Is "Stand your ground" helpful or dangerous?

i dont doubt that but that is still not the same as private gun collections in ones own home.i am sure abandoned building that get turned into crack houses because there is no official person on a lease to be responsable for the homes content.im sure these houses are loaded with guns but that wasnt the point

I was not challenging your point, just describing known behaviour.

No I read it correctly the first time but let's agree to disagree.



That is my point why do we give people algebra problems when they don't understand nor care to figure it out. My point of view is on the grey line of the US gun debate. I don't expect you to get involved with that. However I am all for "right to bear arms" and ones right to protect oneself but some checks and balances need to be enforced. To get a drivers license you need to prove that you know how to drive and that you understand the rules of the road. They don't just give a brief drive around the block and briefly explain to you basic usages of the car and give you a license. You read and study then take the test. As a HAM radio operator they don't let you just pick up a radio and start talking (although some people do that) but it's against the law. You need to take a test on laws/regulations, safety, radio fundamentals, electronic fundamentals, q codes and etiquette. Reasons for which are to ensure that the usage on those bands are controlled and people aren't just doing what they feel like and congesting the radio bands. I am proposing something similar and my proposal would probably piss many gun rights enthusiast off but I think it is a sound proposal. If it weeds out the morons who can't use common sense with a gun then why not implement it.

Yes I agree with Raptor this statement IS bizarre?

My personal opinion on the SYG is I agree with you too. I will reiterate that laws are complex in an attempt to cover all potential situations and are not easily translated into guidelines for joe public. I'm just going to move aside now for the gun lovers to get past, okay. Peace.

Ha fair enough. The ground is muddy on the other end of the Atlantic as you can see.

Ha a day goes by and no one touches this thread... Probably because I support both Gun Control and Stand Your Ground. This goes to show that people don't want to debate real issues they like the issues where they are. The left doesn't want to fix the left and the right doesn't want to fix the right. America is spiraling and if we can't come together on trivial issues like this how can we come together on anything? There really is no hope for this country is there?
