Brave 15 Year Old Defends Himself and His Sister with AR-15

[QUOTE="Chaos_HL21"]

[QUOTE="worlock77"] I would say that the kids should not have been left home alone. Now how's about an answer to my question?worlock77

Well 15 years old isn't really a kid, That is old enough to be home alone to baby sit his 12 year old sister.

But I would restate your answer they shouldn't of been left home alone without the right training. But that wasn't the case.

I did answer your question. But the fact it seems the kid wastaught how to handel weapons correctly. The right training really helps cut down on accidents.

[QUOTE="nocoolnamejim"]I love how we keep getting gun rights advocates coming in with stories like this, but none of them ever bother bringing up that STATISTICALLY, having a gun in your home, ANY home, makes you more likely to die from a gun related death and stories like this never include how often those brave kids accidentally shoot themselves, their family members, or their friends.JohnF111

The point is that guns are supposed to make you safer, when in fact it does not make you safer. Cars are not designed to protect you from other people, or to be used as a weapon

If this were actually the case we wouldn't arm the military or police. Hell, we wouldn't even arm security.

I meant in the case of personal home defense, I'm fine with trained military or police having weapons of course. Having a gun in the home though doesn't really seem to bring about a lot of safety, like you think it would

It's an old story. Plus, he would've been able to defend himself without an assault rifle...no real reason for him to ever have that. And if you think that the US government is going to turn the country into Nazi Germany, and need an assault rifle, you either need to a) get therapy, or b) move to somewhere else. For protection in their homes, people do not need more than 6 rounds. Assault rifles do not belong on our streets.the_plan_man

One kid saving his sister totally makes up for the 100 or so Americans killed by guns in the past 48 hours.genfactor

where im from if someone broke into a home we wouldnt just start shooting them.. haha but i guess he is a hero

You're not going to win any safety arguments. Guns dont make the public safer. Maybe in specific cases, but overally, they dont make the public safer.

Does the right to bear arms include Surface to Air Missiles? I'd really like to take down those pesky planes that keep flying around my house. I just know it's Obama up there spying on me.Nuck81

Just using your comment as an example, I think most people have clear ideas and unspoken agreements on what the 2nd Amendment covers: Personal defense weapons limited to small arms and non-autmatic rifles that serve the purpose of defense and sport recreation (and by that, I mean hunting).

I know people will pick this comment apart, but I believe you all know what I mean.

Then when the government takes away the registered guns the criminals breaking in with stolen unregistered guns will be shooting the home owners instead.

I just didn't really feel like talking about it anymore. But oh well. Im aware, my fathers family grew up on hunting because they were so poor that they could barely afford to buy food. But they were responsible, and all well trained. But most people aren't. Im just bothered when cases like this are used as proof as to why americas gunlaws are perfectly fine the way they are. We need to be more responsible with who we are entrusting leathal force with and what types of guns they are allowed to have.

It just feels to me like there is an overall laziness to the solution for safety. We dont want to bother coming up with better plans to help keep people safer. We'd rather just give a person a gun and say, there you go youre protected!.. We don't have to ban guns outright at all.. Id just like to see our country move forward and do things to help greatly reduce the things that cause all of this daily violence rather than just accepting our violent nature.

a gun doesnt walk around aiming itself at people and shooting a dumbass person abusing it does.

You can use a gun for more than just killing like shooting targets for fun or old pieces of sh!t toys or something.

Just like a kitchen knife it can be used for preparing food or it can be used for ''KILLING'' like in michael myers lol.

Inspiring as this is, all the stories you here of children accidentally shooting themselves with said weapons really takes the air out of that sail....

Well at least Obama thinks. That's more than we can say about you...

hundreds of years ago we didnt have grocery stores we had to use bow and arrow or guns for hunting our food.

western days people used the **** for hunting but people also abused guns for robbing banks/murder.

guns were also useful for protection which is still relevant today you dont really need to hunt your food anymore.

So that's where target shooting became a hobby and relevant.

Rifle + suburban homes really close to each other is a bad combination due to the rifle being able to penetrate into neighbor's houses. A pistol or shotgun would be a lot safer.Person0

This has more to do with the cartridge than the rifle.

I wouldn't let an intruder take a step into my home if I could prevent it. I won't risk the lives of other people to spare the life of a criminal.

Assuming I was desperate for cash and robbing someone, I'd probably be far more likely just to shoot them outright if I knew they had a gun. If they didn't, well the chances I'd get the dosh and everybody's cool. We label then brave when they away with it, and foolish when they grab a weapon in a situation they've never been in against some trigger happy fuknut who precedes to blow their face off. I.e. he was lucky and brave this time...... but lucky perhaps as well.

[QUOTE="CreasianDevaili"]Rather shoot and kill someone breaking in than deal with the possible criminal and civil issues associated with seriously maiming. Just make sure they don't fall out the window or the back out the door and all is dandy.

But truthfully I'd like to knock him down and take a bat to his hands for the deed, not kill. But I get less hassle for killing. So no, not really loopy or being a maniac. We don't get to choose the way the laws are nor ignore probability. Maybe where you live it isn't the same as where I live. For that, goodie for you.cheese_game619

is that supposed to mean that some people dont think shooting a person is violent? no i dont have a gun and people dont break into my house because i dont live in a land of animals but if i did find myself in that situation id find something to threaten them with if i could, otherwise id just yell out and hope to scare them off if it didnt look like they were armed i might have a go at themcheese_game619

Aren't you Welsh?

Amazing story that really goes to show you why we need guns in this country.

kingkong0124

lol Faux news.

But you're kind of an idiot.  You think most of the U.S. is violent and eagerly await inside their homes for another violent U.S. citizen to come fight them.  You even called me an animal.  Yet day in and day out, for decades, I've never had to lock my door.  Or bar my windows.  Nor lock my vehicle.  I can leave this place for a week and come back and nothing is touched.  Yet I live in the most violent country in the world in your eyes. We can take care of and handle ourselves here just fine.  I'd say come and see how it really is here but I figure you'd piss yourself and back out.CreasianDevaili
