Even assuming the rules of deduction in classical logic what one deduces is entirely a consequence of one's axioms. Axioms tend to depend on what one believes.
Logic isn't based on any one's point of view.
Study it.
Regarding Hiroshima, Akiko Takakura was in the Bank of Japan behind reinforced concrete at the time of the bombing and 300 metres from the epicentre of the blast, she was the closest survivor not below ground.
Regarding guns, while I have no particular problem with people owning guns this incident was caused by the gun culture. The culture in the US seems to create a careless attitude to them. In Canada, gun ownership is as widespread as in the US, but apparently without either the murder or, as far as I'm aware, accident rate.

Your probably right.
Four year-olds will pick any lock on a gun-case.
Kids will be kids.
I find nothing wrong with locking up seldom used guns. I have no children in my home regularly, but most of my guns are in my gun safe, unloaded.
Since a couple of my guns are for self defense, they are loaded, and not locked up where they would be useless to me. I am on high alert when grandchildren are in my home. The rooms where my guns reside, are off limits to the kids. I may, if I'm busy, carry the weapons on my person while the kids are there.
No security system is foolproof, but accidents happen due to overconfidence in procedures like locking stuff up.
Originally posted by wolfgang59Most of us, including me, who vow to use a gun for self defense, are never forced to do so. Part of that is that we take security seriously, and don't behave recklessly.
Is that before or after muttering "Make my day punk." ?
Many criminals have testified that they could tell if a mark was armed or not, and of course they chose the unarmed one.

how much protection is a gun placed behind enough locks so your kid can't get to it.
in the very likely event you are home invaded in the middle of the night (very likely, according to NRA and you gun nuts) how much time do you think you will have to find the key to that cabinet or remember the combination to that safe?

Originally posted by ZahlanziThe other way to look at it; suppose you decide to go around robbing people instead of getting the IRS to do it for you. Which house will you, as a keen home invader choose, the one where there are possibly armed occupants or the one whose occupants defend themselves with whimpers, pleadings and shrieks?
tell me something please.
