[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Because a semi-automatic  is the best possible gun for protecting oneself in a home invasions.  that's why the police use them.  That's why registered gun owners have them.  If the bad guys have them too, then I want one (preferably with a red scope so I don't miss).  Less chance of collateral damage.  Less change of blasting through a wall as you would with other long guns.[/quote]

Personally, I don't mind if you feel the need for something like that, especially if you live way out in the boonies. But it probably won't save you in a home invasion unless you have the gun right next to you at all times, then, statistically speaking, you are more likely to shoot yourself or someone else by mistake than your home is to be invaded.[/quote]

Your likelihood of being a victim of a home invasion is generally lower than your likelihood of being struck by lightning which means it's actually more reasonable to walk around inside a faraday cage than it is to sleep with a loaded gun under your pillow or in your nightstand.  Think about how crazy that actually sounds.  Let it sink in.  And, if you genuinely and seriously DO have some kind of unique risk of home invasion then that's more an indication that you live in a really shitty neighborhood and should probably move, and let the police take care of it.

Meanwhile, the PP is also very much correct in saying that the mere fact of having a gun in your home significantly increases your chances of someone in your home being injured or killed by a gun.  It's a sad fact, this is what the data shows.[/quote]
