No. I'd shoot them from the bushes and rob their bleeding corpse. Free gun, score!

LOL...why do people bring up sexual activity (usually the left) when they don't like what they hear?

The data says the U.S. has higher rates of gun violence than countries with similar levels of development. Not looking good for your argument.
Apparently even a government study concedes that there are at least 100,000 self defense uses each year.

"....annual federal government research project, called the National Crime Victimization Survey, which yields estimates in the neighborhood of 100,000 defensive gun uses per year."

I fully support the 2nd amendment right to own guns and I do appreciate the NRA's work but they lost my support. I did sign up when it looked like there might be some real attacks on the 2nd but I got sick and tired of all the email's and phone calls.

Never again.

You can change your preferences on the NRA's website and they won't email or call you.

Everyone organization that relies on donors for funding does the same thing.
