Gun nuts believe that if every citizen owned a weapon, potential criminals would be too afraid to commit crimes.

Works just fine in Switzerland where every man 18 and older is REQUIRED to have a gun and know how to use it.

"In 1993, of 39,595 firearm-related deaths, only 251 were determined to be justifiable homicide"

No mention that most of the rest were caused by criminals which used guns during the commission of a crime.

I want them to realize that the only crime wave in this country is in homicide, a crime inextricably linked with firearms. Perhaps when gun nuts stop living in Charlton Heston's movies they will pursue a safer, more reasonable route to gun ownership and use.

Man, you just GOTTA stop capping people on the tollway.

A rational mugger would prefer to give up and flee should his activity lead to conflict

victims that put up a fight are typically killed

Which is it brainiac???
