   If there are more guns than people in a country there is clearly something wrong.

   Take an example from the Dutch, we have more bicycles than people.

     @stux For all my dad's chest-beating over needing guns, not a single one he owns made a God damned difference when he slept through being robbed. They cleaned out the garage. They came into the house and helped themselves to a bunch of stuff, which they loaded into his brand new SUV that sat in said garage before driving away.

     And yet, he was still saying he'd catch the next one who tried. SMH

     And don't get him started on the libs coming to steal them, because I'm like...

     @geekgyrl :blobcatgiggle: But even if so...

     Imagine..

     Killing someone or multiple people because they steal something.. 🤔

     In my book that's still murder!

     EVEN if they are in your house etc, there are much better options rather than instant going for killing

     @stux @geekgyrl And if someone would steal your bicycle, the ratio of pricey vs. annoyance is quite decent (probably more annoying than pricy for most people, specially given how cheap you can get some bicycles), while for a car it's like "oh shit… there goes years of savings"

     @lanodan @stux Eh, a car being stolen is a minor annoyance for my dad. He could buy another one outright for cash without batting an eye.

     But for the average person, it would have a huge financial impact.
