@elfie,絕大多數的人rather kill someone than being killed 。這是生物的本能。我隻能說 No one is forced to buy a gun 這句話不符合事實。

回複 'elfie' 的評論 : Thanks for the inputs.
Actually one of my friends said similar words, and after 3 years he bought a gun.
In USA!

No one is forced to buy a gun. For instance, I would never want one.
I'm afraid I'd be killed by my own weapon if I'd own one:
What if my kids get access to weapons in my home?
What if my gun is stolen from my vehicle?
What if someone intercepts the weapon from my hand?
Could I ever shoot at anyone actively? Never. I'd rather be killed than kill anyone. Killing someone is against my consience.
So the case of me owning a gun would be not only futile but dangerous.
You love weapons because it makes you feel more in control. But to me, it makes me feel even less in control. It adds anxiety.
我聽過這樣一個故事。在美國,一個人在家遇搶劫,麵對劫匪,屋主因害怕和緊張將手裏的槍掉到了地上.....
我的膽子不比那位屋主大,不管怎麽死,我也不想死在自己的槍口下
槍支文化是美國特有文化,因此應該熟悉,最低也不至於被人家一支假槍嚇唬住。可以去各種槍店射擊靶場租用不同槍支試試,看哪種品牌或者類型自己更喜歡。
無論如何在擁有槍支後要花錢上自己州槍支法的法律課,這筆錢是需要花的,幾百左右,課程一般兩整天時間。從統計來看,97%的使用槍支自衛的人會因為犯法進監獄,成功自衛的人很少。
FBI在大概十年前公布了本世紀初以來的針對入室搶劫的開槍自衛數據,兩千多個案子中隻有兩起成功自衛(事後你進監獄不算成功)。
我已經好幾年沒有買槍了,覺得很不對勁
看到這句話, 想起了另一句話,“寧可我負他人,絕不許他人負我”
什麽時候,人的道德準則已經滑落到這步田地?
Well said!!!
