Do you keep a baseball bat by your bed?

[Anonymous]

Yeah, a “baseball bat” made by Hitachi!

When seconds matter the police are only moments away. People need to be prepared to handle whatever comes their way. How they do that is their decision be it bat, club, pepper/bear spray or gun.

Do you think a rapist is going to break into your room?

Are you on a lot of meds?

Np. OMFG - you are seriously trying to minimize the rape of women in the U.S.??

Just WTAF is wrong with you !??!?

So, you DO think a rapist is going to break into your room?

Rapist could break into anyone's home, idiot. One rape is too many.

Rapists could also not break into anyone’s home - you don’t really think it will happen to you, do you?

DP.

That is like asking: “why do you have an alarm system? You don’t really think it could happed to your house do you?”

No. There is a chance, albeit a small one, that someone will break into your house and an alarm is a deterrent and good in that off chance it happens.

The chance that someone breaks into your house specifically to harm or rape you is absurdly small. Getting a gun to shoot a stranger rapist is absurd. If you’re worried about sexual assault it’s probably going to be your kids coach.

If you want to take that chance for yourself, daughter, mother, or sister, that’s fine. You do you. Nobody can fix your stupidity. Right?

DP but PP is absolutely right. You are free to own a gun for whatever reason, provided you're not a felon. We are free to judge your uninformed reasons for owning one.

Felons are allowed firearms in their main dwelling for defensive purposes in many areas. Some states have some silly rules about that, but for the most part self-defense is still recognized albeit in a limited manner.

Rape is better than a gun murder. I’d rather the rape occur than to see more gun violence or dead babies.

The prohibition on possession by felons is federal and does not provide for a “dwelling defense” exception.

Wrong. That's for purchasing, not possession.

State laws allow for possession on personal property, but still not for purchasing firearms or ammunition, so someone has to provide it to them.

Laws are being overturned for certain felons to vote again, and will be applied to purchasing firearms as well as cannot do one without the other, but that's still in the future for the most part.

Whether or not that is true in terms of any given State, the federal prohibition on felons possessing firearms very much does matter — to the tune of significant legal exposure including but not limited to imprisonment for up to ten years per offense. No conflicting state law would bar federal prosecution.

I could be wrong but I’m not sure there are any federal abortion prohibitions. So I don’t get the logic.

The relevant prior post(s) asserted that some alleged state laws permitted felons to possess firearms for self defense within their residence, and at least implied that such laws would overrule the federal felon in possession law.

This is incorrect as a matter of law.

It also is incorrect as a matter of fact, in that there appear to be five (or six if one counts Vermont) states that permit felons to possess firearms and/or obtain a permit to carry a firearm, but none of them appear to consider at-home defense a relevant factor, suggesting that the prior poster’s assertions, however sincere, are confabulated.
