We're more in danger of dying in a car accident. But I dont see anyone rushing to ban cars.Americans have been fed the lie that gun ownership keeps them safe for so long that they refuse to believe otherwise despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary.
You folks are scared to death of terrorists but fail to recognize that you are in more danger of being shot by a friend, neighbour or family member with a gun than being killed by a terrorist.
If you cause mayhem in your car...your insurance pays your victims. We should require gun owners to have the same liability insurance.
OK argue with this:
Estimates over the number of defensive gun uses vary, depending on the study's population, criteria, time-period studied, and other factors. Higher end estimates by Kleck and Gertz show between 1 to 2.5 million DGUs in the United States each year.[1]:64–65[2][3] Low end estimates cited by Hemenway show approximately 55,000-80,000 such uses each year.[4][5] Middle estimates have estimated approximately 1 million DGU incidents in the United States
Defensive gun use - Wikipedia the free encyclopedia
Even if you accept the mid range estimates 1 million DGU's per year are significant, hell even the low end estimates (55,000-80,000) are significant.
Except hemenway is a hack......his main study that he uses is the National Crime Victimization Study....he uses that one because it has the lowest number for defensive gun use...why is it's number so low compared to all the other studies....1) it is not a self defense gun study 2) they never actually ask respondees if they have used a gun to stop a crime.....not once....anywhere in the survey........
And voluntary responses from the respondee where they bring up if they used a gun are noted......and then used by anti gun extremists to say it is the definitive study on gun self defense.
They admitted in the link that the NCVS only asked a minority of people about DGU's, so yes the number is low, but even as I pointed out, the numbers are significant and in themselves justify private gun ownership.

Actually, the NCVS only ask..."Did you do anything to stop the crime" they never use the word gun........at least in the past unless they tightened it up....which I doubt....and it was also shown that the NCVS...which is supposed to chronicle sexual assault can't even do that right......or domestic abuse.....

I can't really say exactly what they ask, I told them to go away when they showed up at my door. The problem is they kept coming back until I got my congressman involved, even threats of trespassing charges didn't deter them. They tell you the survey is voluntary, until you refuse to participate, then they insist you do. I didn't.

I read a study a few years ago where people who has used guns to defend themselves told their stories of what had happened which were transcribed and read by court judges. The judges based their findings solely on the words of the gun owner and did not interview the anyone else involved. In the vast majority of cases, the judges found that the gun owner was the "aggressor" in these encounters, illegally so, and not the person they were purported defending themselves against.

If guns were keeping people safe, the US wouldn't have the highest rate of gun deaths in the first world. It's just that simple.

If gun violence is SO BAD in the USA to justify banning good people from owning guns, it means there is so much crime all good Americans should be packing M4 full auto assault rifles, ceramic body armor and Fragmentation grenadesThere were 316,500,000 Americans in 2013
33,636 of which died when killed with a gun.
United States Total Number of Gun Deaths
--Now, when you factor in actual math--
Those 33,636 deaths were all of 0.01% of the entire 2013 US population.
If that exact number died of each year, it would take 9400 years for the entire 2013 population to die from that rate of gun violence.
316,500,000 / 33,636 gun deaths per year = 9,409 years
This fear mongering is laughable. And useless. Liberals consistently exaggerate the severity of gun violence to push for gun control.
Now, take medical malpractice. From 2008 to 2011, an estimated 210,000 to 440,000 people died each year from medical malpractice. That makes it the third leading cause of death in the US behind heart disease and cancer. Guess where deaths caused by guns are ranked?
John James a New Evidence Based Estimate of Patient Harms 2013 1
You obviously didn't read the link on the Harvard study. These were not court cases or crime scene interviews. These were interviews with people who said that they had used their guns to defend themselves - some of the 1 to 2 million of the lives you right wingers claim to have been saved by their guns.
Their interviews were given to judges who read the gun owners accounts. The judges had no testimony from other witnesses, only the gun owner. The judges said that in the vast majority of cases there was no self defence. There was criminal aggression on the part of the gun owner.
This was not a court of law, there were no cops and no charges. This was simply a case study in which judges participated.
Well aren't you the cat's ass!!!
Some of us manage to go our whole lives without putting ourselves in a position where we might need to pull a gun and you, Mr. Earp, seem to go out of your way to use yours.
I do hope that you're not compensating for shortfalls in other areas.

yeah like those poor folks who just got wasted in a church. bet they never figured that would happen in a church
and why do leftwing retards always pretend gun ownership is about some sort of compensation
actually you are right. I compensate for the fact that I am but one and cowardly criminals often attack in pairs.
so I compensate by having weapons so I can kill criminals quickly and efficiently if I have to
now go back to dreaming about some well hung liberal gun hating man giving you a big stiffy

I get it now.....lefty, anti gun extremist men are.....lacking in that area...so anti gun extremist chicks dream about real men....even as they try to deny the desire....classical bad boy fixation of an immature woman....

You really are a stupid cooze
You really are the quintessential dirt bag. Only unsocialized punks, post vulgar misogynist idiot-grams. You have never to my knowledge posted anything substantive, but never miss posting pathological hate typical of misanthropic curmudgeons
That was meant for me, right? Or do you just post the EXACT SAME THING ALL THE TIME?
No CF, I don't think you're a dirt bag, though you are the archetype for the idiot-gram (I suspect you think you're clever, you're not). You're simply a run of the mill partisan hack with very little of interest to write about, and yet do so ubiquitously.
Pot, meet Kettle
You're entitled to your opinion, as insipid as it may be. Are you proud of this post, does it give you a sense of accomplishment?
