I feel like this should be submitted to someone for a mental health review, this person should not own guns

[-] Lemminary@lemmy.world 91 points 5 months ago

If only there was some sort of screening for that, hmm.

[-] afraid_of_zombies@lemmy.world 68 points 5 months ago

No we can't do that because hypothetically someone with a revolver is going to stop an entire dictatorship one day.

I promise not to use the doorbell, instead I shall announce my arrival by throwing acorns at the door.

[-] hexabs@lemmy.world 33 points 5 months ago

Topical 🌰

[-] activ8r@sh.itjust.works 26 points 5 months ago

This is America, sonny! You don't throw acorns like some forest folk! You unload your Glock 19 into the door frame and pray to God you don't need more ammo!

Why does this guy even have a doorbell?

[-] Blackmist@feddit.uk 54 points 5 months ago

How else would he know the burglars are coming?

[-] Zess@lemmy.world 42 points 5 months ago

The stupid part is he used the doorbell exactly as intended. That's how he knew there was a kid at the door. He's just trying to shift blame to innocent people doing innocuous things because he wants to shoot them.

[-] carl_dungeon@lemmy.world 31 points 5 months ago

Gotta have a reason to blast a kid these days sadly.

At my house we mock the dogs for freaking out over the doorbell. "Yeah, a malicious person is going to bother ringing the doorbell"

This guy is on the level of our dogs.

[-] thorbot@lemmy.world 49 points 5 months ago

Except dogs actually have a sense of loyality and can be loving. This person is just a fucking cockroach

If you need a gun in order to feel safe in your own home, you live in a shithole country.

[-] RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 29 points 5 months ago

This is a safe country. Only the assclowns feeding off manufactured fears so they can own an arsenal think otherwise.

Way too many people, especially Americans, have a gun-slinger complex. They're looking for an excuse, any excuse, to use their guns, and feel like they're "heroes". These people are dangerous and the antithesis of what gun owners should be - responsible and careful. This ain't the "well regulated militia" mentioned in the constitution, this is angsty, angry, insecure people with issues trying to act tough by shooting someone.

[-] Facebones@reddthat.com 47 points 5 months ago

It's a murder fetish. Flat out. They can hem and haw all they want, the end goal of owning a gun is murder.

"what if someone robs you?!"

So what, take my wallet with no cash and a card that'll get locked. Take my phone and watch that are locked and my phone is set to factory reset after a few wrong codes. I can replace them.

"What if someone breaks into your house?!"

It's just stuff. 🤷 They don't want my fireproof document safe they want my consoles and pcs. My pcs are all backed up off site and the drives are encrypted.

In both cases I have serial numbers etc of everything also saved off site to report them stolen.

I put life over stuff. If you gotta pull a gun on me and demand my wallet you're CLEARLY having a worse day than I am. If I do have cash whatever take my $50 idgaf 🤷

Why do they have a doorbell?

[-] morphballganon@lemmy.world 63 points 5 months ago

Sometimes houses come with them, and threatening murder is easier than properly removing an electrical fixture.

[-] elvith@feddit.de 36 points 5 months ago

Well... He has a gun and he thinks that its part of a solution. He's not wrong, he could just shoot the door bell instead of a random visitor and no-one would ring his door bell anymore.

So he can claim he was terrified for his life when he starts blasting 5 year olds through the oak panels.

If someone doesn't want another person to use their doorbell...maybe they shouldn't have a doorbell...

That version is missing the best part, putting on the powdered wig and shouting "Tally Ho, Lads! " as he blasts the rapscallions apart with the stair-mounted cannon

[-] circuitfarmer@lemmy.world 49 points 5 months ago

Why even have the fucking bell then. Sounds like entrapment if you just mean to shooet whomever rings your bell.

Does anyone ask these psychos why they’re so utterly terrified of everything? He’s basically saying he’s scared of kids at his door. This is not badass tough guy behavior, I don’t care if you’re “not fucking around”, you’re a scared little pissbaby.

Then why does the dude have a doorbell? Oh so it’s a game to him. He wants to shoot kids.

[-] Lennnny@lemmy.world 39 points 5 months ago

This is insane.

I do however want to segue into an idea I had for a new doorbell. Basically when you press the button, instead of immediately ringing inside the house, a pre recorded voice asks a series of questions. Then, AI analyzes the answers against your set of rules and determines if the person is allowed to be interrupting you. Imagine a sales person ringing your doorbell and getting you asking "hey what's this about? Is she expecting you?' And then declining to ring the doorbell and asking them to leave. My cats would be thrilled.

[-] Simulation6@sopuli.xyz 34 points 5 months ago

AI doorbell: Please state why 'your house is on fire' is a valid reason to interrupting the individual inside.

— "I almost shot the bitch in her face, stop fucking with my doorbell"

... ...

— "Guys, I just said that to warn about dangerous people out there. There's bad people out there who grab their gun when someone rings their bells. Not me, I'm an angel".

This man has a point, it's well know that people intended to do harm to you in your home always announce their presence before getting started.

[-] Raiderkev@lemmy.world 35 points 5 months ago

My buddy from HS is one these right wing idiots. He had a story bragging about how he scared away a census worker who had the audacity to ring his doorbell unexpectedly. People are fucking dumb

[-] LifeInMultipleChoice@lemmy.world 23 points 5 months ago

Census workers are federal employees last I knew. I wouldn't want to find out how many things could go wrong threatening such.

Frankly, homie be trippin, and needs his/her firearm rights suspended until they can pass a competency hearing.

I'm a paranoid old fuck, and I still don't draw down because there's a knock at the door. Nobody sane does that.

Good job the kid wasn't black, or we'd be seeing this on the news.

[-] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 27 points 5 months ago

Then... WHY HAVE A DOORBELL?

I don't get it. If a doorbell freightens you so much, why don't you get a most with a drawbridge, why have a front door and especially, why have a bell? At that point it's just a Honeypot and you're just there waiting for some kid to press it so you can murder them

People are generally not too smart but Republicans are just in a whole league of their own

[-] I_Fart_Glitter@lemmy.world 26 points 5 months ago

As someone who rang every doorbell in my neighborhood multiple time a year from ages 6-11 to sell cookies, cookie dough, frozen pizza subscriptions, candy bars and magazines, fuck this guy. But also, we need better funded schools in the US.. do kids still have to do this shit?

7 years ago... Ten years ago now? I was reading electric and gas smart meters that were unresponsive. I'm not sure if it was more suspicious that I knocked (company policy) before doing sneaky peaking around side yards, but in the last couple months doing it there were 2 times I was definitely approached with a hand on a firearm (me in electric blue jacket and highlighter yellow safety vest). dude, chill the fuck out and answer your effing door

[-] TheProtagonist@lemmy.world 23 points 5 months ago

So what's the deal? Just rush in without ringing and try to shoot the house owner first?

[-] Anticorp@lemmy.world 23 points 5 months ago

WTF is "his six"? A revolver? Is he saying he sat there in terror, loading his revolver one bullet at a time because a kid rang his doorbell? Someone please take this person's firearm away.

This loser would be a hoot at a kid's haunted house. Cardboard hand-painted skeletons with crepe paper accordion limbs would have him shitting his pants.

In all reality tho, that dude is scared of that someone ringing his bell being a 3-letter agency. That response is one of someone into some shit he is scared of spending life behind bars for and he'd rather go out rootin' tootin' shootin'!
