Is it just me or did it seem like this sentence was just thrown in. It didn't really fit with the rest of the topic. I mean if they wanted to go there they could have put this sentence someone else, but here it's just like a glaring afterthought like "we have to put an anti-gun statement in somewhere...this looks good"
There was a similar article in the news here recently about some local police telling residents how to keep themselves more safe. They advised using any household item you could throw at a home invader. But they cautioned against mace because that is illegal. I had not heard that. But it seems like mace would be more effective than other things.
Cops also said they discouraged having a gun because supposedly statistics show this increases the chance of an accident or suicide. Whether reality bears this up I do not know. I just know I would feel safer in a home invasion if I had a firearm to use against intruders.
The entire thing looks like it was written by someone with an 8th grade education and was instructed to put some anti gun ownership message in the text. Randomly placed it beneath the “If you must fight” heading. The whole piece piece is laughable and should be an embarassement to the ISP.
