We don't need no steenking STATISTICS!.................
The FBI estimates about two to 2.5 million violent crimes are prevented by the use of guns by the law-abiding each year.
How about just plain common sense.
Around twice a year, in my relatively small media market, there is a story about a home invader being shot and killed by a homeowner.
I don’t need any statistics to understand the value of owning a gun.

Its a proven fact that as CC increases crime goes down.

Flipping it on its head, the study/statistics that most gun control people rely on is the Kellerman study,
and it’s been thoroughly debunked.

I still have not seen any study that shows that dhimmicrats are human. I think the jury is out on that one too.

Next time he pisses you off, threaten him with a gun.
That will shut him up.
[I am,of course kidding.]
The problem is that personal gun ownership is not really necessary in order to reap the benefits. The benefit accrues to those who “might” have guns. The issue is one of deterrence, which has never been fully appreciated by the left in the case of nuclear weapons or guns.
The best information was in the post yesterday which had statistics for murders per capita demonstrating that Plano Texas was at the bottom of the list. The U.S. cities with the most stringent gun regulations were also those with the worst murder rates.
In a recent poll of theives, 9 out of 10 preferred to rob and assault people who are unarmed. The 10th is now dead.
Disarming ALL the decent(law abiding) people...
SO... they cannot defend themselves against the UN-decent ones(law breakers)..
is an idea hatched in a criminally INSANE mind...
you can NEVER disarm the criminals..
Remind your coworker that they made a movie about a nation where only the police and military were allowed to have weapons.
It’s called “Shindlers List”.
The study is asinine in that it does not differentiate WHO is being shot as a result of the presence of firearms. Of course there are more shootings in the presence of firearms; shooting is the purpose for which people have guns.
Traffic fatalities are lower in countries without cars, too.
That such a discrepancy does not jump out at your co-worker is indicative of “confirmation bias” rather than a reasoned inquiry into the public utility of firearms.
Either salon or slate is published from inside a mental institution. Maybe ur friend knows which one it is.
Any stat that would supposedly measure “more guns make our communities safer,” or “guns increase the risk of homicide accidents and suicide” are so unreliably vague as to be worthless.
The Bill Whittle video lays it out in simple math. If you’re like me, you read faster than you view audio/visual. Read the transcript instead:
