People discuss "guns" on this site! Oh my!
Seems to me these discussions are healthy and a good source for ideas to protect someone. Look at some stats:
The city of Chicago had 500 + deaths this past year due to gun violence. Of course, 80 percent were gang related. They have one of the most restrictive gun control policies in the U.S.
Gun-free zones have the highest rate of gun violence: Schools, churches, convenience and liquor stores, banks and credit unions, homes in cities where you cannot own a gun.
Gun and ammo sales are going great. My sources for target ammo is OUT for now. No idea when they will get their shipments in. Thank you Mr. President for being gun salesman of the year. :P
The idea of restricting access of weapons to mentally ill people is already fading from the news. This Swiss gunman was mentally ill. They took away his personal weapons long ago. A deranged person can always find an alternative way to cause mayhem. The population of Switzerland is about 8 million. The U.S. about 315 million. You cannot compare the two.
What about the lives that are saved every day because of a responsible person stopped a crime with a gun. I can find stories all the time if you just search. The anti-gun media will never report it.
Ok, maybe we should not discuss these things. Someone may be
offended.
Well then, maybe we should chat about the
30-40 thousand people killed on our highways each year. That's not much of a topic on AD. A good number of violent deaths because of DUI. I don't see much in the media when a car full of kids are killed by a drunk driver.
I have a first cousin who's husband was killed by a drunk driver. The drinking laws are there. Those who flaunt the law will still drive. Difference?
