That is the most nonsensical argument yet. You claimed that a gun in the house is more likely to harm you or your family. I say that claim has been debunked, and your reply is about a household with no guns?? lmao
Let me help you with some solid numbers.
There are roughly 65 million gun owners in the US. If you include gun related murders, gun related suicides, and accidental shootings resulting in deaths, there are +/- 30,000 gun related deaths per year. That means 0.046% of gun owners have a gun related death associated with them. So 99.954% of gun owners have no deaths related to their firearms.
Now try again with the "common sense" claim?
Okay, let's work with that number. 20K of those were suicides by gun. How many suicides total were there? And how many total people are there?
How many total people are there? In the US there are roughly 310 million.
Yes, there are about 20k suicides a year that use a gun. But that is not relevant in a serious discussion of gun control. And I will explain, once again, why it is not.
If someone commits suicide with a gun, you can be quite sure that they truly wanted to die. They were not trying to get attention or sending a plea for help. They actually wanted to end their life.
Now, if someone is determined to kill themselves, do you think not having a gun will stop them?
