Legal Gun Stops a shooter

That is a lie. The only person deleting scientific data is tRump.

Yes, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) removed references to studies regarding Defensive Gun Use (DGU) from its website, including estimates that firearms are used defensively hundreds of thousands to millions of times per year. [1, 2]
The action occurred in late 2022 following pressure and lobbying from gun control advocacy organizations. These groups argued that the DGU data was being misused by gun-rights advocates to hinder new firearm restrictions and that the estimates lacked context. [1, 2]

I love people who open carry.

In 2016, I moved to Denver. Down in Castle Rock, I went to a Walmart. There was a old rancher all geared up. Jeans, suede jacket, boots, spurs, gunbelt with a revolver…of course Cowboy hat. Dude looked to be in his 70s.

My son said, “Dad, that man has a gun.”

I replied, “That is the last guy we have to worry about. Actually, we are safer with that guy in the store.”

The dude was straight out of a movie.

I am sure had there been an active shooter, my guy would have dropped the shooter like a bag of dirt.

I always ask why don't people shoot them in the legs.

Because they aren't SEAL team 6 operators like you, and have to settle for shooting at center mass to get hits.

Legal Gun Stops a shooter​

These are the shootings anti-gun loons hope to stop.

I always ask why don't people shoot them in the legs. I bet everyone is going to say he's a horrible shot and he should have shot to kill.

The guy got probation? LOL. Did you see how rich the place he was visiting is? His uncle must be rich.

Its called 'missing.'

 

[Oklahoma Journalist]

That was awesome. Shot the fuucker good!

 

[Zincwarrior]

Its amazing to me that the guy walks outside and the woman with the car just breezes by. I hope the good guy got a positive feedback and didn't get fired or anything stupid, which is want to happen.

There's other reasons admit it. You don't want them to sue you. Everyone knows that. How many times has a home invader sued the home owners after they shot them. Better to kill them. Dead men tell no lies. And don't come back to get you later. Oh, that's another one. If someone shot me, better kill me. LOL. You should probably kill my son too. In case I'm Italian.

Yes, legal guns are used to stop crimes, though the frequency, impact, and overall relationship between legal firearm ownership and public safety is a subject of intense debate. [1, 2]
The topic is typically understood through two primary perspectives:

1. Defensive Gun Use (DGU)

• The Argument: Advocates for gun rights argue that the mere presence or active use of a legally owned firearm is a major deterrent to violent crime. [1, 2]
• The Data: Estimates from surveys like the National Crime Victimization Survey (NCVS) suggest that legal guns are used defensively roughly 60,000 to over 100,000 times a year. Meanwhile, advocacy groups and some academic research (such as data cited by the CDC) estimate that guns prevent between 500,000 and 3 million crimes annually, often without a shot being fired.

Guns Prevent Thousands of Crimes Every Day, Research Shows

The Center for Disease Control, in a report ordered by President Obama in 2012 following the Sandy Hook Massacre, estimated that the number of crimes prevented by guns could be as high as 3 million annually, or some 8,200 every day. And there is plenty more evidence showing that guns keep...

I checked online and found some fascinating numbers. A good website with footnotes and references to authoritative sources is GunFacts.info. There I learned the following:

• Guns prevent an estimated 2.5 million crimes a year, or 6,849 every day. Most often, the gun is never fired, and no blood (including the criminal’s) is shed.
• Every year, 400,000 life-threatening violent crimes are prevented using firearms.
• 60 percent of convicted felons admitted that they avoided committing crimes when they knew the victim was armed. Forty percent of convicted felons admitted that they avoided committing crimes when they thought the victim might be armed.
• Felons report that they avoid entering houses where people are at home because they fear being shot.
• Fewer than 1 percent of firearms are used in the commission of a crime.

If you doubt the objectivity of the site above, it’s worth pointing out that the Center for Disease Control, in a report ordered by President Obama in 2012 following the Sandy Hook Massacre, estimated that the number of crimes prevented by guns could be even higher—as many as 3 million annually, or some 8,200 every day.

If you shoot them in the leg they are still capable of shooting you

In this scenario the BG was also shot in the abdomen by the good guy at least once. He did drop and dropped his firearm.

That does not change what I said

This is true. You must be able and willing to continue firing until the threat is stopped.

A side note, ASP really liked that he disarmed before the PoPo came. It is always recommended to at least re-holster as PoPo are coming in hot and don't know who the BG(s) are.

Thats not what they are saying. Most often when a gun is presented the crime stops and its never fired. That guy was stopped by a gun and not shot.
If you break into my house and find a 357 magnum pointed at your face are you going to try and rob me?

But many many many more guns are stolen after someone breaks into your home compared to the number of times you're lucky enough to be holding your gun when they break in.

So more gun violence happens because criminals break in and steal your guns.

The problem is if we make you lock them up, then it takes you too long to get them when you need them.

Gun violence and all violence has two causes. Single mother no father. Democrats refusing to prosecute criminals aggressively.

A locked gun can be accessed in 2 seconds. Most states require a gun be locked in a safe. Mine are except when Im carrying one

Legal guns stop 500000 or more violent crimes in any year. There are 14000 gun homicides you do the math.

And this disproves the claim.... how?

There's other reasons admit it.

As usual, you're full of ignorance-driven shit.

It's not true? One reason you shoot to kill is dead men tell no tales? I've talked to a lot of gun lovin cons and they all say don't give the scumbag a chance to sue you for shooting him. Which they most surely will do. It's their right. So you want to take that right to LIFE away by shooting high not low.

Even black people in the hood know below the hip is not attempted murder. Above is. You could shoot low, if you wanted to. Christian.

 

[BluesLegend]

No one who shoots or exercises 2A would ever AIM FOR THE LEG in a situation with an active shooter.

Aim for the head, it will be up the Dem's ass and the typical Dem's ass is a large target.
