I am steaming right now. How I would love to be snarky and rude to a poster on Nextdoor, but I cannot because I’m a moderator.

A man started a thread about how last night someone kicked in his door while he was asleep. He woke up with the noise grabbed his shotgun went downstairs, cocked the shotgun and pointed it at the intruder. The intruder ran out with his hands up saying “please don’t shoot me.” Over and done.


The jerk I am mad at literally responded to this post saying ”guns never solve any problem, they do not protect people. “And then he became very argumentative about how guns are so bad throughout the thread.


oh my God. Literally, the man who started the thread was the victim of a crime that could have turned dangerous for his person. Literally he scared off the intruder with his gun. In the situation how can anyone claim the gun never solved any situation ever?

It’s a perfect example of why I want to leave the city. It is not the idiots who break into houses, it is the idiots who in the face of reality make posts such as “guns never solve any problem. “I just can’t With these people. That doesn’t mean I think everyone should have a gun. That doesn’t mean even I should have a gun. I’m just saying in this case, game over and win-win with no one hurt, thanks to the presence of a gun used appropriately.
