I know alot of law abiding people defend themselves with guns, but that still doesn't change how I feel about guns. I'll never own a gun out of principle. I've made it to mid-life fine without one. I'm a man and I'm proud not to be a gun owner. I hope other men out there feel the same.

Democrats/Liberals: "Why do you need a gun?"
Me: To defend yourself from getting robbed (by someone with a gun), protect your house from burglars (with a gun).

Rest of the first world civilized countries: "why do you need a gun?" American: "we have unrelenting fear of outsiders but favor killing each other instead".

Most gun owners are hunters. Much easier to kill a deer vs your bare hands. It is in essence just another tool like a saw.

The media will have to put up endless warnings about the blurry blurb over the corpse being "graphic".

In the overwhelming majority of cases where a citizen owns a firearm for defensive purposes that citizen fully understands that cut and dry isn't always cut and dry and there WILL be a thorough investigation of any defensive shooting by LE. There will be a lot of questions to answer, you will be surrendering your weapon, and your character will be examined along with it all. You won't be wanting any t shirts that say "kill em' all and let God sort em out" in a drawer somewhere or any notches on your grips.


That will not go well for you. Having been through a post defensive shooting investigation I can say with conviction that you don't want even a whiff of ...impropriety..surrounding the incident.

Actually, those 10,000 homicides can't be prevented by limiting gun access. Those homicides have everything to do with drugs, gangs, and people with a mentality of "you made me angry so I'm going to kill you". Take away the guns? Stabbings will come next.
