Rdean has a problem with understanding right and wrong......he is a left wing regressive and as we all know, their brains do not process facts, the truth, or reality properly.....and they really can't process the difference between right and wrong....
Considering that there were 8,124 gun murders in 2014.....but each year Americans use guns to stop violent criminal attack and save lives 1,500,000 times according to bill clinton.......those numbers are hard for him to understand.......
Also...considering that there are now357,000,000 million guns in private hands...that means 356,991,876 million were not used to commit murder.....
So 356,991,876 million people owned, and carried guns for self defense and did not commit murder with those guns...
13 million Americans now own and actually carry their guns.......
and 8,124 gun murders happened...and according to research, 90% of those committing murder are already convicted criminals, and 70-80% of their victims are already convicted criminals....so normal people...carrying guns....do not randomly commit acts of murder with them.
and as more Americans own and carry guns....our gun murder rate has actually gone down....every year we have increased gun ownership......
So not one thing rdean implies with this thread has anything to do with the truth, the facts or the reality of gun ownership in the United STates....
But if neither of them had guns, a minor rear-ender would not have ended in a death and a serious injury. Maybe a bloody nose.
And if the 12 million men and women murdered by the Germans in gas chambers had had guns, they might have been able to stay alive....right?
Do you realize how many lives are saved each year by Americans with guns?
8,124 murdered with guns, most of the by career criminals murdering other criminals.....
1,500,000 times a year Americans use guns to stop violent criminal attack and save lives...according to bill clinton....
Can you grasp the significance of those numbers?
And again.....as more Americans now own and carry guns...the gun murder rate went down, not up.....from the time concealed carry started in Florida in the 90s, the number of Americans who own guns and now carry them has gone steadily up......and the gun murder rate went down....
Now we don't even have to talk about causation...that isn't the point right now....the point is....More Americans carrying guns for self defense did not increase violent crime or the gun murder rate specifically........so no matter what happened to these two men.......Americans carrying guns for self defense is not a problem...right?
I've pointed out to you before that the Anti-Crime legislation of the 90's had more to do with it than arming more Americans. You know full well that two big law abiding football players out for an evening in the French Quarter don't need guns for protection. Yet both of them had them in their pockets for no earthly reason and now one is dead.
I do wish you'd stop disrespecting the people killed in the gas chambers by making it seem they had some simple alternative to stop the Nazi's. It diminishes the evil of Hitler's machine and it makes it sound like the victims were all a bunch of sheep.
You, of course, pretend to not understand my post.....I said nothing about causation.....remember....we can argue that later...
It is true that allowing normal Americans to carrying guns did not increase violent crime or fun murder...that is a fact...so all of your complaining about these two guys means nothing.......
Again...1,500,000 million Americans use guns each year to stop violent crime and to save lives.....according to Bill Clinton........and most of the time they do this without ever firing a shot....
Your entire post...your entire belief system about guns, is wrong....normal, law abiding people, carrying guns for self defense does not increase the violent crime rate or the gun murder rate.....that is what the actual statistics have shown since states started,passing concealed carry back in the 1990s...
13,000,000 million Americans now carry guns for self defense...and the gun mirder rate went down....the violent crime rate went down.....,
Your entire belief system is wrong...
