Compared to the UK, we should have around 250 homicide by gun cases per year. We have over 8,500. No one said we could go to zero, without completely eliminating guns, which really isn't practical. We can find ways to reduce our present amount of homicides by gun.
I don't care about the UK.
Never did. Never will.
All I care about is not ending up the victim of a crime and having my wife burned alive like this guy
Cheshire, Connecticut, home invasion murders - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
BTW that happened not too far from me. Now tell me do you want to be the man who survives knowing that you didn't, couldn't or wouldn't protect your wife and daughters from being raped and burned alive?
If he would have acted like the world was a violent place and locked his doors and had a weapon his wife and daughters might very well be alive today.
But nothing like that ever happens in your little fantasy world does it?
Again, you want to treat the symptoms and not the disease.
While crimes like this are horrible, there's no real evidence that a gun in the house would have made a difference. The Father in this case was subdued as he slept on the couch. Whether he had a gun in the house or not wouldn't have made a difference.
And you can't tell me with any certainty if it wouldn't have made a difference. If every person in that house had access and knew how to use a weapon there certainly was a chance that those people would be alive instead of being burned to death.
The difference between you and me is that I want people to have a chance to defend themselves you want them to have no chance to defend themselves so they can be raped and burned alive.
