I don't own a gun, I never will own a gun.

Since I don't break laws then I don't need one.

I don't know anybody in jail, anybody who's been to jail or anybody that's been arrested.

I have never had my house, my car, my parents house or my parents car ever broken in to.

The only house that I have ever heard of being burglarized was somebody who bragged at the office and their co-worker's teenage son attempted to break in.  He was arrested at the scene.

I have confidence that the cops would arrive within a few minutes of dialing 911 and I don't fear for my own personal protection nor my family's.

So only criminals own guns? :rolleyes:

Some people are so closed minded that they can't even see through their own bullcrap.

When you look down the barrow of a gun you'll see how quickly you'll change your mind about guns.

I don't know about Canada, but it has been prven legally that the police are NOT legally obligated to protect you, makes you think.

You must live right down the street from a police station in a wealthy suburb or something. In the US mostly, you'd be luck to see the police in less than 5 minutes.

Oh, and BTW, it only takes about say 2-3 seconds for someone to shoot you, long before the police ever get there. They (the police) would be more likely to picking up your dead corpse than "saving you"!

And as for "...I don't break laws then I don't need one", I bet you'd like one if some serial-rapist was raping you in some dark alley, you law-abiding citizen you.

Nicely said.... I was working at a reaturant on a Sunday which is a slow day. 4 guys come in with 12 gauge shot guns and tape my hands behind my back and mouth with duct tape while another guy had a 12 gauge pointed right to my head. Lock me, my dad, and a co-woker in the working box. Our driver that delivers the food was held under the table at gunpoint. After the stole the money, he lets us out. All the phone lines were cut and everything. We called the cops from a pay phone only to come in 30 min.

That guy has no clue whats it like to have a gun pointed at your face. It's not like the movies.... I think I was shaking for a good 15 min from shock. When I turn 21 in Feb I am deffentintly getting a gun for self defense.

I don't personally own one, but, I am proficient at using them. If the USA ever

tries to "ban" guns altogether, then I will buy one before the ban goes into effect.

The reaon I don't "own" one is that I see and have to deal with so many STUPID

people during the day, I just want to "remove them from the gene pool" if you

know what I mean LOL....

That is the beauty Of The Second Amendment. In oder to ban guns entirely they would have to get rid of the constitution. I would fight it to the last

I think in that kind of situation you would be best to cooperate with the armed robbers.

If you did have a gun, trying to be a hero, you'd probably get shot before you even get a chance to aim.

    • TerraMaster F2-425 Pro review: a low-powered Intel NAS that ships with AI (OpenClaw)

      By ad47uk · Posted

      I have a older F4-210 NAS, it is pretty basic, the CPU is not the fastest by a long way and only 1GB of ram, but it works fine. I don't understand the need for A.I in a NAS. It seems like A.i is being shoved into everything, if we like it or not. i will stick to my old Terramsater NAS, thankfully the OS is not being updated. Also, got myself a small NAs built using a Raspberry Pi 5. iy usesd less energy, so stays on all the time. As for the unit above, if it is as reliable as my old Terramaster Nas, then it will be a good unit.
    • Gemini in Google Sheets can now help you debug and fix formula errors

      By David Uzondu · Posted

      Gemini in Google Sheets can now help you debug and fix formula errors by David Uzondu Google has started rolling out an update to Gemini in Google Sheets that allows the AI to diagnose and fix formula errors in one click, as long as your Workspace admin has Gemini for Workspace in Sheets turned on. According to Google, the new feature can handle pretty much everything from basic arithmetic to very complex calculations. This ability to debug formula errors comes about two years after Google introduced basic formula generation with Gemini in Sheets. To create a formula with Gemini in Sheets, you open a spreadsheet on your computer and click Ask Gemini in the top right corner. You can also enter an equals sign in any cell and use a shortcut like Ctrl + Alt + G on Windows and Chrome OS, or Command + Ctrl + G on macOS. Once you open the side panel, you write a natural language prompt using your sheet references. For example, you can ask Gemini to divide goals by games, or to find cell C1 in range D:G. If for some reason, the formula Gemini generated doesn't work, or maybe you wrote the formula yourself, you can troubleshoot the issue directly inside the grid. When a cell shows an error message, you hover over it and click "Fix". This action opens the side panel where Gemini analyzes the data structure and automatically applies the fixes when they are ready. You can cancel the process at any time by clicking stop in the side panel. Image via Google Google has been pushing its Gemini integration in Google Sheets for a while now, steadily moving AI features from side panels directly into user spreadsheets. Last year, the Mountain View giant shipped an =AI() Function in Sheets that allowed users to run translation and text generation directly inside cells instead of using the side panel interface. Earlier this year, the company announced that Gemini in Sheets had reached near-human expert performance, achieving a 70.48% success rate on the SpreadsheetBench dataset.
    • It's about to become harder to turn off your Samsung TV, thanks to Instagram

      By ad47uk · Posted

      I get what you are saying, If i go onto the Instagram site, it says log in with Facebook, but they are not allowed to link my account with Instagram until I do that. Maybe in the U.S, they can link them, but Privacy is not a thing in the U.S. the way things are going,l won;t be any better in the U.K.

    • AI is indeed eliminating jobs, and Oracle just proved it

      By leonsk29 · Posted

      Exactly, this is just the beginning. I hope that by that time, our inept politicians devise something like a Universal Basic Income, because unemployment and poverty rates will skyrocket otherwise. And believe me, robots that perform physical work aren't a matter of IF, but WHEN. No career is truly safe from AI/robots, it's just a matter of time.
