I would use a peep hole.  But one could just throw a rock through your window... and now your inside. FirstAscent, you could get in your home in one min, right? So could anyone.

My Dad was a cop for 30+ years . He was a ranking police official and graduate of the FBI academy.  Once when we were at the front door he mentioned what a joke locks are, so I called him on it.
"But what if you used a bank vault door? Then your safe right?" I asked.
Without saying a word he knocked on the door and when my brother opened it, Dad just looked over at me and smiled.  Locks are a joke to the serious thug.
My home has ridiculous security; cameras, sensors, etc. But I use them only to tell if a break-in is happening and to track an invader around the house. Only my weapons are going to keep me safe.

Maybe it is my Dad again? I don't think of bad guys as something you run from. I was raised to go after bad guys and keep them from getting away. 

"Central command, we have a unit thinking on his own. Someone named Rudd-O. Shall I call the truck?" 

The advice from the British police is all good at preventing burglars.  But burglars and robbers are different types of criminals. A burglar does not want to see you. He wants to steal from you while your not aware. A robber is not afraid to confront you, they are considered to be much more dangerous. One of the most serious types of robbery is home invasion. Such a robber may well kill you and rape your family during the break in. Robbers don't give a crap about your well lit yard and laugh at the idea of a locked door. Locks are so that Soccer moms can "feel" safe. They have almost zero actual value.  

I should try harder. Even calling them "monsters" is showing ignorance. They are not monsters, they are fellow humans.

None of the problems the op stated are bitcoin problems. His problems are with the banking laws and fiat money system. Go tell them.

lol, I don't get accused of that much. Normally I'm criticized for not caring enough about what others think. I guess I do brag about my AR build. I recently finished it and I'm happy with how it turned out. 
But insecure is a fearful position and I don't fear many things. I think you have to be ignorant of something to fear it. For example I do not have your fear of guns because I know abut them. Just as I don't break into a sweat when I see a guy holding a screwdriver, even though a screwdriver could kill me.
I am afraid of serial killers and monsters like this school shooter. Them I can't understand, and my ignorance makes them seem extra creepy.

Thanks frija
We are not all gun nuts.

I'm no right winger or government conspiracy nut. I'm a liberal who loves nature and the arts. But none of that's going to matter if I found myself face to face with an armed psyco. It will be too late for society to help him get the mental resources he needs. I'm just pragmatic about it.
Violence is the worst way to address violence. It is much better to defuse a violent person and treat the root problem. But once somone crosses the line and acts out, violence is often the only choice.

The guys in cell block D are going to find this part especially funny. 

How has the attacker proven that this is his address?

I went shooting this weekend. Put about 100rnds. through each of my assault rifles. But I must be doing it wrong because I didn't kill anything. In fact none of the guns I currently own have ever killed anything. With the exception of my CC weapon, they are for competitive shooting at targets.
I guess one equates guns with killing if you only know about them from crime reports on the news. I grew up shooting with friends and associate guns with fun times and friendly competition. The only "danger" we thought about was tripping and shooting yourself.  

As far as practical danger, art should definitely be banned. Art has lead to countless disruptions of the public order. It gives people ideas that can lead to violent change. It is simply not needed.

[/muahahaha]

I look at it this way.
The number of guns in a given area is only slightly proportional to your risk of being shot, but who has the weapons is strongly proportional to your risk.  I have been thinking about this since Sunday when I was at a restaurant. I noticed that several patrons were open carrying their weapons and I was concealing mine. I wondered if some people at the restaurant were unnerved at all these guns?
MY first reaction was to think “wow, nothing bad is gonna happen here!” a crazy person trying to shoot someone would be lucky to get two shots off before a rain of lead came their way.

When faced with a hard to understand mind like the active shooters in the news, it is easy to blame the weapon. Especially if you know little about weapons. Many have a superstitious view of guns as having some sort of power. As though a sensible person is changed into a killer by the presence of a gun. People who know about guns are baffled by this because we think of them like a screwdriver or any other tool. It's not the gun that is the risk, it's the person. Indeed if you want to find a place that is safe from active shooters consider going to places that have guns. A police station, military base, a gun club, these  places have the most guns and are among the safest places. Schools, theaters, gun free zones; are places where only criminals have guns and there may be no one with any ability to stop a shooter.

I know some don't agree. That's cool. I'm not saying you should carry a gun. But for those of us who understand that the only survivable response to a shooter is an armed response, let us protect ourselves. You can hide in a closet and pretend your invisible if you want, I'm going home that evening.

I am also sickened to see the "news" swarm all over the grieving.  Not to help, not to inform, but rather to keep you watching through the commercials. Add to that every politician with a tactical jacket falling over each other to get on TV and rescue us via legislation.
Uugh. It's the media tragedy that follows every real tragedy.  

Ah ha! you know something about fighting and swords. Therefore you are not allowed to help make policy about them. We need to call my friends Mom. She knows nothing about these things, but she does have strong opinions. She should decide. 

Oh, like a say... a gun. 

So the law should be that you may own things that have practical uses? This will finally put to an end the wearing of low rider jeans.

Just playing devils advocate here.

I can't believe in this day and age we allow people to have knives.

We just need to make the "Gun free zone" signs larger. I assume these nut job shooters are just not seeing the signs. Because no one would dare disobey a rule. 

I would like to see a map showing active shooter incident locations and no carry zones. Seems the shooters always pick schools, theaters, churches; places they can be sure no one will be able to shoot back.

Maybe it just hit a sell price for some peers?

Not bad. Sure it could be defeated, but if it came to my house, I would run!
