I need to have a gun to support the idea of limited government, and to support a specific candidate... well if you say so:confused: It's not a question of cognition, it's just an unnecessary risk... I could dig a pit near my front door and fill it with punji sticks...or wrap a 100,000 volt 100 amp electric fence around my yard...it would solve a problem that I don't have, and introduce more risk into the situation than it neutralizes... As with this case, the old timer wasn't being robbed, he just fired on and killed his own child. Great job, now your gun, instead of protecting your family from a threat that wasn't really a threat, you've killed one of your own children because of a misunderstanding.
