There is one other, now well established, little factoid that completely destroys any argument for gun control: Annually, legally owned guns are used anywhere from 1.5 to 2.5 million times to defend a citizen from a criminal. In most of those cases merely pointing the gun at the criminal is enough to stop him.

The life and property saved annually by private citizens with legally owned guns in literally incalculable. It is an irrefutable fact that disarming the populace will cost far, far more lives than it saves.

Always remember one thing: Progressives believe that there are too many people on this planet. They also believe that they are the “elite” and enlightened and deserve to have this world to themselves.

So, their goal is to kill YOU. They want to disarm you and I because we threaten their ownership of the world. The lives they want to save are theirs.

Yet we treat them a people with a different set of politics and nothing more. Trying to coexist with them is like keeping a rabid badger in your house and just moving from room to room to avoid him.
