What gets me....is that there’s at least one or two home invasions on a nightly basis in Detroit...minimum. So, you have three punks wandering around, and figuring...what kind of trouble can we incite or what poor loser can we rob?

You can figure....out of every ten houses....at least five of these folks are armed. So it’s a fifty-fifty guess. Out of the five armed....you can figure one will have an automatic rifle. Statistically speaking....it’s Russian Roulette. You are simply guessing on your rate of survival, and how many rounds they will fire before they hit you. It’s a pretty lousy assessment of your life, and the calculated risks involved.

So, this brings me to an observation. Every single house in America needs an automatic rifle...with the NRA providing free (or as cheap as possible) instruction on how to fire the weapon successfully. We need the statistics to basically say....it’s ten out of ten houses armed, and they are prepared to send you onto your grave. Rather than playing Russian Roulette....let’s make it absolute...you won’t be around as the sun rises....if you want to play home invasion.

In Texas and the rest of the South it’s more like 95%. Why even risk it? Every lady I ever dated down here had a pistol in her purse. You don’t see that “road rage” or much of that “knockout game” nonsense you see up North or out on the West Coast, it’d be suicidal.

Assuming you mean semi-auto.

....if you want to play home invasion.

Ah, the new "home invasion game."

I assume you mean "semiautomatic" not "automatic." I doubt there are that many fully-automatic rifles in the hands of law-abiding citizens in Detroit. Now the criminal class, on the other hand...
