Knife wielding man kicks in door of family's home, but he's no match for dads rifle

Knife-wielding man kicks in door of family home, makes threats. But he’s no match for Dad’s rifle.

"Turns out the bang was an intruder kicking in the front door, police said.
Police said the father grabbed a rifle and called 911, the station reported.
While the father was on the phone with a police dispatcher, police told KTVT the knife-wielding intruder made threats against the family, trashed household items and tried running toward a room.
At that point the father fired one round from his rifle, killing the intruder at the scene, the station reported.
The father suffered a stab wound from the intruder, was taken to a hospital and is expected to be OK, KTVT said."

Thank god the father had that firearm, who knows what would have happened if he did not.

That's... Nice, I guess?

The Official "Toughguy Gun Story Cancels Out Escalated Pattern of Mass-Shootings" Thread.

It doesn't cancel out anything, it is what it is.

Who knows what would have happened if instead of a knife, the intruder had a gun.

Quick Question Surt, would you rather your intruder be armed with a knife or a gun?

If I have no weapon? I have no preference.

If I have a gun? A knife would surely be preferable for them to have. So I could shoot them with my gun.

Situation 1: You and your intruder are both armed with knives

Situation 2: You and your intruder are both armed with guns

I want the gun.

I have back issues. If he has a knife and I have one too I have to get up close and get involved in a physical struggle.

My chances of survival are greater in the gun vs gun scenario.

Psychologically, using a knife is more personal. Knives are intimate violence and you must have agency to use one. Everyone armed with knives is less likely to result in violence.

The violence is more likely to escalate with guns. Guns depersonalize killing, all you gotta do is pull a trigger. The likelihood that violence occurs is MUCH higher if everyone has guns.

Nope, for me my chances of survival are higher with a gun vs gun scenario. I know that kills your narrative, but oh well lol.

I at least expect people to make sense. "This could have been a lot worse if the dad had no gun" is in no way crushed by "it could have been worse if the intruder had a gun" lol.

Those are merely...two things that are true lol. They do not cancel each other out.

And for me personally in *any* physically confrontation I am at a disadvantage.

Right here is where this thread became irrelevant.

Lol, and this is why you aren't to be taken seriously.

Another thread backfire on poor squirt.

What is Robtard's stance on this? Was this criminal a victim? Could he have been rehabilitated?
