so?.real numbers.....6-700 accidental gun deaths each year. Vs. 1.6 million times a year on average guns are used to stop violent criminal attack and save lives......
Can you do the math on those numbers....which is bigger?
and all by itself....6-700 accidental gun deaths in a country of about 320 million people....with at least 11.1 million carrying guns for protection.....
Again...do the math and tell me 6-700 accidental deaths by any means, in a country of at least 320 million people is a cause for concern......considering drowning kills 3,500 people a year.....I thre that in since you don't like the truthful comparison to car accidents......how about poisoning, or falls.....
1.6 million isn't a real number. You made it up Bill. And Kleck says based on his numbers most of them are criminals defending against criminals:
Kleck:
"This is true because DGUs typically involve criminal behavior, such as unlawful gun possession, by the gun-using victim, who therefore is often unwilling to report the incident."
And again...a normal, law abiding citizen carrying a gun in the 1990s for protection from violent criminals are the people in Kleck's study....but again......his isn't the only study......it is the most accurate and detailed....but only one of many......that prove you wrong....
Most defenses happen at home Bill, not carrying.
And a great number happen out in the world....so you can be raped, stabbed, beaten, tortured, and murdered....as long as you aren't at home....?
Sorry Bill but most defenses are done by criminals. Kleck says so.
No actually, he doesn't......and again...you ignore the fact his study is one out of 19 that supports high numbers of defensive gun uses....as found by both clinton and obama....two anti gunners...in fact...it is the clinton Justice Dept. study that claims 1.5 million defensive gun uses....clinton not a gun lover.....and the obama CDC study that says defensive gun uses are between 500,000 and 3 million a year......you can bet those guys lost their jobs on those studies......
