homicides:without guns the only guarantee is there will only be unarmed victims.
homicides are also committed with knives, blunt objects, poison, asphyxiation:rope, scarves, wire and bare hands
so lets also ban cutlery, rope, scarves, rocks, candle, sticks, wire and hands
suicidal people: are the people that shouldn't have owned guns. they all so do it with pills, knives, razors. rope, steeping in front of cars on the highway, jumping off buildings...
so if we ban guns we need to ban pharmacies, cutlery, shaving, rope, cars and buildings....
bullshit!
I've was stranded one night in the middle of nowhere. a group of kids showed up and and drove past a few times very slowly. the came back a few minutes later with the plate off the car, 6 punks got out holding tire irons and bats. i pull my 9mm with a 30 round clip and said ""I've got 5 shots for each of you. Then flip the clips. You kids may want to rethink this". the kids drove off.
that is an example of how guns save people from being murder victim statistic..
Yeah ... that's what I said! Sighs. That is just another big one that people freak out about.
If you don't like guns, you can choice to not buy any gun, by then. Well, you really don't need to demand everyone to be forcibly deprived of their gun rights... For your info, I don't own guns cos I don't like them.
In many proofs, that citizens who have guns have saved their lives and the lives of loved ones! I truly do understand that there are accidents with guns, and I agree that they could have been prevented. I understand that... But, still... I disagree that they could have been prevented by simply taking away the guns. Just NO. NO.
If you prefer to call the police, do you? Sure, go ahead and do it if you want. That is fine. You see, there is only about a fifteen to twenty minute to response time... even then, if there is no guarantee. NO, don't get me wrong. I do think the polices are great. They go out in what could be politely termed an urban war-zone everyday and bust their butts to keep us safe. Well, let's fact is they can't help everyone, and that's the truth.
You know that.
Okay. Basically, if I have a gun and someone broke into my home, I have someone to protect. I have my own life to protect because I do care about lives to protect. I have my home to protect as well. You have to be remember that I'm only female. I am at a disadvantage. Biology has, for anesthetic reasons, made me smaller than a man and I have less muscle tissue, too. Which means I'm both much lighter and much weaker. A gun is an equalizer between the sexes, the best one. Maces, tasers, and pepper sprays have their place in self-defense. A gun is something that I would rely on because an attacker would take one look at it. And to understand one pretty simple fact is that if I intend to live through our encounter with no harm coming to me. I am probably willing and able to use potentially fatal force to do so...
Under no circumstances would I want to shoot, for the sake of protecting myself and any loved ones there at the time, I would be willing to. There is a vast difference between advocating gun rights for hunting and self-defense, and advocating them for the use of crime or other criminal activities.
Well ... ban everything could be used to kill a human is not the answer. Cars would be gone cos they could kill humans by running over them. Ban all cars! Knives would be gone (inculding eating utensils or all kinds and etc etc) cos you can stab or cut people with them. Ban all knives! Well, near anything could be used to kill someone, so we have to live in a total vacuum... which is... uh, kill us. :roll:
Sorry, liberals, you can't demand to take our gun rights away from us. =/
