The more guns in a country the more gun deaths.

[M14 Shooter]

Curious why you want so many guns in our free society.

Because it -is- a free society, and the right to own and use firearms cannot be infringed.

 

[Captain Caveman]

And the more cars, the more car deaths.
The more unhinged libtards, the more unhinged libtard deaths.
Do we really need a thread that illustrates basic logic?

To reduce vehicles deaths, there are laws and regulations.

 

[Captain Caveman]

How many guns do you need to protect yourself or for hunting or target practice. How lethal of a gun do you need for those purposes.

And guns for self defence is a fallacy.

 

[Orangecat]

To reduce vehicles deaths, there are laws and regulations.

Indeed. Much like firearm regulations, they are not 100% successful.

 

[hadit]

The most dangerous countries are developing countries. Of the developed countries, the US gun deaths per capita is substantially higher.
Worldwide, the US has the highest gun ownership at 120.5 per 100. More than 1 gun per person. The second is the falklands 62.1 per 100 people.. Isreal is 6.7 per 100 people. If any population needs guns it is Isreal Why is the USA ligh years ahead of the world in gun ownership.

Simple reasons, the Constitution protects the right to own firearms, there has always been a tradition of firearm ownership, and gun-grabbers have not yet succeeded in eliminating that right.

 

[hadit]

And guns for self defence is a fallacy.

Except for those times when they are used to defend someone. Other than that, sure.

 

[Captain Caveman]

Indeed. Much like firearm regulations, they are not 100% successful.

Laws and regs only reduce, and only if enforced.

Are we the only country that allows gun ownership?

 

[hadit]

Are we the only country that allows gun ownership?

We're one of the few, if not the only, that protect the right in their constitution.

How can the people in these other countries survive without the freedom to buy all the guns they want?

 

[hadit]

How can the people in these other countries survive without the freedom to buy all the guns they want?

I don't have any comment on their situation. It is theirs, not mine.

 

[M14 Shooter]

How can the people in these other countries survive without the freedom to buy all the guns they want?

Your questions assume facts not in evidence, and is just another example of your ignorance, idiocy, and dishonesty.

You do not know they can, you only know they have so far.
If their current condition changes, or collapses, their survival is very much in question.

And this is the point. Guns used for self-defense are like sneeze guards at a salad bar. You really hope they never have to be used, but if they are, you're certainly glad they are there.

 

[Bell Huey]

The more guns in a country the more gun deaths.
The more mental illness does not correlate to more gun deaths
current study debunks the widely quoted hypothesis that guns make a nation safer.

The number of guns per capita per country was a strong and independent predictor of firearm-related death in a given country, whereas the predictive power of the mental illness burden was of borderline significance in a multivariable model. Regardless of exact cause and effect, however, the current study debunks the widely quoted hypothesis that guns make a nation safer.

Ok. Take the state of NH. They have some of the least restrictive gun laws in the country. Constitutional Carry. No permitting or registration of AR STYLE weapons. 46% of adults own a gun. Yet NH is arguably the safest state in the country.

How does that work?

Clearly, some insist that we have to focus on the symptom of a problem (guns) while ignoring the actual problem (violent crime).

In last 25 Years Carry Permit holders have stopped more shootings than LEOs ( By Far )
