Are these people living in real dangerous areas or are they just convinced any unexpected car entering their driveway is out to murder them?

Second similar article in a short period, the other was a pizza delivery that went to the wrong address and got shot at.

Reading between the lines here, it sounds like what happened is the daughter left the house without permission and that pissed off daddy. So he decided to wait by the door with his gun until she came home and then shove a gun into the face of whatever guy dropped her off. I guess he forgot Uber exists. He probably thought a friend or boyfriend was fropping her off.

They THINK they live in a dangerous place. What they don't understand is it's technically true. They are the danger to the neighborhood.

Most liberals and progressives I know own AR-15’s because so many conservatives own them, only it’s the conservatives planning on rounding up everyone that doesn’t look and think like them to be executed.

they fantasize about shooting an invader so much that the first person they see becomes an opportunity. people have shot family members who come home in an unexpected manner or at an unexpected time. they own guns with the hope that one day they can kill someone and feel like Eastwood or whatever.

Hey I mean if you invested in a gun instead of supplying the needs of your family you'd also be looking for an opportunity to blast the damn thing

Someone who walks around with a hammer all day will eventually find a nail.

[–] pyre 1 points 6 months ago

especially someone who fetishizes hammers

I guarantee that these people have never lived in the ghetto. People who pull guns on the regular have more morals and honor than these wannabe cowboys.

People who pull guns on the regular do not have morals and honour lmao
