New York Times columnist Nicholas Kristof used an April 22 op-ed to advise his readers to consider using bear spray against home intruders instead of firearms.
Kristof’s suggestion was couched in an op-ed written to persuade readers that having a gun in their home actually makes them less safe.
He claimed the idea that a gun in the home makes someone safer is actually a “delusion” and he linked to a study from 2017 to support his point.

Why, Nick? If they’re still alive and captured, they just get released with no-bail. Free to go commit more crimes. Dead, they’re no longer a threat to anyone.
Also free to come back and exact brutal revenge on him and his family.
Then you’ll want to outlaw bear spray.
Bear spray doesn’t even work on bears.
Y’know what DOES?
A HANDGUN. (Preferably 40 caliber or above.)
No
Sorry nicky, I actually want to protect me and my own.
Read and heed my tagline, folks.
The home invaders obviously don’t think bear spray is a substitute for a gun, so I won’t be trading down on firepower any time soon either.
Isn’t bear spray what happens when they need to take a leak?
Policemen and political bodyguards obviously don’t think bear spray is a substitute for a gun, either.
Bears consider it seasoning.
Will bear spray go through a door or glass?
Will bear spray go through a door or glass?
Hell a washed up actor who shoots and kills someone on a movie set has a better chance of getting off Scott free then a home owning, taxpayer with deadly bear spray…… I hope and pray any home owner in that situation has a semi automatic bear spray without the arm brace for the can……
What qualifies this skinny Harvard prick to provide home defense advise? STFU NY lib scum.
You are supposed to use bear spray inside of your own home?
It seems like you would have to evacuate the premises if you did that.
In a rational world, this scenario would be the subject of TV crime drama:
“Journalist” makes these statements and is then accosted in his home by armed intruders who hand him a can of bear spray with which to defend himself.
And when the bear spray inevitably wafts back and directly back onto you in in your eyes?
Bwahahahaha... Good luck with that. But hey, you do you.
If you try and stand-off a weaponized home invader with bear spray…the intruder might die laughing after he blows your head off!
