Nothing about that makes any sense. I’m not calling bs, I’m not. I’m just saying it doesn’t make sense.

I dunno. All I know is what she told me. He was cleaning the gun and it went off when his son popped in. Of course she is only saying what her Dad said happened.
May I ask why the gun would have been loaded for cleaning?
I got guns being cleaned all the time over here right at the kitchen table (I'll get him for that!) and they aren't loaded.

None of your examples involve someone defending their lives from an armed intruder. Most burglars aren't trying to kill, only to steal, and usually for drugs. And the opioid epidemic plays a huge part in that, for which Republicans have no answer or even pretend to. The teenage boy in your first youtube clip shot at an unarmed man who was leaving his house with a fricken clothes hamper! The man could've been mentally ill for all we know, and there was no need to try killing him as he was leaving. The only thing that boy "defended" was his dirty clothes. The girl in the second video shot at an unarmed intruder as he was leaving the house. But even if you do provide examples of an armed intruder with the intent of raping or killing whoever was in the house, these examples pale in comparison. They are buried under the mountain of death counts of those who fell victim to accidents and suicides. That's something you won't even pretend to address because you can't.

So if I'm understanding you correctly, a 120lbs woman can't shoot a 230lbs intruder unless he's armed? Is that the knew Progressive rule women are going to have to follow? Someone breaking and entering into your house and you being in fear for your life isn't enough anymore?
Yeah, it doesn't really make sense to say people who don't arm themselves are terrified of something. Common sense says the opposite is true.
idiot also says my post is based on something I saw on the news! This post was in response to a real life experience that just happened, as anyone with minimal comprehension could gather from what I wrote.
Troll- posting doesn't require much comprehension, sadly.

How much comprehension is required for this post? A metric crap-ton probably? Probably more than that I am thinking. Way lot of comprehension.
I really think that personal relationships with people who end up dying of firearm injuries is highly contingent on where one lives and the circle of people one knows. It's also continent on how important the cause of death is to the person.
In thinking about people I've known who have died, I realize that, for many of them, I don't know how they died. Of acquaintances that I know committed suicide, one of my cousins committed suicide. Until I read Kevin's post, I'd never thought about or thought to ask how he ended his life. When I was a mod at Post-Mormon, a member of the community there committed suicide. I think she used a firearm. But, when I think of her, I don't think about how she killed herself. I think about posts she made, her avatar, and the few private conversations I had with her. I think about how happy she seemed in her last post, expressing excitement about attending an upcoming conference. A think about the numbness I felt when we learned she had committed suicide, and the personal loss I felt to have her gone. I think it was a gun, but I wouldn't bet money on it.
A classmate who I can't recall even being aware of committed suicide. Again, I think it was a gun. Another acquaintance threw herself in front of a train. I can't recall any others.
I grew up hunting with my dad and a group of his friends, so I was around guns. Of my current friends and acquaintances, I know that one owns a handgun and a rifle. I actually don't know whether the others own or do not own firearms. Several of my board gaming friends served in the military or reserves. I've had several interesting conversations about firearms with an army vet. But I don't actually know whether she owns a firearm. I can recall only one gun accidental injury, and that was my dad being stupid with a pellet gun. He had to go to the ER to remove the pellet from his finger. I can't think of any friend or acquaintance who was intentionally shot by another person.
