    No one claimed it was.

    Having a gun is a lot better than using your **** skinners against a knife or multiple attackers though.

    Your argument is ridiculous.

    It seems you're suggesting that a firearm isn't a better choice than not having a firearm, which is just really dumb.

    But surely NOT having a gun would be the superior choice in any violent situation.

    These people....you can't make this **** up.

    No, preparing for danger is how you don't become lunch.

    Every unarmed victim of violent crime had your opinion. I'm sure the last thing to go through their head was "I wish I had a gun" though.

    Do you have a fire extinguisher and do you keep it locked up?

    A good start might be to put criminals in jail, but leftists have no desire to do that.

    Not necessarily, because it'll escalate a fist fight into a death-match.

    All street fights are death matches.

    I'm going to avoid fist fights. I'll be screaming "I don't want to fight you" at the top of my lungs and moving away from engaging.

    If my attacker continues to pursue me, and I can't get away, I'm going to draw my firearm at low ready and warn them that I will shoot them.

    If they continue to advance on me having seen my drawn firearm and having been loudly warned, then it's already a fight to the death.

    How many if instead of just the shooters having guns, their intended and unintended victims were likewise able to be armed?

    Hi, vman12.

    I did a quick check of the number of people in the United States of America incarcerated per 100,000 population compared to other nations. You can find the data at: List of countries by incarceration rate - Wikipedia

    I then checked the gun deaths per 100,000 population of the US against other countries. You can find the data at: List of countries by firearm-related death rate - Wikipedia

    Based upon the data, your suggestion must be considered as opinion, not fact.

    Regards, stay safe 'n well 'n un-shot.

    Guns are a hobby like having a fire extinguisher or bucket of sand at home is a hobby.

    Nah we mean armed robbers, assaultive persons, and rapists too. Simple thieves too when it comes down to it.

    We'll get to the lightning claim as soon as you tell us how many lightning bolts strike in the us per year in total.
    Then we'll compare that to the number of firearms in the country for a rough comparison.

    So your answer to Turtledude's question of how will you disarm the criminals but not the law abiding is : I will disarm the law abiding.

    How many of those killed possessed guns?

    All of them. We should really institute policies that actually reduce the number, not political grand standing over inanimate objects.

    Why don't we really fix the problem?
