Dangerous for Whom?
I have owned and legally carried numerous weapons for almost 40 years. Many of my friends have done also. None of us have shot one another nor anyone else. well at least not outside of combat.
Violent people will kill others even of every gun suddenly disappeared from the earth.
This happened in 2010? This is the best case liberals have for propping up their insane beliefs? Yes, four years ago 2 men who legally could ‘carry’ in Florida acted stupidly.
Do you have any idea how many deaths by criminals have taken place in Florida in the last four years? Or just deaths by gangs...
If these two idiots are the best they’ve got it’s reason to support honest citizens owning guns..
Do the measure the number of career criminals and walking time bombs who are not around to hurt others in society because they were shot by other criminals or law abiding people?
Guns have nothing to do with it.
Morality has degraded to an incredible degree.
When society purged any value for life, we become susceptible to this horrible outcome.
Teenage gangstas in the hood think no more about shooting a human than they do stomping on a bug.
An armed America is only a dangerous America for her Enemies and those that would do her harm.
DOJ Report: Firearm-Related Murders Down 39% Since 1993
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3118750/posts
A DOJ Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS) “special report” shows that “firearm-related” homicides fell by 39 percent between 1993 and 2011.
One man went nuts, the other man died defending himself.
Life is unfair.
And this during the period when people were buying guns at an unprecedented rate.
More guns = less violent crime
No.
Robert A. Heinlein, deceased science fiction author extraordinaire, and medically discharged from the U.S. Navy, during WW2 wrote that line about an armed society is a polite society.
The quick polite and accurate answer is: ‘No.’
Judging by actual crime statistics, and not anecdotes, the answer is no, an armed America is not a more dangerous America. In fact, and by fact I mean not anecdote, it is far safer than it otherwise would be.
Next question?
