Batman Slapping Robin

Initially one of the first countries after China to contract covid-19, South Korea "flattened the curve" in a hurry.

What did South Korea do right? Read all about it here: https://www.csis.org/analysis/timeline-south-koreas-response-covid-19

People with guns need to sleep sometime. People cant even stay focused for an 8 hour shift. I would like to see the general public stay vigilant for 24 hours a day for 365 days a year. Ever bow hunt for deer in a tree stand? The mind starts to wander, but imagine doing that day after day while doing other survival activities. It is a fantasy to think that guns alone will keep you safe in a state of nature.

I grew up hunting in Oregon. I went through hunter education in freaking middle school and my marksmanship is rock solid. I am a mountaineer, backpacker, and general outdoorsman. I have nothing against guns, but flooding the streets with guns that are being sold to unqualified consumers will not help anybody (especially them).

Plus, honestly, people in their prime who need a gun to defend themselves are f**king pussies. I just wrapped up a case where some dude broke into my house while I was at home, and I chased him out of my house with an ice axe (got pics of his car too) while he had a firearm. Fight or flight baby, who here has either seen someone killed or killed someone themselves with no training? It is not as easy as it sounds. I was also robbed at gunpoint while returning home from work. If I had been carrying, I would have gotten my ass shot. Know your limitations.

Oh, and evey generation of my family has served in the US military since WWI. My grandfather's brother got the medal of honor in the Pacific during WWII (J. Cicchetti, Philippines). He died saving 14 people, so I dont want to hear that I am not patriotic.

Stockpiling guns and ammo might make you feel safe, but if things really go to shit they wont actually keep you safe. Scary, but real.

The guns aren't for a state of nature, they are to defend your home from looters when everyone is broke in 2 weks due to not having a job. Rest assured, you will be awakened by the noise when someone tried to kick your door in.

The good news is, every person is qualified to own a gun, so no guns are being sold to unqualified purchasers.

If you had shot that robber instead, you wuld have prevented all his future crimes. Thanks to you, he will now be able to rob more houses later. And not all criminals are like him, some may have shot you. You never know who is breaking in or how rational they are.

I care little for your employment history. What I can tell you is when there is a big crowd of looters I will know about it, and they will not be robbing my house.

Yeah, that's why you have the people living with you taking shifts and shouting for help if someone tries to come in. I put up a sign that says "Trespassers will be persecuted to the fullest extent of the law (see 2nd amendment)."

I haven't seen any mentally Ill people here? Perhaps you can point them out for me?

Can you explain to me how defending one's property constitutes mental illness?

Again, I'm aware of which, you're replying to. I don't understand where the mental illness is. Could you point it out for me?

Ah, I see your point now. My mistake, I thought you were implying that people buying guns was somehow mental illness.

Now that I see you meant JosefMengle was a moron for implying that an able-bodied person has no use for a gun, it seems we are in agreement.

I wholeheartedly agree, you have here since 2011. As someone who has overcome multiple mental health diagnoses to become a biochemist, I am pretty confident that I pull my societyl weight. What do you do, boy?

And yes, there is a difference between criticism and ad hominem. Look it up. When you post calling people derogatory names that is literally an ad hominem. Get outraged, you have nothing better to do, snowflake.

Tell me, if someone breaks into your house with a machete or a gun, how do you plan to repel them?
