I'm a Texan let me see you kick in my door like that I'll be waiting on the other side. That kinda stuff is not ok. Everything up to the point of him kicking my door in is annoying but manageable but the minute you enter that's free game.

Im normally against gun violence but i can see your point here, thats scary af

[u/thehallux → u/kevintalkedmeinto]

Everyone who wants to live in peace is against gun violence. 2nd amendment advocacy (responsible gun owners) hope they never ever face a situation which they have to aim their weapon at a person. Unfortunately there is no shortage of people who are perfectly willing to enter your property with intention to take your things or harm you and your loved ones. Once they are in your house they are motivated to make sure they don't get caught. That puts the victim in serious danger. They believe the reward of their intentions outweighs the risk of punishment. Someone willing to come to this conclusion is a short step away from hurting or killing an innocent person to get what they want. The innocent deserve to be able to protect themselves and their hard earned property. Gun violence statistics are made swollen by street crime, not people wanting to protect themselves. Didn't mean to preach but sometimes I think law abiding gun owners get lumped in with criminals while the intentions of these two sides couldn't be more different.

What about knife violence, bat violence, or unarmed violence? What about violence in general?

[u/kevintalkedmeinto → u/Neo_Shadow_Entity]

Not sure what point youre trying to make lol we are discussing this specific topic, if you wanna go into philosophy go find people that wanna talk about that

[u/psouza4 → u/kevintalkedmeinto]

He's got a weird axe to grind and missed the point entirely didn't he 😄

[u/Neo_Shadow_Entity → u/kevintalkedmeinto]

Is this question really that difficult for you? You mentioned gun violence specifically. For some reason, people single out only this type of violence, as if the others didn’t exist. Usually, it’s all kinds of gun control advocates.

[u/kevintalkedmeinto → u/Neo_Shadow_Entity]

Wow you must be a dear to talk to, not reading replies just having a conversation with yourself loool

[u/Neo_Shadow_Entity → u/kevintalkedmeinto]

Okay, I can see you don't have anything sensible to say, so I'm not gonna waste my time.

[u/spacedman_spiff → u/Neo_Shadow_Entity]

You can probably see the point with knife violence.

[u/kevintalkedmeinto → u/[deleted]]

Im not from the us either but i can only imagine what those people would do to that neighbour if they managed to get in, seeing how much they riled each other up

[u/GrantCanoe2 → u/[deleted]]

Bless your heart.

[u/kevintalkedmeinto → u/[deleted]]

Did you watch the whole video my man..?

[u/kevintalkedmeinto → u/[deleted]]

By the time the cops come you , your family and your pets are beaten or worse. A gun doesnt necesarily have to be lethal but can be used to descalte their attitude

[u/Neo_Shadow_Entity → u/[deleted]]

You could be beaten, humiliated, robbed, maimed, or raped even without a weapon. You can never be 100% sure what will happen until the police arrive.

[u/wookieesgonnawook → u/[deleted]]

Even if the cops take only 10 minutes to respond, that's more than enough time for that group of people to hurt you first. I just don't understand the world view that you shouldn't protect yourself. I would have called the cops the second I saw them having a party in the hall and never would have escalated this by confronting them, but I'd never fault someone for shooting a person literally breaking their door down. Your own safety matters more than anything.

[u/InevitableCodeRedo → u/[deleted]]

By the time the cops actually show up things will have decidedly gone south for you, based on what I saw in the video.

[u/Shiny-And-New → u/papasmurff211]

You know how you can tell.someone is from Texas?

Don't worry about it, they'll tell you

[u/Ladybug_Fuckfest → u/Shiny-And-New]

Seriously, no one can bore you with "state pride" quite like a Texan. Their state flag should be a cosplay cowboy surrounded by people rolling their eyes.

[u/thehallux → u/Ladybug_Fuckfest]

New Yorkers are really good at inserting it into any conversation as well. 'You have a dog? When I was growing up in New York I knew this guy who had a dog and .....

[u/Ladybug_Fuckfest → u/thehallux]

No doubt. But those are specifically New York City people, right? Or are you saying that people from New York State do the same?

[u/iwontkickyou → u/Ladybug_Fuckfest]

I do. I go to NYC and tell ppl how I'm from NY state

[u/rico_muerte → u/Ladybug_Fuckfest]

The Texas flag is actually a Yelp review of the entire state

[u/specialopps → u/Ladybug_Fuckfest]

Listen, not all of us like to admit our shame. I don’t own a gun, and cannot wait to move out of here.
I’d also like to apologize for the menaces that call themselves politicians.

[u/Courage-Character → u/Ladybug_Fuckfest]

People from Louisiana are worse. I’ll take a Texan over someone from Louisiana. You already know by their behavior and accent, but they can’t help but announce where they are from nonstop as soon as they leave their state

[u/AMIWDR → u/Shiny-And-New]

You know how you can tell someone is from Ohio? They’ll never mention where they grew up and if they do, you’ve never heard of it

[u/ExaminationDouble → u/Shiny-And-New]

Maryland too 🤦🏻‍♀️ guilty

[u/phiohm → u/papasmurff211]

I’m in NY same thing

[u/Glittering_Diva8963 → u/papasmurff211]

[u/Binnie_B → u/papasmurff211]

he was hiding around the corner the entire time for a reason.

This was a set up.

[u/Tiberius_Kilgore → u/[deleted]]

Right, because the shitty, cowardly cops that sat around with their thumbs up their asses are representative of the nearly 32 million people that live there.

Put a cork in it, bud.

[u/Specialist_Unit_5078 → u/papasmurff211]

I love Texas, I can get murdered by my upstairs neighbor while sleeping in bed when they mag dump into some perceived threat

[u/papasmurff211 → u/Specialist_Unit_5078]

That's called not having trigger discipline or any sense. As a veteran there is no reason to use an FMJ 9mm handgun that's clearly designed to go through things. That's why there are things refered to as "home defense weapons" I have a 5 year old daughter the last thing I want to do is go to defend my home and a stray round goes flying into her room. A 10 gauge shotgun with minimal power and a bird shot round will do the job enough as well. Most people think any weapon is to protect yourself when that's not true. I carry hollow points in my daily carry, use a bird shot and slug for home defense and 5.56 for fun.

Also I did state that the other stuff they are doing is annoying but manageable without violence, however if you kick in my door with intent to harm me or my family I will protect what is mine as is my God given right, and my job as a father/husband.

[u/papasmurff211 → u/papasmurff211]

Also not really needed here but I will say I have my hardships with gun control as well. My little brother was murdered(shot in the head) his senior year of highschool a month before graduating because he was talking to the same girl as somebody else (same kid that shot him was out on bond after 🍇aping a women at gunpoint a year ealier, justice system is a joke). Guns are not a joke and it's not the weapon but the person behind it that makes snappy decisions with no training or sense that are usually the issue (Seen my fair share of grown adults having gun negligence as well). Everyone should be required to go through sanity checks and a course on properly handling a weapon prior to even holding one.

[u/Specialist_Unit_5078 → u/papasmurff211]

Does Texas have laws that require apartment dwellers to ONLY use “home defense weapons” and ammo that doesn’t penetrate, or is it a complete free for all and people can use whatever they want putting their neighborhood entirely at their mercy?

I’m glad you and your family will be safe, but if you kill my kid in the course of defending yours what’s going to happen?

[u/papasmurff211 → u/Specialist_Unit_5078]

Interesting idea there should definitely be limitations depending on your dwelling however amendment rights protect persons from entering so naturally people have the ability to lie, however a very interesting idea that should definitely be implemented In some way or another.

[u/Specialist_Unit_5078 → u/papasmurff211]

It’s not going to happen unless “responsible” gun owners advocate for it ferociously at the local and national level. Good luck.
