I'd say we have an education problem after reading your display on this thread.

Besides a gun, what allows a 100 lb woman stop a 275 lb man that is intent on harming her at that moment.

At a gas station down the road from me, a woman used her gun to stop a man with a knife who jumped in her car.

The NRA seriously needs to feed you all some new material for talking points! That one just doesn't cut it after, yet again, another mass shooting.

Thanks. It’s nice to see you have no answer at all. I figured as much. I’m sure, since you now know your views are vacuous, that you will trot off to other threads and spew the same nonsense because agenda trumps reason.

It’s funny because you’re getting your keester handed to you from all different directions and you just play cute.

That must have meant a lot to you because you held on to that article for over 4 years.

Here is how the conversation goes:

Gun-grabber, "Outlawing guns will get them off the streets."

Sane person, "Why don't other prohibition laws like for drugs keep them off the streets?"

Gun-grabber, "Oh, so you want to get rid of laws. Only guns can be used to kill a lot of people."

Sane person, "The box truck in Nice killed/injured far more."

Gun-grabber, "But crazy gun owners will be shooting innocent people."

Sane person, "How many times has that happened?"

Gun-grabber, "It only hasn't happened because gun people are too cowardly to do anything."

Sane person, "people protect themselves with guns all the time."

Gun-grabber, "So why don't you make nukes legal for regular people to have."

In other words, gun-grabbers just spew nonsense.

You never heard of Google?

I remember it because it is a gas station my wife and I use a lot because it's the closest one to us.

Would it have been better had she been raped and murdered?

The state of Texas, pop. 29 million, had 7 less mass shootings than the city of Chicago, population 2.7 million.

26.3 million more people yet 7 less mass shootings than the very blue city of Chicago.

I think we're on the 'same side'. But just to be clear, IMO, if you take out the mass shooters and gang violence, there is remarkably little gun violence considering the number of guns in this country....
