Please cite your sources. And be sure the methodology is sound because I'm quite good a tearing that stuff up.

I love statistics, because you can get them to tell you whatever you want them to depending on how you conduct the sampling.

BS'ing with statistics is an old trick.

c'mon man

the ones that are used on a person obviously, not every gun that exists

Actually what the study found was that if you live in a home where there is a history of drug abuse, domestic violence, and crime you are more likely to be shot with a gun in the home. Considering a domestic violence conviction, habitual drug use, a conviction of a felony resulting in one year of prison time or a misdemeanor resulting in two years of jail time means you are federally denied the right to own a gun, the study found that criminals with guns tend to shoot people. Not exactly a revelation.

Wow. So you're not going to "waste your time" backing up your own claims?

That is terribly unfortunate for you.

I'm from the UK, we don't have that choice. Thanks for pointing out that a criminal may have a bigger gun than my non-existent one though. I will sleep much better at night knowing that the only people who have guns are criminals and police.

Ok first off your asking to buy a fire arm. A gun is a very powerful thing. The gun was designed to replace long ranged weapons in the beginning it was to replace the bow and arrow. Now you are probably an american just as I am. Now as an American we believe in freedom thats why we seperated from our mother countries England Scotland Germnay Ireland Italy and Russia. say all these is because we were all created by these countries. And ruled by one. Now When we seperated we made amendments. One of those was the right to bare arms. You should buy a gun for a few reasons
1. protection. in case of any attack.
2. Hunting if you ever (not have the guts) but the balls to kill an animal like every other person then go right ahead but in case you need to research the right type of gun for the right animals.

I bought a gun. Why? because i have ptsd and everyonce and awhile i go shooting and hunting because i need to the longer i dont have a gun the more out of place i feel. I had a friend who saw too much death i went hunting with him he never shot the deer. to some people like my friend he had seen to much death he never went hunting again but he still owns a gun. I never question him about that hunting trip.

Lol. How can someone confuse a Zombie with a person?


the zombie bit their groin as they were peeing. by the time they go their pants back on they were also a zombie with no other identifiable zombie like markings. therefor a normal human-like zombie.

Get a gun if you want, you have the right to if you want. Protect your home, use it for hunting, or just a collection.

And you chose Tyler Durden as your avatar?
Incongruous man,
But, hey, if you don't want a firearm, fine, Don't own one.
I still say a fully loaded ire extinguisher is a good idea, though.
Agree to disagree?
