We’re on Twitter all the time reading tweets from Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Alyssa Milano, so when something bugs us, you know it really bugs us. And what bugs us is when people use their 280 characters to repeat the same thing over and over as if repeating it enough times makes it true. Can you imagine how well that would go over in real life? Assaults would go through the roof.
Who’s at it this time? The Coalition to Stop Gun Violence, which was formed to counter the wildly popular Coalition to Start Gun Violence.

They do have a point.
True…. you need more than one.

What if a home invader makes it upstairs and your firearm is downstairs? One gun isn’t going to cut it.
That’s why I have more than one.
— timbershiverer (@boarhogb24) May 8, 2019
Fair point. You need one on your person, also.
— Wood Borer (@galooticus) May 8, 2019
That’s why I have several in each room.

Except it does.
— vlad (@dovgalec) May 8, 2019
Except, of course, for all the times in which it does.

If you are trained in how to use a gun and willing to defend your family with it, it sure does make you safer.
— Larry Williams (@lordstarr) May 8, 2019
Yeah… try telling that to the human filth that tried to kidnap my cousin

I will take my chances.
— @frontbumpercrew (@Frontbumpercrew) May 8, 2019
This is incorrect in most cases.
— Spider-Ken: Endgame (@KennedyX8) May 8, 2019
It does, actually. It's unsafe for anyone entering my home uninvited.
— EC_Lee (@BigLee2A) May 8, 2019
Most burglars and home invasion specialists would disagree with you.
— John W (@txradioguy) May 8, 2019
Depends on the gun.
A little 22LR Derringer would just piss an attacker off.You need something with a BIT more kick… pic.twitter.com/xZ6p0DMBE6

Yes it does. My home was burglarized. Luckily we weren’t home at the time. We also didn’t own guns at the time but now we do. It makes my family safer & gives us the ability to protect ourselves.

Break into a gun owner’s home, attack them, and if you’re still around, tell me how they weren’t more safe with a gun in there

Until you need it.

Peace of mind is a wonderful thing.
— Bill (@BillyBlue37) May 8, 2019
Funny because there’s so many people who defended themselves with guns.
— You’re not even close (@release6k) May 8, 2019
Wrong.https://t.co/hqw7VkcySX

Try breaking in my house in the middle of the night.
— Mark Bidwell (@markbidwell5) May 8, 2019
Only when you are trained in how to use it. Then it makes you much safer.
— Karsten Kinstler (@KarstenKinstler) May 8, 2019
A gun in the home with someone trained to use it does make me safer.
— D.K. S. (@DebKS50) May 8, 2019
A gun in the home does not make you safer.
A gun in the home held by someone willing, able and trained in it's usage…now THAT makes you safer.
I guarantee you my home is safer than my neighbor's home without a gun.
— Leatherneck (@Leatherneck) May 8, 2019
That's partially true, the bullets tend to do most of the work.
— David LaPell (@DaveLapell) May 8, 2019
Ammo usually helps too.
— Alex something ?? (@Alevael) May 8, 2019
Weird. Mine does. ?
— Wendy ?? (@wendyscott73) May 8, 2019
Yes it does. Stop being sexist.
— Samantha ? (@samantha3050) May 8, 2019
Mine does. I’m 5 ft 2 and 115 lbs with 3 kids that depend on me to keep them safe because my husband works out of state M-F. When seconds count the police are only minutes away.

Ever live on a farm? Do you know how long it takes the Sheriff from town to arrive? Do you know the meth addicts love rural areas to set up their labs?
— KRenner (@KRenner2) May 8, 2019
You’re welcome to come test your theory at my house.
— Constantine (@_sleepybrowns) May 8, 2019
True. Someone has to pick it up for it to be useful.
— Steve Tefft (@stevetefft) May 8, 2019
Amen!
— ??Mark Clinton ⚜️ (@mark_clinton) May 8, 2019
You let me worry about what's in my home and how I decide to handle my personal safety.
— Pouncing Betty (@KarrieTheBaker) May 9, 2019
Disagree completely but thanks for sharing your views.
— Charlie (@Cjones32nga) May 9, 2019
Maybe they just needed to repeat it a few more times to convince people.
