And yet.....more lives are saved with guns each year than killers with guns take....
Mass public shootings in 2018...12. Total killed, 93.
Bicycles killed 345
Knives killed over 1,500....
no matter how you try to hide the fact, knives kill more people than guns do in a years worth of mass public shootings.....every single year....
And guns are used 1.1 million times a year to stop violent criminals .... criminals continuously released to attack the public by democrat judges, prosecutors and politicians.....
600 million guns in private hands.
18.6 million Americans legally carry guns for self defense.
As more Americans own and carry guns? Our gun murder rate went down 49%.....you can't explain that. our gun crime rate went down 75%...you can't explain that...
Nothing you say about guns is based in truth, facts or reality...that is why we think you are a moron.
We seem to have a bit of difficulty in determining who the "good guys" are. But the fetish symbol of our fweedumb must be lionized as a golden idol.
No, actually, we don't. Members of the democrat party, in particular judges, prosecutors and politicians have a hard time with the concept that violent gun criminals should not be released on bail and should not get short prison sentences......
Our problem is not normal, good people who own and carry guns for self defense....our problem is that when the police catch actual gun criminals, the ones driving the gun murder rate, morons like you in the democrat party who are judges, release them on bond, so they can go out and shoot more people...prosecutors like you drop the gun charges so the criminal can get low bail, and short prison sentences...then morons like you who become politicians, create laws that let violent, repeat gun offenders out of prison over and over again...
That is our problem....
As more law abiding, good Americans own and carry guns?
Over the last 26 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 18.6 million people carrying guns for self defense in 2018...guess what happened...
--
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.
The anti-gun hypothesis and argument.....
More Guns = More Gun crime regardless of any other factors.
Actual Result:
In the U.S....as more Americans own and carry guns over the last 26 years, gun murder down 49%, gun crime down 75%, violent crime down 72%
The result: Exact opposite of theory of anti-gunners....
In Science when you have a theory, when that theory is tested....and the exact opposite result happens...that means your theory is wrong. That is science....not left wing wishful thinking.
