“the only way to stop a good guy with a gun is a bad guy with a gun.” !?

Another liberal/progressive gun owner who wants to disarm America, yet he has not given up his own guns. What a hypocrite!

I have to be honest, he admits the most accurate tally for gun usage/deaths is the CDC, but even with their MILLIONS of dollars of funding by comparison, they still don't get all of it.. yet his 500K a year is more accurate then the millions behind the CDC?... where is my BS flag??

then to say that households with guns is down but individual ownership is up.. WTF!? how is that even POSSIBLE!?

their logic is dizzying, and severely lacking foundation in reality.

Snip...

...snip.

Earlier they have 3 households with 1 gun owner in each, now for whatever reason they now have only 2 households but now they each have 2 individual gun owners in each.... note the Decrease in number of households with firearms but now with 4 individual gun owners instead of the 3 they had before.

Seems like it is possible to me.

Carry On!

Even if the premise that removing guns from our citizens would lower gun deaths is true ... so what? It does not change your RKBA.

I argue all the time with antis who spout off stats. You know that you cannot attack the stats that they use to effect them at all ... I just listen and then say "its irrelevant". A right is a right. Some get it, most don't. Many people jump up and down and say all kinds of nasty things to me. Oh well.

well... I guess if you have multiple families in one home, it makes sense, especially since the downturn of the economy due to the use of fiat currency from a central bank... and the housing bubble going pop.. ect ect.

so fine.. that one, is possible, unlikely to an extent, but possible.

they are still dizzying in their logic... or should I say lack thereof.

I personally think he is skewing the stats to fit his own agenda.

and again his budget isn't even close to the CDC's yet they are toutng him as a hero with more relevant and accurate data.. I find this unlikely as well.

and even if a good guy with a gun stopping a bad guy is a small percentage, maybe that merely points to a larger problem... too many people are unarmed and prefer to be victims.

Good point ... if 100% of people were armed our society would be the friendliest one around ... guns make good neighbors !
