Day in day out its the same liberal media that won't report anything to oppose their desired narrative.

Propaganda is not only what is reported but what is ignored.

Accidental drownings are much more common than accidental shootings yet we don't ban backyard swimming pools or boating at the lake.

Accidental drownings don't take out the guy standing next to you.

It doesn't surprise me in the least that "good guys" with a gun are more likely to shoot themselves in the foot or accidently shoot someone near them. I mean read the posts from all the pro-gun types.

Would you trust these people with a firearm around you?

Not without wearing some Kevlar.

What you don't understand is that if guns were outlawed all the bad guys would do is just drag you to the nearest swimming pool and drown you.

Funny how people always bring up cars and the number of deaths due to accidents or drinking or other bad car behaviors.

Yet every year, we as a civilization put so much money into improving the safety of cars trying to make them more idiot proof. At the same time we battle to get rid of drunken or even tipsy driving. The number of car related deaths are constantly coming down. At the same time, how often at there developments to make guns any safer. Aren't they in fact TRYING to make them deadlier?
