said bro in law is a huge fucking liberal, worships john stewart and Bill Maher, that type of guy.
>"...it's just now that I got kids I don't feel like it's a safe thing to have in the house"
>I tell him he should actually want it in the house more so he can defend his family if the need ever arises
>"we have a security system and locks on the doors, our neighborhood is safe too, what's the odds of someone breaking in?"
>tell him it's not about how slim the odds are, that small chance should still warrant him to have a means to protect the lives of himself and his family
>"I just don't want the kids getting their hands on it"
>tell him to get a safe
>"yea but my friends kids were able to break into their safe to get toys that the parents hid from them by setting up a camera facing the safe to see the combination"
regardless of how improbable this sounded, I indulged
>that was the parents fault for being retards who hide their kids' toys in a weapons vault

he went on to tell me that no one should be able to own multiple guns or an AR15 because there's "no reason to". Even after minutes of reasoning with him, he basically resorted to "I- I just don't know anon. I don't think there's a reason to own such guns".

I just don't fucking know how to get through to some people, /k/omrades.
