    Christopher Walken agrees.

    I’ve [fired a gun] a lot in movies, but there are too many guns in the real world. I know people with guns, and they always say the same thing. “If somebody breaks into my house, I have to be able to defend myself.” But what they’re really saying is, “I hope somebody breaks into my house so I can use this thing.” It’s so wrong.

      I’m 39 years old and would you believe that my house has never been broken into? Not even once. I must be super lucky. It seems to be happening all the time from what people say.

        I’m younger than you. Had my home broken into once. Brother had his broken into three times. Not to say a gun would have helped in any of those instances, but homes do get broken into.

          Mass majority of the cases are when people aren’t home. The thieves want a quick in and out score, not to have to face a possible armed home owner. The type of person depicted in the comic just wants to kill “certain” people only and we know it’s just thinly veiled racism at this point.
