Wow. Trying to compare our crime rate with every war in Europe over 81 years. I'm not sure if that is the most ridiculous crap you have come up with, but it's damn near the top.So.....since 1939 if we average the number of gun murders in the U.S. by criminals with guns...it would be about 10,000 a year.
Of those murdered each year 70-80% of the victims are criminals murdered by other criminals.
Over the 81 year period today that would be 810,000 people, mostly criminals.
In the 6 year period between 1939 and the liberation of Europe in 1945.....the German socialists murdered about 12 million innocent men, women and children...
Not criminals...innocents. Who did nothing wrong.....12 million murdered by the government of Germany with the help of most of the governments of Europe.
So over 81 years, our criminals, with illegal guns can't even come close to the governments of Europe in killing innocent people....
So everyone shot in Vegas would have survived if they had a gun?
The solution is kevlar battle gear.

OOPS. Option 3In mewrrykuh-stan 2 options.
1.Shoot. Kill. Call da po-po and tell 'em no hurry.
2. Lock the screen door call the pop-po and scream while they tell you
" calms down nigga! I dun told ya nigga quitz screamin or I can't do shit ! What yo name, address, telefone number,email, date of birth, you bevaxxed ? Please confirmz whilez I B repeatin N shit and what color da crib be"
" Nigga hung up. Probably a prank call. Now I gots to send officer Washingon anyhoo. He gonna B pissed. Donut time ryte now. Nigga B prankin and Washington B spankin ! Troo dat !"
I prefer option one with a 12 ga. blast to the head every 10 minutes until they get there to be sure. Make sure you have several boxes.
Europe doesn't have crime. That's " Iniquely 'murkin"
I have a ruler 450 bushmaster holds 4 bullets. The only reason you want more than that is to protect yourself from someone who might have a bigger gun too. Slippery slope. What’s the cut off? If the government has ray guns or later guns do you want the citizens to have them too?Nope......the rare exception......he was firing from over 400 yards away. Had they not been trapped in the concert area more would also have survived...
This points out the main fact of mass public shootings......the target location, not the weapon, is creates the murder rate.
As this weeks shooting at the Kroger shows, and the Vegas shooting....mass public shooters do one of three things as soon as someone points a gun at them or is getting close to them with a gun..
1) they commit suicide
2) they surrender
3) they run away.
The Vegas shooter shot himself, as did the Kroger shooter, as did the Sandy Hook shooter ....as soon as men with guns approached..........
The way you save lives in a mass public shooting is to get a good guy with a gun pointing that gun at the shooter.....then they go into one of the 3 reactions....
The longer that takes, the more people are killed in the gun free zones.
The Vegas shooter shot himself as the police began to close in on his room...men with guns.

It did work in the old west....you watch too many Hollywood movies....
The truth....
Most of the gun control laws in the Old West, if they existed at all, had nothing to do with confiscation or restrictions on gun type. They had more to do with gun use by restricting and prohibiting firing pistols in city streets. And, while few opponents of gun control today would object to limitations on discharging firearms in a busy intersection, gun control laws of this extent were largely unheard of in most American cities. In fact, they were even unusual in the Old West, and using the gun control ordinance from Tombstone as an example, they were proven ineffective.
-----
There were other frontier towns with gun control restrictions similar to Tombstone. Most made it unlawful to carry in the hand or upon the person any deadly weapon within the limits of said city, without first obtaining a permit in writing. But, in those towns, as in Tombstone, in the closest equivalents to a “gun-free zone” in the 19th century, such gun control measures did little to stem gun violence, and likely provoked the infamous kerfuffle at the O.K. Corral.
----
Lots of guns, not a lot of crime
Mass violence, like what took place at the O.K. Corral, was actually infrequent. Moreover, the Old West reputation for lawlessness is unwarranted, despite, at times, an elevated number of homicides.
Crime such as rape and robberies occurred at a much lower rate than in modern America — certainly lower than in the 1970s and 1980s, when the nation was wracked by a surge in criminality. It is also worth noting that crime and gun violence has fallen steeply since the 1990s, even as gun ownership has increased dramatically.
Yea but the fact is when a town got out of control, they banned guns from those towns. Th solution wasn’t more guns.
Most towns didnt have lawlessness. So fine bring your guns to town. NYC says no guns today. The modern day tombstone
Do you really think criminals stopped being criminals when more people got guns?Now, a few questions for you....
How do you explain the fact that as more Americans owned and carried guns, our gun murder rate went down 49% and our gun crime rate went down 75%......?
Care to explain?
Over the last 27 years, we went from 200 million guns in private hands in the 1990s and 4.7 million people carrying guns for self defense in 1997...to close to 400-600 million guns in private hands and over 19.4 million people carrying guns for self defense in 2019...guess what happened...
New Concealed Carry Report For 2020: 19.48 Million Permit Holders, 820,000 More Than Last Year despite many states shutting down issuing permits because of the Coronavirus - Crime Prevention Research Center
-- gun murder down 49%
--gun crime down 75%
--violent crime down 72%
Gun Homicide Rate Down 49% Since 1993 Peak; Public Unaware
Compared with 1993, the peak of U.S. gun homicides, the firearm homicide rate was 49% lower in 2010, and there were fewer deaths, even though the nation’s population grew. The victimization rate for other violent crimes with a firearm—assaults, robberies and sex crimes—was 75% lower in 2011 than in 1993. Violent non-fatal crime victimization overall (with or without a firearm) also is down markedly (72%) over two decades.
I’m not against good people being allowed to carry gunsThe bans....as the article stated...didn't work.
Notice, in Tombstone, the one place you guys all try to point to.....the criminals ignored the gun control laws......and murdered one of the Earp brothers, and maimed another......Doc Holiday....completely ignored those rules.....
Really? You are using NYC as an example?

Everyone should have a device where if they pushed the button everyone around them in a 1 mile radius would b dead. Right?There are two guys...you miss with the first 3 ............we don't believe the government gets to tell us how many "shots," we have at saving ourselves and our families.......
And yes....whatever basic rifle and pistols the military and police have the people need to have them too........just ask the Germans, French, and the rest of Europe that handed over their people for mass murder in the 1930s-1945
Do you really think criminals stopped being criminals when more people got guns?
If so, if criminals get the word, why do criminals today continue to commit crimes when we have cameras everywhere? And did dna advances make criminals stop doing crime?
I wonder how many times a good guy with a gun stops a criminal or how much gun sales have scared them.
I don’t mind everyone having a gun. Just register them. And when you sell a gun, you have to tell the cops. I did.
