What do you think about gun control?

[BrianSoddingBoru4]

By it's nature, the number would be a wash.  No matter how you look at it, it's someone getting shot.

Not necessarily. A man enters a home intending to kill all six people living there. Instead, one of the people gets to a gun and manages to shoot and kill the intruder. One person dead vs. (potentially) six people dead. Not a wash.

 An unlikely scenario to be sure, but not an impossible one. But that’s my point - unless we know the motive of ANY person shot by a civilian, it’s damned difficult to know how many lives are saved by guns. But we can be fairly confident that it’s not the 300 000 FA imagines it to be.
