Title: Are guns really THAT bad?
Post by: SW on April 14, 2009, 12:11:27 PM
Now, lets see a few statistics.

The rate of Defensive Gun Uses can be projected nationwide to approximately 2.5 million per year
There is a defensive gun use every 13 seconds.
15.7% of attacks someone would be likely to have died if the gun had been not used for protection.
In 83.5% of these successful gun defenses, the attacker either threatened or used force first
In 73.4% of these gun-defense incidents, the attacker was a stranger to the intended victim.
In over half of these gun defense incidents, the defender was facing two or more attackers and three or more attackers in over a quarter of these cases.
In 79.7% of these gun defenses, the defender used a concealable handgun.
A quarter of the gun defenses occured in places away from the defender's home.

My honest answer is NO!!!

We have the right to protect ourselves, our family, our home, and our property.

So, guns are essential for our own protection.

What kind of stupid question is that? Of course they aren't bad! Its protected by the second amendment!

Now if it were in the hands of a monkey, then maybe not so goo.d.

Having spent 6 years in the ADF (Australian Army) I couldn't wait to see the arse end of a weapon.

Firearms aren't bad it's the people who have them and have no respect for them. Although myself I will never own one or choose to.
