      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.
