I don t believe that 's true,
but for the moment, let us assume that it is true.
IF u have a criminal or a dangerous animal attacking u,
then statistics are of no concern. To illustrate my point,
suppose that u have a beloved family member or friend
(maybe your mom or your nephew) in your presence
who is being violently attacked in front of u,
then presumably, u 'd like to help out, right ???
U need the emergency equipment that is most likely
to successfully effect his or her rescue, right?? Its not enuf
to call 911 or animal control and wait for the results.
(Historically, that has taken several hours, or several days, sometimes.)
The predator is already
THERE. How long does it take to get killed
or permanently injured??? It is of little avail,
to call out to the
bloody victim about statistics
during the savage fight.
Yes????
Will u agree with me on that, Rex ?
RexRed wrote:David, you can say "BULLoney" the cows come home
but your own "bull" and the FACTS are not matching up...
Its a fact that every predatory event is a
CONTEST OF POWER.
Thus, it behooves the victim to apply
MORE power against the predator
than that predator is able to apply against him. Yes?? Am I right or rong about that??
CAN the predator prevail
IF his victim applies more power than he does???
Whatayathink about that ???

Ug; not ofen. U cawt me. I 'm a lazy un-Googler, Rex.
Maybe, I 'll try to do better.

Rex, for years, decades and centuries,
I have advocated that the public schools teach n
train students,
from the
youngest possible years, to learn safe, competent, and accurate
defensive gun handling tactics. Thay shud all get abundant practice, practice
and keep practicing; good thing that its
FUN!
That way, if an emergency arises, competent defense will deploy
reflexively, because of so much training.

Those statistics will serve as a good n competent basis
for exhorting early education in good defensive gunnery practice!

When I carry a spare tire in my trunk,
its purpose protection from flat tires,
NOT a greater priority of promoting tires.
I want all future victims to have
GREATER POWER
than their predators and to inflict poetic justice upon them
by making holes in the bad guys where thay don t like it.
When I was younger, I used to go to the movies, primarily
to look at the nice young actresses, of my choice. Ofen,
there was some bad guy chasing them with some kind of
garden tool to be applied as a weapon. I used to wish I cud yell
to them about
GETTING GUNS (maybe a nice MP5)
and doing a job on the predator. MP5s are
very sweet, Rex;
small n compact; its as if Heckler & Koch repealed Newton 's
3rd Law of Motion.
RexRed wrote:You are just simply WRONG and you are advocating
not the protection of a household but the demise thereof.
There are cold hard statistics to back up this assertion.
Historically, those hard statistics have been
hoaxes cooked up by
authoritarians
to trick freedom-lovers out of exercising their Constitutional rights.
Your philosophy exhorts victims to confront violence with
helplessness.
U wish to fight violence with docility.
RexRed wrote:Guns at home more likely to be used stupidly than in self-defense
IF students, in early youth,
have been
sufficiently trained, drilled and repeatedly practiced in
competent, safe and effective defensive battle tactics in school,
then there will be higher intelligence rendered during self defense.
U put me to shame, Rex.
I must admit that I bought such books
that were offered for sale at defensive freedom meetings,
but I did not yet read those statistical books; then thay were lost in a
fire.
I might replace them; I dunno.
RexRed wrote:NO... You can't. So Who is peddling the BULLoney here?
The opponents of freedom of personal defense are, Rex.
IF u
or your favorite person get locked into a lethal struggle,
I hope that your power will exceed that of your predator.
I hope that u will have the necessary equipment to survive the experience.
I did.
