but wait, those families were protected from a 1 in 500k chance someone would come into their home and they would need a gun for defense.
yeah, I love it when gun nuts list protection as a reason for a gun. I'll give you hunting or just collecting. . protection.
Its like eating uranium to protect from cancer
or installing a swimming pool as defense from drowning
guns increase risk of death and injury in a house. . .that seems simple to understand
You'll give people hunting and collecting? Well that's mighty nice of you. Fortunately people's rights don't begin and end where your feelings on what you would give them stand.
Sharp kitchen knives also increase risk of death and injury in a house. However, when used carefully and responsibly there's no issue.

You're right. THAT'S THE POINT.
Last time I checked. Stocking your house with a firearm was not to give somebody a warm and fuzzy feeling all over. Especially somebody coming in through your window.
Responsible gun owners and their love ones have accidents. To claim anyone that has an accident as not responsible is like calling a driver involved in an auto accident by no fault of theirs...an irresponsible driver.
If you knowingly had guns in your house and 4 years old's running around, would you not be watching them? No? That is what is called irresponsible....

No, when a child is killed, every gun owner is responsible, just look at this thread...whether they were there or not....

I don't know, what about the millions and millions of guns that are in house holds everyday and nothing happens? Why don't we here about that?
5 posts in...and look at the leftist crap already starting....
Gunned down....
I would be embarrassed to say something like that...but hey...the shock factor
and
"never let a crisis go to waste" signed, rahm...
Oh no, they started on post 2. Or really post 1 since the only point of the entire thread is to try and start another "we need to ban guns" thread.
Not one mention of the 138,000 schools that didn't have a shooting today, but of course there isn't any blood to dance in there or crisis to exploit in safe schools.
Malignant neoplasms and motor vehicles each killed more children than fire arms. Maybe we need to ban those too

Well thankfully, with Chicago's restrictive gun laws, you can sleep safe knowing you will never have to worry about responsible gun owners causing you grief.
There were fewer homicides per capita in the U.S. during 2012 than any year since 1961. And 1961 was a much less brutal time than the year 961. I'm not sure why so many people think we're on the road to ruin.
Now, if you're talking about Mexico, El Salvador, or any place ravaged by violent drug cartels that exist courtesy of our creation of a lucrative black market, then that's another story.
He's not mistaking anything. He knows his blather about people not caring, is a lie.
Deny all you want. Doing so just underscores that you know what you support is antisocial and therefore morally wrong.

Engaging in self-deception is something you are better off doing in private rather than making clear that you engage in it. But hey - let's see if you have any integrity - will you admit that fewer Americans want the anarchic dystopia that you want than what I want?

Given that I didn't say anything about number of people or votes, until you brought it up, I doubt anyone is duped by the lie you're telling. Of course, opponents of reasonable gun control have a hard time even seeing the letters "morality" in one string, much less being able to bring themselves to consider what they support in such terms. It isn't surprising that you simply made some nonsense up to replace what I actually have been talking about, just so you'd have some context in your own mind for your ridiculously non-sequitur prattle.
