Except that statistically, you're 8 times more likely to be shot with your own handgun then you are to use it on someone else.
Except that in real world testing, the majority of women weren't even able to remove a handgun in time from their bags in order to stop a bad guy.
Except that accidental shootings involving both adults and children occur every single day in the US.
Except that there are plenty of non-lethal and very effective alternatives for self-defense, and most of us will never need such things.
You want a gun for self-defense? Great, it's the law of the land and has been supported by scotus. Just know it's not nearly as effective as most people think it is.

@strangerthanfiction You said it deters crime...clearly it doesn't. Crims know cops carry guns, does it stop them wanting to be crims? Obviously not.

Word.
Having said that, that very sane person who has a firearm for defense could go insane from some trauma or bottled feelings, and now it's a huge issue.
Guns make us more powerful, like cars. It's good in the hands of good, and bad in the hands of bad. Just a tool.

Until you shoot your wife because she pissed you off...or your neighbor...or you know, until your kid gets ahold of the gun and goes and shoots up a school. But hey! Keep that second amendment right to protect yourself. I mean..when is the last time your house was broken into? When was the last time you were attacked?
I can protect myself in many ways. No need for a gun.

@JaggedLittlePill actually my house was broken into about 3 weeks ago and guess what me having my gun and chambering a round is what got him out, or it could have been me pointing it at his head.
If you want I can even show you the police report and *gasp* the video from my security cam of him running like a little bitch out the front door. But that's ok stay in your little bubble hun with your gun free zones.

@black4white precisely my point
black4white · 56-60, M
@JaggedLittlePill i dont get your point... i am a very well repsonsible gun owner i own minimal 10 weapons... and have never came close to any kind of incident...so when people say they are responsible gun owner its kinda like saying you are a good friend/parent/sibling...some are and some are not and the only way you know is thru time
JaggedLittlePill · 46-50, F
You just made my point. Who is to decide what people are actually going to be responsible? They can all claim to be ...and still do something irresponsible.

There’s nothing wrong with owning a firearm for offense either, or fun, or any other reason. It’s a constitutional right
