Defensive use of guns.

[2aguy]

It is the way a lot of gun crazies use their toys, sorry weapons, I assume he's using his other hand to jerk off with...

Wonder how this would have turned out if the victim hadn't had a gun....

Man holds machete-weilding suspect at gun point, arrested

He was the good guy with a gun. The problem was he shouldn't have had that gun in the first place.

The vast majority of which choose to die.
What's your point?

Enabling suicide by guns or by opioids is evil. Drug dealers get long sentences.

 

[Man of Ethics]

Ok? So?

Those who sell guns enable murder and suicide. Those who support guns share culpability for the loss of life.

Between 1999 and 2016, in USA there have been
213,000 gun homicides
336,500 gun suicides
Here.

In USA there are about 201 to 265 justifiable gun homicides per year. Here.

Sadly, many people base their support for guns on Popular Culture rather then reality. For example, most Gen X and Y people have seen thousands of acts of justifiable homicide in action movies. These people may identify more with film heroes then with real people.

You are a filthy liar.

You should try and get with the culture—real American gun culture, that is.

Many of us rural folk grew up with guns as everyday use items—tools—in constant use by our most respected elders: great grandfathers, grandfathers, father, uncles and so on. We were entrusted very early in our lives with learning to shoot (safely), breaking down and cleaning firearms, hunting, controlling wildlife on private property, shooting in school, the Boy Scouts, competitions and standing ready to defend the family spread—if necessary.

Sadly in this Century, too many people use guns to take lives.

People who sell rope must be evil as well….since hanging is on of the more popular methods of suicide…..anyone who sells rope should be arrested and all rope must be banned

More people die in automobile accidents than by shootings. Are we to ban automobiles?

The right to keep and bear arms does not enable suicide any more than the right to have a car or the right to walk across a bridge or the right to stand on a subway platform or the right to take an elevator the to the top of a tall building - if people want to die, they will find a way.

Mindless nonsense.

When analyzing the most reliable data available, what is most striking is that in a nation of more than 300 million guns, how rarely firearms are used in self-defense.

And... what?

Why do you define defense with a gun as the killing of an attacker?

You can use a gun to defend yourself without ever firing a shot, or by firing a shot that doesn't result in a death or by firing a shot an missing.

Those who sells forks and spoons enable obesity...

Define defensive gun use.

A defensive gun use does not necessarily mean you killed a person

 

[Blues Man]

There should not be any military weapons allowed among citizens.

You do know that axes, clubs, knives, sticks, stones, bows and arrows, hammers, etc were all military weapons at one time right?

I could argue that a baseball bat was a military weapon.

My "support" for guns is derived from the Constitution, not movies.
