Ok, let 's explain something here regarding good guys with guns...


 
Every time the issue comes up a certain few examples of a good guy with a gun stopping an incident come up. Mind you, it's always the same exact incidents. So for a second lets assume that gun bunnies are correct. A good guy with a gun managed to stop an actual incident...ok, that is what nine over how many...decades?

How many thousands of active shooting incidents have happened over the course of the same decades? Now I admit, math ain't my strong point, but nine over thousands barely registers in the statistics of this.

Hence when these same nine incidents are brought up, and only one meets the definition of an active shooter actually stopped in the act, the rest of us tend to roll our collective eyes... Why? The meme that a good guy will be able to stop a bad guy breaks down when one looks at actual...well...definitions and statistics.

Tell you what Nads, if a good guy saves even one life with a gun, then it is worth it.

1. It sure seems to me that accidents--especially with small children--far outnumber the accounts

when a good guy has protected themselves or their family.

If you ran the numbers you would find that many more good guys with guns didn't have accidents.

3. I stopped counting a long time ago.

As a victim of gun violence (I lost my Mother when I was 17 to a "good guy with a gun") it hits home very personally for me, and I remember very well what those families feel like. They will never be the same, they will never ever forget. It changes their lives FOREVER.

The right to LIFE is SUPREME over the right to bear arms.

Would you give up the right to free speech in order to protect lives?
Hell you goons actively fight for the right to end lives all for a woman's "choice" so spare me the right to life is supreme bullshit.

4. I know. I almost became a victim

A few times (but as a medic that was part of the job). My condolences on your loss.

One reason I call bullshit with the meme is...it is stinking, and grade A Bullshit

The left uses false statistics.  When they talk about gun deaths and shootings they don't discount the justified shootings and deaths caused by police or "victims" that killed or shot their attacker/burglar.  Police shootings alone add great numbers to the total. 

OTOH, if you didn't count the shootings that occur in cities that already have strict gun control laws like Chitcago and other liberal hellholes the number would dwindle rapidly.

Another stat, if you want to call it that, is that the bad guy already comes equipped to the scene with a gun. With Chitcago's laws, the good guy is lucky to have any good guy with a gun within ten miles as thundley pointed out.

Every. Day.  Every one is cherry-picked for Narrative® correctness.  If not, it is warped to fit.  I so hate these people.  Professing superior thought processes ( :-) :-) :-) ) while spewing the most inane crap. 

Think (D)Ummies.  Use the brain that God gave you....yeah, he did......and realize that the crap you spew makes no sense.  Honestly, you are not bright, you won't win the giveaway participation trophy and what you know is nonsense.

There.

Now, go forth and abort yourselves into oblivion so we can go about fixing this friggin' mess you are making.  Your betters think that they can, somehow, indoctrinate out human behavior that you don't like.  Sorry.

Didn't work for Stalin.

Didn't wok for Mao.

When the brownshirts come for you and you are wondering what is going on, just remember that those who would have protected you from this are no longer around.  Those that gave, protected and ensured the freedom to act like petulant children, aren't there anymore.  The unparalleled prosperity that you take for granted and hate (?????) was won.  It was not stolen from anyone.  I wish you the same death that you champion on the defenseless unborn.  That glob of cells you so despise unless, it happens to be born black or Mexican, I guess.  Then again, that doesn't seem to matter either....

You people are utter trash.  Half-educated illiterates, who assume that participation guarantees some type of imparted knowledge.  You're (D)Ummies, you don't know any better.

Liberal thinking is a two-legged stool and magical thinking is one of the legs, the other is a combination of self-loating and misanthropy.  To understand it, you would have to be able to sit on that stool while juggling two elephants, an anvil and a fragmentation grenade, sans pin.

You may remember the crazy bald dwarf established that a meter consisits of sixty centimeters.

Interactive Map Shows the Number of Times Guns Have Saved Americans

Quote
  Gun control proponents cannot deny that people use guns successfully against criminals, but they tend to play down how often such events take place. The purpose of this map is to draw more attention to this aspect of the firearms policy debate.


Quote
  the map is not comprehensive. Criminals will often flee the scene when they discover that their intended target has a gun. With no shots fired, no injuries, and no suspect in custody, news organizations may report nothing at all.

Their impression of how much something happens is based entirely on how much press coverage it gets, not any actual statistics.  Well, I suppose stupidity and willful ignorance like that explains why we have a tool like Obama being elected, and then re-elected, President.

There is a father who is an armed guard for a private company that always open carries into the daycare my daughter attends.  Every day.  He comes in and hangs out at the daycare.  When the older kids have free play and play video games, he plays with them, with his gun hanging on his side.  No one ever complains.  Maybe it's just a Nevada thing.  I don't know, but it doesn't bother me.  My daughter knows that guns are NOT toys.  There has never been a shooting at my daughter's daycare.  I have never heard any other parent complain about the father who open carries.  My husband carries in there all the time, but his gun is concealed.

But you want an answer on the war on drugs? Legalize every last illegal drug, and tax the living daylights out of them.

But you are accusing me of racism, you did not address the OP


But I will address your other OP. nobody is coming to take away your guns, nobody.

Next time you accuse me of racism, you will join the rest in the ignore list.


Cause we ain't got no worries with the legal drugs now do we?
