Using a 911 call is just too late for many.

How would an attacker know you were armed unless you pulled your weapon? In some states that would considered “brandishing” a weapon and the perceived attacker could stop and call the cops on you for doing that. Then you’d be the one arrested. I guess you have to be actually attacked first (i.e. Zimmerman) before you could “brandish” your weapon. Anyway, just saying.

Feminism is all about being a victim. being an armed woman is all about not being a victim. I simply can’t believe it takes 10 million dollars of the taxpayers money to figure this out.

10 million to come to that conclusion? Good Lord!

Well there you have it.

initially I was skeptical of the concept of the CDC doing applying epidemiology to gun ownership.

Now it all makes sense

I guess from the CDCs perspective, one can conclude that carrying a firearm is analogous to being vaccinated.

The main difference is carrying a gun protects you from plague of a different sort.

Arm everyone, even nutcases and felons and I guarantee you
in one generation this will be a very polite society.

A $10 million government report on gun violence ordered by President Barack Obama has concluded that people who are armed are less likely to be harmed by their attackers.

I would have only charged the government $5 million to tell them this. The tax payers would have saved $5 million. -:)

Obama: “Hmmm, ‘Armed Victims Less Likely To Be Harmed By Attackers.’
Make no mistake about it, we can make lemonaide from this lemon.
Re-title it and release as ‘Racist Vigilantes More Likely To Harm Helpless Black Children.’
I have spoke. Let it be writ. Let it be done.”

I’ve been hunting for this article, so thank you for posting it. The NewsMax link is dead.....Do you have any other sources? It seems to not be getting any coverage.

You can ignore my previous request. I found another link here:
