All the gun defenders once again have come out to spout their meaningless cliches defending the undefendable.

Here are a few facts, however, to help arm thoughtful people in arguing with the charitably uninformed masses:

[artichokegrower]

The U.S is the most armed country in the world.

True but this fact has served us well in the past

Admiral Yamamoto: "You cannot invade mainland United States. There would be a rifle behind each blade of grass."

[KeyLargo]

Where is the barf alert?

[Westbrook]

> The U.S is the most armed country in the world.

Yes, and the areas with the fewest armed citizens have the highest crime rates.

[RandallFlagg]

I’d read that this quote wasn’t made by him.

At this point, what does it really matter? :)

[C210N]

and the areas with the fewest armed law abiding citizens have the highest crime rates...

and those same areas have the highest concentration of armed law breaking citizens

I confess not reading the link, but here’s something to ask the “thoughtful people”: Which of these massacres were perpetrated by concealed-carry permit holders?

"are a few facts, however, to help arm thoughtful people in arguing with the charitably uninformed masses"

Arms for me but not for thee....

feh...

Here are a few facts

[RandallFlagg]

I hear ya.

[gov_bean_ counter]

I wish once, just once Pubbies would challenge libturds on the use of the language of the unquantifiable.

[teacherwoes]

Other questions to ask “thoughtful people” are: How many shootings occurred on gun free zones? Why do you think the shooter picked gun free zones?

[papertyger]

In the last 30 years there has never been a single instance of a good guy with a gun stopping a bad guy intent on killing a bunch of people... 30 years.

Have at it!

Facts? Thoughtful? San Fran Gay-O Chronicle?
Bwahahahahahahahahaah!

[skeeter]

Here’s a helpful fact for Mr Benz and his ‘thoughtful people’:

The 2nd Amendment to the Constitution is non-negotiable, regardless of what your selected ‘facts’ imply.

Non-negotiable as in don’t even bother.

[Mastador1]

If they use the word fact, we are all supposed to ignore that they are all lies.

[Tucker39]

Why not express it positively? The places with the most legal firearms and open carry have the LOWEST crime rate.

The perps know where NOT to act up.
