Guns

But don't you know statistically you're more likely to shoot yourself or a family member!!!111111 Sure, those statistics include mentally unstable people. It includes some of the dumbest people you could imagine, and people that intentionally committed murder and lied about the circumstances to avoid punishment.

Everyone knows statistics derived from an incredibly diverse population and be applied to individuals! That's just science!

How would guns have helped in the George Floyd case?

Is this a serious question?

Do you believe armed protesters are easier or more difficult to suppress?

I don't think that question is as simple as you think. Peaceful protest is much more likely to garner public support, at least until things are critical. And taking weapons to a protest in the US seems like an almost guaranteed way to die, one way or another. Not saying the cops are well trained with weapons, but neither are the general public.

I've had two different very realistic dreams (years ago) where I shot someone and both of them were terrifying. It's not something I'd look forward to. It'd definitely ruin my week if not my entire month.

I choose to.protect my body by you not having guns.

[email protected]

Yeah. Absolutely.

I'm sure this sounded convincing in your head.

Its the entire argument in a nutshell yes

I mean, that's what the battleaxe by my bed is for.

I don't really have the space, time and money to make a hobby of it unfortunately.

If you want to effectively protect yourself, invest in actual home security measures.

I already have cameras up around my home, and locks on doors and windows (plus CO and Smoke detectors, because that shit probably kills too). I'm more worried about idealogical/theological fanatics in the near future than I am about a potential robber or serial killer.

I didn't mean make it your entire world or anything lol, but fair enough, to each his own.

The best way to stop a good guy with a gun is to shoot before you know he has one.

You are seriously arguing that the corruption in our police system means there is no protection? This is objectively false.

I would trust an officer over Ultragagginggunnut any day of the week.

The only prisoners are our school children who have to drill for gun violence in their school. Kids who live in fear that their classmates will kill them because they brought another gun nutters unsecured gun to school.

The prisoners are the wives and partners of every abusive gun owner. Scared to leave because they know that it could cost their lives. You ever been raped at gun point? Yeah, didn't think so.

The prisoners are our society that has to deal with the commercialization of gun ownership and the radicalization of the NRA. Everyday they make our society more unsafe in the name of profits.

The problem isn't guns, it is people like you that think they solve problems. Guns create problems not solve them.

They need to be tightly controlled to keep them away from people who are mentally unwell. People that think they are the "prisoners" fantasizing about defending their rights and overthrowing the government.

And in some places the 'h' is silent

I agree. I would much rather rely on myself for protection. Forget trusting the cops, I don't trust the prosecutors. There are so many liberal prosecutors who are just drop cases, and judges who set low bail, or refuse to impose certain sentence types on repeat offenders, etc. People who want to take away guns are retards.

Countries that "don't have much gun crime" = countries with acid attacks
