I guess, when I have three people with knives coming to kill me, I'd better throw away my handgun to increase my chances of survival.
How many times have you had 3 guys with knives coming to kill you? Why would they want to kill you?
It does not matter. It's an example.
There are people in this world who are willing to hurt you.
They're called criminals.
Yes but you make it sound so likely to happen. I am pretty old and nobody has ever tried to kill me, nor do I know anyone who has been murdered. Our homicide rate is about 4.7 per 100,000 people. I don't think in my entire life have I met 100,000 people. While our homicide rate is bad compared to many countries, you are still not very likely to be murdered by criminals.
And again with the bullshit Kellerman.
What makes you think that stat is not correct? I haven't looked into it, but the body count certainly doesn't support that many criminals are being killed. Ah, I guess the stat probably includes suicides? If so I'd like to see the stat without suicides.
Kellerman limited himself to gun deaths in the home, and it came out to 39 suicides, 3.5 homicides and .5 accidents to every bad guy killed.
The FBI's figures are even more damning. they estimate only 201 "Justifiable" homicides with guns out of 32,000 gun deaths every year.
Just remember, 32,000 gun deaths aren't a health care crisis but 1 Ebola death- EVERYBODY FUCKING PANIC!!!
Again, who cares about suicides.
And again, you ignore the deterrent factor, as usual.
But keep sucking government dick, you cheap fascist hack.
Why wouldn't you care about suicides?
You are just as dead and a gun is the leading tool used for suicide
Because someone killing themself with a gun is no justification to prevent me from owning one.

Should depresssed or crazy people have free access to guns?
I also don't think more guns eliminates crime. If more guns did that we would by far have the least crime in the world right?

1) Explain Russia then, they have almost no guns and more crime than we do...
2) Explain the research that shows as concealed carry becomes the law, the crime rate drops...
Our homicide rate is about 4.7 per 100,000 people.
And if you strip out gang murder it falls to about 1.4...on par with any other western nation...
Is a woman more likely to be raped when she's packing a deadly weapon?
Shouldn't you tell people they are more likely to be accidently shot than murdered with a gun when you are pushing them for protection?
Do your chances of survival go up when you're armed?
Is a woman more likely to be raped when she's packing a deadly weapon?
Actually on #1 I'd say they go down.

Sorry, but that notion is idiotic. If chance of survival goes down when you're armed, then we should disarm our soldiers when they're in wartime. Why oh why didn't warring nations in centuries past discard their swords in battle in order to increase their odds of survival???
n Targeting Guns, Dr. Kleck concludes in part, "Most gun accidents occur in the home, many (perhaps most) of them involving guns kept for defense. However, very few accidents occur in connection with actual defensive uses of guns. Gun accidents are generally committed by unusually reckless people with records of heavy drinking, repeated involvement in automobile crashes, many traffic citations, and prior arrests for assault. Gun accidents, then, involve a rare and atypical subset of the population, as both shooters and victims. They rarely involve children, and most commonly involve adolescents and young adults."
"The risk of a gun accident is extremely low, even among defensive gun owners, except among a very small, identifiably high-risk subset of the population. Consequently, it is doubtful whether, for the average gun owner, the risk of a gun accident could counterbalance the benefits of keeping a gun in the home for protection: the risk of an accident is quite low overall, and is virtually nonexistent for most gun owners." (p 321)

Thanks. You just destroyed your own point.
Two armies meet for battle at dawn. All is ready. Suddenly God comes down and pulls all the guns. How many casualties do you have by sunset?
Think about it.

And on the third day the armies re-equipped with sharp pointed sticks, and there was much slaughter and merriment.
How many casualties do you have by sunset?
Hmmm...I guess you never heard of Samurai, Mongols, the 30 years war....
Gun grabbers have no sense of history before they wake up each morning...we had a long period of time where there were no guns...at all...hadn't been invented yet...and people still slaughtered each other...
