    The other realistic option is that he shoots me empty handed. No one is going to take his gun and no one is going to save me in time.

        Well I can’t go back in time to preemptively stop them from getting a gun in the first place, I’d love to hear any suggestions you have for that situation.

            “Just do something a large portion of the country would kill to stop from happening” isn’t a good solution, but you know that. If reason was going to work, we would have used it decades ago.

                Not much of a solution if you know it won’t work. I’d still like to know what you propose someone with a crazy neighbor that wants them dead should do if defending oneself with a gun isn’t acceptable.

                  I guess y’all just keep shooting up schools then.

                  Good luck with that.

                  It’s not my place to solve your problems. You need to solve your problems.

                    See? You have no ideas, you could have just said that instead of acting like we can just solve this overnight.
