The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Gosh, it’s just so inconvenient to take 2 minutes to lock up a gun.


They get hit with a lot of fear mongering - "When seconds count!", and then there's cinema, series, etc. So rather than pay attention to the stats that show if you own a gun someone living in your house is likely to get shot with it, it gets ignored in all the emotion.

So lock up the gun and hope that when you're suicidal or want to kill your wife, that the few seconds extra it takes to get the gun is enough to bring you to your senses. Incidentally, the Euros consider that in murder suicide of a family, the family is killed as "extended self". Do us a favor and just kill yourself. If the Japanese can do it, so can you.
