The facts are simply that guns are very, very, very rarely used for self defense. They are far, far more commonly used to threaten women, to commit crimes and for suicide.

You're manipulated and massaged facts you mean. Just go ahead ignore common sense and logic and put all your eggs in a liberal spin basket why don't you. Because arrogant assholes like you won't let people defend themselves. How can you defend yourself with something you aren't allowed to possess? Durr...

Here's some research compiled by the Harvard School of Public Health http://www.hsph.harvard.edu/hicrc/firearms-research/gun-threats-and-self-defense-gun-use-2/

Wtf is that article? Talking about illegal ownership and illegal use and use by adolescents? WTF kind of crap evidence do you keep posting and how you come to your logical fallacies as a result are beyond the pale of comprehension.

Oh, and concerning the idea that armed gun nuts would have stopped the shooting in Chattanooga?
Well, here's what the US Army thinks of gun nuts:

1-How the hell did you get that article (which I've already seen copypasta'd all over) to mean guns wouldn't have helped or prevented Chatanooga? This is the kind of crap logic you need to stop. You're just making yourself look stupid now and confirming everything I've said.

2-Yeah. When we walk around armed in open carry on a military base in a combat zone, some Harvard fucktard has found guns provide no meaningful use or deterrent. Sure... Guns are totally worthless.

3-Nothing in that article says the Army thinks gun owners are nuts. Talk about illiterate and biased! They clearly said they don't people to feel uncomfortable going to a recruiting station if they are interested in joining. They want the recruiters to be able to do their job, they have numbers to reach in some cases. Btw, I worked as a recruiter for a year in the Marines, so go fuck yourself if you think you know shit about it.


Fuchs was unconscious, no gun would have helped.
I'm all about self defense for women, but that wouldn't have helped, either.

Let's talk about how you don't believe women should vote. Couod be interesting.

Blah blah, asked and answered. You're a jackass. Keep stupid to yourself, it can be contagious.

Everyone is a potential rape victim, 'tis daft to think otherwise. Guns may act as a prophylactic against some potential rapes, but the sort committed by Fowley was facilitated by a pattern of emotional abuse, manipulation and entrapment. No way out of that unless there's some industry reform and greater opportunity for parental oversight (or other chaperoning) of minors working in entertainment.
