We’re on Twitter all the time reading tweets from Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Alyssa Milano, so when something bugs us, you know it really bugs us. And what bugs us is when people use their 280 characters to repeat the same thing over and over as if repeating it enough times makes it true. Can you imagine how well that would go over in real life? Assaults would go through the roof.

Who’s at it this time? The Coalition to Stop Gun Violence, which was formed to counter the wildly popular Coalition to Start Gun Violence.

A gun in the home does not make you safer.

A gun in the home does not make you safer.

A gun in the home does not make you safer.

A gun in the home does not make you safer.

They do have a point.

True…. you need more than one. — EducatëdHillbilly™ (@RobProvince) May 8, 2019

What if a home invader makes it upstairs and your firearm is downstairs? One gun isn’t going to cut it.

That’s why I have more than one. — timbershiverer (@boarhogb24) May 8, 2019

Fair point. You need one on your person, also. — Wood Borer (@galooticus) May 8, 2019

That’s why I have several in each room. — Kommissar Kokkeler?? (@mattkokkeler) May 8, 2019

Except it does. — vlad (@dovgalec) May 8, 2019

Except, of course, for all the times in which it does. — Trevor Manning ن (@Kardea) May 8, 2019

If you are trained in how to use a gun and willing to defend your family with it, it sure does make you safer. — Larry Williams (@lordstarr) May 8, 2019

Yeah… try telling that to the human filth that tried to kidnap my cousin — Back to the usual DESPAIR (@megaman109) May 8, 2019

I will take my chances. — @frontbumpercrew (@Frontbumpercrew) May 8, 2019

This is incorrect in most cases. — Spider-Ken: Endgame (@KennedyX8) May 8, 2019

It does, actually. It's unsafe for anyone entering my home uninvited. — EC_Lee (@BigLee2A) May 8, 2019

Most burglars and home invasion specialists would disagree with you. — John W (@txradioguy) May 8, 2019

Depends on the gun.

A little 22LR Derringer would just piss an attacker off. You need something with a BIT more kick… pic.twitter.com/xZ6p0DMBE6 — WheelmanForHire (@WheelmanForHire) May 8, 2019

Yes it does. My home was burglarized. Luckily we weren’t home at the time. We also didn’t own guns at the time but now we do. It makes my family safer & gives us the ability to protect ourselves. — Morgan (@MorganSilva3) May 8, 2019

Break into a gun owner’s home, attack them, and if you’re still around, tell me how they weren’t more safe with a gun in there — 5 O’▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ (@5OClockShadow_) May 8, 2019

Until you need it. — Lee C Eldridge (@LeeCEldridge) May 8, 2019

Peace of mind is a wonderful thing. — Bill (@BillyBlue37) May 8, 2019

Funny because there’s so many people who defended themselves with guns. — You’re not even close (@release6k) May 8, 2019

Wrong.https://t.co/hqw7VkcySX — Lord Woodstone (Toss all MAPS out the airlock) (@EricMertz_KC) May 8, 2019

Try breaking in my house in the middle of the night. — Mark Bidwell (@markbidwell5) May 8, 2019

Only when you are trained in how to use it. Then it makes you much safer. — Karsten Kinstler (@KarstenKinstler) May 8, 2019

A gun in the home with someone trained to use it does make me safer. — D.K. S. (@DebKS50) May 8, 2019

A gun in the home does not make you safer. A gun in the home held by someone willing, able and trained in it's usage…now THAT makes you safer. I guarantee you my home is safer than my neighbor's home without a gun. — Leatherneck (@Leatherneck) May 8, 2019

That's partially true, the bullets tend to do most of the work. — David LaPell (@DaveLapell) May 8, 2019

Ammo usually helps too. — Alex something ?? (@Alevael) May 8, 2019

Weird. Mine does. ? — Wendy ?? (@wendyscott73) May 8, 2019

Yes it does. Stop being sexist. — Samantha ? (@samantha3050) May 8, 2019

Mine does. I’m 5 ft 2 and 115 lbs with 3 kids that depend on me to keep them safe because my husband works out of state M-F. When seconds count the police are only minutes away. — Shannon (@SLVR1981) May 9, 2019

Ever live on a farm? Do you know how long it takes the Sheriff from town to arrive? Do you know the meth addicts love rural areas to set up their labs? — KRenner (@KRenner2) May 8, 2019

You’re welcome to come test your theory at my house. — Constantine (@_sleepybrowns) May 8, 2019

True. Someone has to pick it up for it to be useful. — Steve Tefft (@stevetefft) May 8, 2019

You let me worry about what's in my home and how I decide to handle my personal safety. — Pouncing Betty (@KarrieTheBaker) May 9, 2019

Disagree completely but thanks for sharing your views. — Charlie (@Cjones32nga) May 9, 2019

Maybe they just needed to repeat it a few more times to convince people.
