Show me an example where an armed woman stopped a mass killing
Otherwise, we are talking NRA fantasies
In relative terms there are not that many mass killings, nor is there a proportionate number of armed women -- or armed citizens in the general sense for that matter.
We have 300 million guns out there
They do not seem to be doing that good a job of keeping us safe
Really...that is a bunch of crap.....there were over 320 million guns in private hands in2013 and a grand total of 505 accidental gun deaths.
there were 8,124 intentional gun murders....using guns illegally mainly by career, violent criminals.....
Normal gun owners, 11.1 million carrying guns in 2013.... And the hose normal gun owners used their guns 1.5 million times to stop violent criminal attack and to save lives...
Not one, real world statistic supports anything you say, or anything you propose to allegedly deal with the criminal gun violence we have.....
Not one statistic.....you are wrong.
Your dgu numbers are not real world. They are from really old studies that surveyed a small handful of people and extrapolated the numbers. Your 1.5 doesn't not represent the real world, just bad math.
Nope……they are from one study of many conducted over 40 years…..done at the request of an anti gun President, and conducted by anti gun researchers trying to refute Dr. Gary Kleck's research and the research of all the others…and they came up with 1.5 million defensive gun uses……….
I just averaged the studies......which were conducted by different researchers, from both private and public researchers, over a period of 40 years looking specifically at guns and self defense....the name of the researcher is first, then the year then the number of times they determined guns were used for self defense......notice how many of them there are and how many of them were done by gun grabbers like the clinton Justice Dept. and the obama CDC
And these aren't all of the studies either...there are more...and they support the ones below.....
A quick guide to the studies and the numbers.....the full lay out of what was studied by each study is in the links....

Journal of Quantitative Criminology--- 989,883 times per year."
(Based on survey data from a 2000 study published in the Journal of Quantitative Criminology,[17] U.S. civilians use guns to defend themselves and others from crime at least 989,883 times per year.[18])

*****************************************
If you take the studies from that Kleck cites in his paper, 16 of them....and you only average the ones that exclude military and police shootings..the average becomes 2 million...I use those studies because I have the details on them...and they are still 10 studies (including Kleck's)....
