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."

Taken to its ultimate conclusion, we’ll win because we have the guns! Jus’ sayin’!

[Vendome]

Let's fix a few “Armed Facts” in this work of fiction:

This is the 264th mass shooting this year. Yes, 264 mass shootings in less than a year. Uhmmmm, not even half that phone is number is true.

In a recent study , the FBI identified 160 active shooter incidents that occurred in the United States between 2000 and 2013. https://www.fbi.gov/news/stories/2014/september/fbi-releases-study-on-active-shooter-incidents/pdfs/a-study-of-active-shooter-incidents-in-the-u.s.-between-2000-and-2013

You mean to tell me there have been more mass shootings/active shootings than in 13 years? Horseshit.

Firearms kill 33,000 people every year.  More like 13,000 but, the facts be damned and more than 70% of those were criminal on criminal “incidents”.

Every 6 hours in America more people die from gun violence than were killed by terrorists in all of 2014. If a disease like Ebola was killing as many people as guns there would be rioting in the streets to cure it. Well, there doesn't seem to be a cure for hyperbolic stupidity.

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.

Do hot chicks count?

In the last 50 years, half of the world's mass shootings have occurred in the U.S. More baloney. There have been just as many in Europe.

The U.S is the most armed country in the world.  By shear numbers, yes. But, as a percentage of population? Israel might have even more armed citizens and the Swiss most certainly do, since it is in their national law.

We have as many guns as people and 1/3 of the populace owns at least one. Well, that's true.

Nearly half of all civilian guns in the world are held by Americans. Fooking stupid and not even remotely true.

Besides bombs and chemical weapons, guns are the most efficient killing machines. Bombs and chemical weapons are illegal. Well, so is killing and assault but, that never stopped some types.

The second amendment was written by slave-holding men who carried muskets to protect themselves from tyranny and from their slaves. A musket took over 10 seconds to reload for a single shot. So?

The second amendment does guarantee the right to bear arms for a "well-regulated" militia. Don't forget the part where “The Right of The People to Keep and Bear Arms, Shall Not be Infringed.

Thanks for playing.

This is an excellent rebuttal:

Hmmmm . . . if the people he’s writing for are so thoughtful, why do they need his help in responding to 2nd Amendment supporters?

[kindred]

The college students need to arm themselves and remember that we have gun rights to stop evil government from destroying our first amendment liberties and rights granted in our by our Constitution and Bill of Rights. Obamanation democrats and rino politicians hate Americans freedoms.

Gee, they believe they can lie with impunity.

The second amendment recognizes that a militia may be regulated. Go ahead, regulate it but not its weapons. Those are for the people.

Don't worry. You won't find any of those in San Fransicko.

[RicocheT]

Facts to confront gun defenders?

Every bullet point contains an outright lie.

[publius911]

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

Hey Kevin, you retard...

I can't find the part where you list the statistics about how many lives are saved annually by armed citizens with LEGAL firearms!

[RetiredTexasVet]

When His Arrogance and the legion of high ranking Fed. Govt. hypocrites disband the Secret Service, put a “gun free sign” on the White House and Fed Buildings and depend on the DC police for protection and when Bloomberg and his ilk disband their private security militias, put up “gun free signs” and depend on the local police for protection, I will consider their requests.

I think what all of these people need to do is stop whining and come and take them. Should be easy. Get on with it.

Fist off, the Church shooter who was killed by an off duty Deputy woman. I’m in a hurry to get somewhere, but could look back and post a few more within the last 30 years.
