Yet another citizen enjoying his second amendment freedoms
A small price to pay
And you would be wrong...nothing in the 2nd Amendment permits murder. In fact, the 2nd Amendment is enshrined in the Bill of Rights and the Constitution so that normal, law abiding citizens can stop murder of innocent people....
Try doing some actual research.....your posts will be more interesting.
But nothing makes the job easier than being able to select the weapon of your choice thanks to the second amendment
"Second Amendment: Protecting the rights of murderers for over 200 years"
Wow....you really are stupid. And with every post you show how stupid you are........
Each year, according to bill clinton with research supported by Obama's CDC, Americans use guns to stop violent criminal attack 1,500,000 times.....saving lives in the process.
That a criminal uses a gun illegally to commit murder seems to be beyond your understanding. That governments, the very groups that anti gunners think should be the only ones with guns have murdered well over 100 million people in the modern period....and that justifies disarming 356,991,876 million guns in private hands......is really just the simplistic thinking of someone whose brain has not developed past the age of 12.
Still trying to sell that bogus 1.5 million number.......didn't work before, doesn't work now
No...the number comes from bill clinton and his Department of Justice study...which is backed up by research by obama's CDC...and all the other studies conducted by both private and government agencies researching defensive gun use...
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....

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)....
