We can both play that idiotic game of back and forth can't we? Your "lotta dead people probably thought that too" is a worthless statement.
Yet I have no doubt it is true. And yes we can both play that game. But the fact is the majority of people will not ever need a gun to defend themselves. The statistics show that. You choose to carry and I hope it does protect you. My link has a long list of defenders who were themselves shot and killed. And that woman with the bra holster carried to protect herself and ended up killing herself on accident. I just think people need to put a lot of thought into what they are doing.
The problem we have with you is that in order for you to think any one has "put a lot of thought into what they are doing" means they have to agree with you.
The reason I stated that it was highly unlikely that I would get killed us that I have put a lot of thought and training into my own defense. But I'm sure that isn't enough for you.
Lying with statistics is not only easy, it's very common. Especially here at USMB.
Your stats do not count the number of people who were not killed because they had a gun, and no statistics exist that show how many lives were saved because a potential assailant worried that the person might have a gun. They don't exist because ibviously that isn't recorded.
I have shown in my thread "more people saved by guns" that there are an enormous number of people and property saved every day. You know too, you have participated in that thread.
I would be shocked if you can come up with stories daily. I usually count about 50 a year.
Every single day. I gave an actual job and a family and cannot devote my life to providing proof each day just to defeat a Progressive who doesn't have the honesty, integrity, or maturity to ever admit that he's wrong no matter what I do.
I think you'd be lucky to get one a week. I know I can post more accidental shooting stories than you can defenses.
I wish that this discussion board had some police power. I can prove you wrong but to what end? You aren't forced to concede, you aren't punished for being wrong. You are free to ignore my evidence and continue to spout nonsense.
You are a progressive gun grabber who will never ever admit to being wrong no matter what. Why I've wasted all this time already is a mystery. Go ahead now and pretend this is surrender and claim you win. I'm done.
