If you truly care about saving lives, you would start with banning alcohol and private swimming pools.
Don't you think it is pretty pathetic that people need guns here to protect themselves?
In the last month alone over 900 people have been killed by uneeded guns in our society.
I have always said that you cannot get rid of crime or killings but to increase it by having so many guns in circulation is absolutely absurd and moronic.

No it is not. This country was founded by guns and we fought off the English with guns. Guns are necessary for a free State.
You aren't going to save the 900 people even we have a 100% gun ban. Please show me a society there's no gun and no murder.
Step out of your denial and face it. There are evil people living in this world. They have no remorse gang-raping 4 years' your daughter and cutting your wife into pieces slowly.
Ok OP did you even read the damn article you posted and watch the video. It was a split second decison and she fought off her attackers with the gun going off several times during the fight. She's beating the crap out of one of the scum bags and the gun is spraying bullets everywhere thats when they took off.
I'd say if she didnt have the gun she probably would have been raped and or killed as well as who know what would have happened to the kids.
OOPS thread fail next time read the article you attach to make your point.
Exactly Bulldogdad;
you got it right. If that gun had not gone off, who knows what her outcome would have been.
Burglars, and those who break into your home, do not plan on anyone being home at the time they break in.
Just ask two of my dead realitives, who are dead, becasue of this reason. People break into your home today, and find you home, they will kill you.
I do say though owning guns for protection myself, having had 2 members of my family murdered in the pricavcy of their own homes. Learn how to shoot, how to properly store the gun, how to clean the gun, and know when it is you need to shoot the gun for your own safety.
Does not do any good to own a gun, if you do not know how to use the gun properly, load the gun, store the gun safely, and clean that gun.
Having had two family members murdered, in their own homes, i am not taking a chance with the life of my loved ones, nor my own life due to scumbags and the junk of society.
Why don't we talk about the past couple of months, with breakins, and the good guys winning the battle, talk about that!
We can train and train but who knows how one will react when the poop hits the fan? It sounds like there was a desperate and stressful situation here when this lady shot herself but I'm happy that she had the gun to send her attackers running. Sadly today you cannot tell how someone will react when cornered. We have so many addicts that break into peoples houses looking for cash and it is scary to think what they are capable of under the influence.
I'd rather brandish a gun and be ready to use then to cower and pray that some dope head doesn't beat me and leave me for dead.
The title of this thread was deceptive but there is the media twisting things up for sensationalism.
