Yeah but just imagine the carnage if people didn’t have their own guns to defend themselves.Basically some moron let's his 11 year old daughter play with guns but she responsible apparently so everyone should be allowed to carry them.
Sounds sensible if you ignore the 15 thousand gun murders a year.

It’s in minus figures.How many thousands of deaths are prevented due to guns.
I fully support the 2nd amendment rights of US citizens.
On an absolute roll this week, Marty
It’s in minus figures.
The fact is in a scenario where a criminal comes up against Joe public have a go hero gun owner it’s almost always the criminal who comes of unscathed. You’re multiple times more likely to be killed with a gun in America if you legally own a gun yourself.
Most common scenario is robbery and burglary when a have a go hero pulls a gun and the more experienced at handling a gun in a fight criminal promptly shoots you before you even realise that in all your excitement you’ve left the safety on.
Accidental shootings. Children for instance in America are 11 times more likely to be accidentally shot (usually by themselves or a sibling) in America than any other developed country in the world. All because they know where daddy keeps his gun and they think it’s a toy.
Suicide. Access to guns means suicide by gunshot is high in America. Now you could argue that they were going to kill themselves anyway and in grown men that’s certainly true as men tend to commit suicide in violent and effective ways. Women and teenagers on the other hand tend to use less violent forms of suicide such as overdose, which has a far lower success rate and many survive, regret, receive treatment and never go on to try again. You can’t do that when you’ve blown your brains out. And suicide in women and teenagers by gun is far far higher again in the US than other developed countries.
You’re buying into an absolute myth.
No conjecture. You can choose your own opinions but you can’t choose your own facts.So, what you're saying is, they need better training with firearms, so they can be more 'competitive'. Even after that waffle, which is purely conjecture, I still support the 2nd amendment rights of US citizens.
Paranoid society,social media transferring it worldwide I'm afraid.They're all nutters.

I love the place, and I've met some fantastic people but when you get onto this subject you just have to give up because they area absolutely brain washed. The statistics don't lie.
Going by the logic in the article in the OP you'd let 11 year olds drive cars, it's fucking nonsense.
You wait until everyone moves on to tanks for the safer option.
Just searching around for the Onion article which absolutely nails the issue.
‘No Way To Prevent This,’ Says Only Nation Where This Regularly Happens
So, what you're saying is, they need better training with firearms, so they can be more 'competitive'. Even after that waffle, which is purely conjecture, I still support the 2nd amendment rights of US citizens.
Where did you hear that?You can buy bullets in supermarkets in America.

I believe the figure you are using also includes accidental deaths and deaths by law-enforcement, so they aren't all murders.Basically some moron let's his 11 year old daughter play with guns but she responsible apparently so everyone should be allowed to carry them.

I believe the figure you are using also includes accidental deaths and deaths by law-enforcement, so they aren't all murders.
But regardless, most gun deaths in the US are suicides.
That's not an argument for guns, just putting things in perspective.

You can find them in sporting goods stores though.

Fucking lunatics.
Where did you hear that?
You certainly can't buy them in supermarkets in Arizona.
Maybe Texas, but I lived in Texas for a couple of years and never saw them where I shopped.

But unless you're clearly geriatric get ID'ed if you try and buy a lager.
I was in Yankee stadium in the summer and a man clearly in his 70s/80s was ID'ed when he wanted to buy a beer in the stands. He didn't have any so was refused.
Mad cunts.
