For a very long time, gun control proponents would insist that having a gun was a mistake,
I've been told this numerous times by LE giving trainings. Cops aren't normally gun control proponents. Wonder why they said that. Wonder why the military bases are virtual gun free zones.
I read your articles and they are examples of guns being used effectively for self-protection. It doesn't actually dilute my argument, either, that massive numbers of people carrying guns also leads to unnecessary shootings. Guns kill people. Who gets killed is the trick to whether we think it's a good thing or a bad thing.
My belief system isn't wrong. Ask Australia. Ask any country with strict gun control about their gun kill rates. It works.
Australia...gun crime going up.
Britain..gun crime going up....
Yes...back in the 90s gun control opponents and up to this day, they still hate guns in private hands.......and they were wrong.....from about the 90s, gun ownership has gone up, to 320,000,000guns in 2013 to 357 million guns in 2014....
Accidental gun deaths went down...you guys were wrong.
gun murder rates went down.....you guys were wrong..
The violent crime rate went down....you guys were wrong...
Your entire system of beliefs about normal, law abiding citizens owning and carrying guns is wrong, in the past and today...after decades of people owning and actually carrying guns.
1,500,000 million defensive gun uses each year according to bill clinton.....
in 2014, only 8,124 gun murders.......most of them committed by criminals against other criminals...
Can you tell which number is bigger....
And the other countries you talk about......their criminals have access to guns....in Britain, Australia, France...Europe....their criminals just don't commit murder as often..that is the only difference.....gun control doesn't work for what you guys believe it is for...keeping guns out of the hands of criminals.....all it does is ensure normal people can't have guns....criminals...get all they want.
