescher's husband) was also physically attacked, tied up, and forced to witness the entire ordeal.

Happened to a couple here in DC too. Their marriage did not survive.

Violent crime would drop significantly if every single gun in the US was confiscated. However, not only is this impractical, it is nearly impossible. Criminals, by nature, don't follow the law. If you make guns illegal they will find a way to get them just as they find a way to get drugs. It doesn't take much mental capacity to see this.

Funny thing is... Australia still has pretty significant gun and violent crime.



Yep. Rape went up when the gun laws got more strict.

Nope. If everyone in Central Park were armed (or even a reasonable percentage) the people next to you would take care of matters.

If you were the *only* armed person within earshot then you might have a point.

That was entertaining... coming from someone who is pretty "extreme" on the 2A

Some of the incorrect "facts" were a little annoying though. Lol @ getting guns shipped to your doorstep.

This is not what happened to Australia and the UK when guns were restricted. Violent crime overall went up...

People that listen to comedians and take their political opinions seriously are hilariously dumb.
