I think it is time to get a gun

[rothschild]

...If I lived in the USA one of my first purchases would be a gun. For safety. You need it over there.

It didn't use to be that way, aussie.

So it has just gotten out of control. You are vulnerable if you are a woman living on your own, there is a predator around every corner. I think a gun and getting regular gun lessons and practice, gives you confidence to protect yourself. Otherwise, these people have no scruples about killing a person in cold blood that they don't even know.

It's more complicated than that. Mental health has deteriorated to a point that the likelihood of being attacked is increasing exponentially. This is largely the result of the failed socio-economic policies that both parties have supported.

You also have to consider the fact that there are many places in America where you will be prosecuted and probably convicted for defending yourself, and as you probably know, if you aren't prepared to shoot to kill, you are much better off not having a firearm.
