No I don't want a gun to defend myself I want to be a victim like the liberals want to be.
A gun in the home is 43 times more likely to kill a member of the household than a bad guy.
Prove it.
Nothing like placing the burden on the victim to make a split second decsion, and punish them if they make the "wrong" one.
The victim, in this case, illegally had a loaded weapon in his store. There was no split second decision to be made because the gun SHOULD have been in a locked box in his home. He was charged with attempted murder because the robber did not attack him at all, rather brandished the pocket knife in an effort to obtain cash.
In Canada, we value life over things. You cannot shoot someone to prevent him from stealing your stuff. Stuff is insured and can easily be replaced. Life cannot.
Too bad not all criminals agree with you.
Actually, it can be taken away any time the majority thinks it's a good idea.
There are no rights, only privilages, and you guys abused the privilage for the last time.
You just succinctly enunciated the moral code of a thug.
Not at all...
I'm just tired of watching kids die because you have a fetish...

Given the homicide rate is lower in Canada - which country is doing better at stopping crims?
Maybe this stat is on everyone can agree on.
The risk of homicide is three times higher in homes with firearms (Kellermann, 1993, p. 1084).

That would assume that both countries have the same number of criminals.

I have.
Kellerman study.... Look it up on a non- gun-fetishist website. It's enlightening.

Are you suggesting the US has 20 times more criminals than any other developed country?
That seems a rather bizarre claim.
No, Dragonlady is entirely correct, and this has been proven in extensive studies.
Wrong, she's full of shit. The study her theory is based on has been debunked 100 times in this forum.
Squealing "I don't want it be true" isn't debunking, guy.
Bebunking would be proving that Kellerman got his numbers wrong. He didn't.
For every bad guy shot, there were 39 suicides, and 4 domestic homicides.

Squeeling "I want it to be true" doesn't prove it's true, asshole.
The study was debunked numerous times in responses to your posts. You know it's a bogus study.
Now you are just outright lying.
For example, the number of bad guys shot isn't the appropriate metric. It's the number of times people have used guns to defend themselves. In most cases a gun in is never fired. Simply brandishing the weapon scares the bad guy away.
Of course, you know this already, but like all gun control fanatics you're a lying asshole
Actually, it is EXACTLY the appropriate metric.
How many times to guys in wifebeater teashirts threaten their families with guns. Both are "non-events"....
Facts - for every gun hat klls a bad guy 43 of them kill family members.
The far right gun nuts thought a "gun appreciation day" would be a good idea to "stick it to Obama and da libs" though it backfired on them big time, literally.
Six different people were shot during the right winger's gun spank fest.
Keep it going GOP! 2014 keeps looking better and better!
"Gun activists designated last Saturday Gun Appreciation Day in an attempt to highlight their opposition to gun safety laws. The PR stunt proved to be more of an embarrassment, however, when 5 people were shot at 3 different gun shows on Gun Appreciation Day.
On Friday afternoon, an Iowa gun dealer closed out the week by becoming the sixth person shot at a gun show. The man claims he was showing off a .25 caliber pistol he thought was unloaded when he slid the action of the gun. The gun was not unloaded, and a bullet went through his left palm."

Federal data also show violent crimes committed with guns — including murders, aggravated assaults and robberies — have declined for three straight years.
Here are some other facts. The United States has the highest rate of gun ownership in the world — by far. And it has the highest rate of homicides among advanced countries. And yet, gun crime has been declining in the U.S. Firearm murders are down, as is overall gun violence – even as gun ownership increases. Read our Analysis for more insight on what these statistics mean.
