No More Guns

[Brian37]

It would, again, have to cover quite alot, and you’re certainly free to go get those numbers so that you aren’t arguing on the basis of evidence you acknowledge to be nonexistent.

I also didn’t include those times a good guy or a bad guy or a suicidal guy with a gun shot someone who didn’t die….and there are stats for that too.

The myth that a gun will always save you, or increase the odds of survival are just that. A myth.

If the right wants to argue and point to cases where guns were used to successfully thwart crime and death, sure the right can point to such cases. But that has never been the majority of firearm interaction. Most firearm injuries and deaths have been between the victim and someone the victim knows. Most firearm deaths are from suicide. Second in line are domestic violence. Third would be violence between neighbors. Then accidental.

The Rambo Dirty Harry Patriot crap of more guns being good is just that, CRAP!

I will never own a firearm myself for two reasons. I suffer from anxiety and depression. But even beyond that, I don't want to live a life of paranoia. If someone were marking me, for robbery or murder, it would be no different than a shark sneaking up on me from bellow as if I were a seal, I wouldn't see it coming anyway. The odds of someone suddenly being confronted with a firearm being able to draw their own, knowing the other already has theirs aimed at you, is extremely low. 

One of my training program videos working at 7-11 long ago, and it is till correct today, give them what they want. Money and property are not worth your life.

I may have mentioned it before. My best friend from Oklahoma, had an asshole racist uncle who was a gun nut. He horded guns. But he still got murdered even with all those guns. He had a renter who bludgeoned him to death, most likely over lack of payment of rent.
