Gun owners: If there were an exchange program so you could trade your guns for security cameras, pepper spray, a bullet proof jacket, a fence and a gate, would you trade?
Nope!! Have ll that too. Bad guys will always have the guns. Especially when state like California have lowered the penalty for crimes with guns. Average cop response time 7 mins. Average gun fight 2 seconds.
When and where do you anticipate to have this gun fight? I've heard of a mass murder where a random gun owner saved the day. Help me understand
20 years ago sitting in a restaurant at lunch packed house, man and woman get in argument, manger comes over and asked the man to leave or he will call cops. Man leaves, comes back in 5 mins later, manager approaches him, man shoots him in the head then shoots girlfriend. Restaurant scatters and my life and friends lives change forever. Restaurant closes. http://articles.latimes.com/1996-06-08/news/mn-12794_1_man-restaurant-shooting
Stop trying to take my guns. I dont have to explain why i need an AR15 or Bump Stock, its might right. What you should be saying is "I want to take your secondment right away" and see how far you get because that is what you are asking.
Hehehe. I don't intend to keep them with myself. That would be pretty funny. You still have the right to a taser and pepper spray. Why don't you insist on having bombs too?
Are you saying I don't have bombs?
Agree... I don't trust police to save my family... They are to busy spending time and resources on revenue producing activities such as registration tab pull overs. And I don't trust government to keep power in the hands of the people. So if the people need to take it back, we can. An armed electorate keeps government in check.
This is not America 200 years back....nobody is attacking you and your family...only scenario I can think of is living in some country side or some jungle. Otherwise I donβt know if you have created a scenario in your mind(planted) or otherwise to save you and your family. Go to other parts of the world nothing like that happens

Naw. Only if a rocket launcher was part of the deal.
Lol pepper spray.
Why would I need a bullet proof vest if you do a gun buyback? Isn't that supposed to make all the guns disappear? Oh, the bad guys still have guns? Huh...
Checkmate.
It's the first step toward reducing guns.Once people feel safe without guns, we can continue putting more legislation in place with less pushback
OP, would you trade your first amendment right to free speech for a group of trustworthy representatives that have your best interests at heart?
The first amendment was written before the internet, people's voices are fully automatic and way too powerful now. We should go ahead and abolish that amendment as well. /s
OP already did that trade if OP lives in a state where peaceful protesters are charged with felony conspiracy to riot. Or if OP decides they don't want an oil pipeline running through their water supply, or if OP lives near farms with Ag. Gag laws... It's really too bad there isn't an NRA for each of the amendments. Private prisons have been making a huge dent in the 13th amendment. Article 2 got flushed down the crapper with the surpreme Court nominee block? Thats treason. Where's your fake outage on that? Don't pretend to respect the constitution. You were given the right to bear arms to stop a tyrannical government, but whenever tyranny happens, you lick that boot. You love that boot because it never seems directly on your neck, so why do you need a second amendment?
What I think you don't understand, is that guns are not simply about protection from other humans. There are a multitude of uses that are normal, lawful, and safe. Expand your horizons beyond your isolated metropolitan area, and you'll realize that many of your peers are avid hunters, sportsman, and landowners that use firearms almost daily in perfectly lawful ways. And quite frankly, they don't have to justify to you why they purchased them.
Not to mention defense is not bound to the home or 1:1 encounters. It also includes small business defense from burglars and rioters, deterrent for tyranny, etc.
Stop explaining the need for guns, ITS YOUR RIGHT. Do you explain you have free speech?
Oh shit! You invented a bullet proof jacket!? Start marketing that thing now man! You're going to be rich! There's no such thing as a bullet proof jacket, vest, helmet, etc. They're bullet resistant and, realistically, they don't stop much. The components that do stop common rifle rounds are too heavy, bulky, or inflexible to be practical. You'd also need to work on bullet proof helmets, gloves, socks, underwear, pants, etc as well as solve the issue of things like arm holes for starters. If you want to do a buyback program you also need to do it at better than market value. Why's it "work" in Australia? They gave you $800 for a $200 gun so you could go buy two more guns and still have money left over for a pallet of Foster's (it's Australian for beer). Here they offer a $100 gift card in exchange for a $20,000 gun. Your $30,000 car isn't fuel efficient, so I'll give you a $100 credit towards a Tesla in exchange for it. You in?

Read your own source. NIJ IIIA rating is his highest ballistic protection. Won't stop any rifle round, many handgun rounds, and has many weak points where it won't do anything at all.

Seattle people, what cars do you have? π
Never, I am buying a bump stock and suppressor soon. And one day I will buy a full auto when I have $30k to spend in one.
Where will you use those?
When I go shooting. Shooting is allowed on blm land. And Utah has tons of that. Also on a friends land (10000 acres). There are many places one can use those.
