Firearms deter crime. They do not deter accidents. According to FBI stats, in the past 20 years, even though we have had a large increase in population, a large increase in the number of firearms in circulation, and a HUGE spike in the number of people carrying firearms, the murder rate is about half what it was 20 years ago. This is not wishful thinking, this is Federal Bureau of Investigation fact.
Also FBI fact: while handguns are most often used in the commission of a crime, they are also most often used in the prevention of one far more frequently. Long guns, rifles and shotguns, are rarely a factor. More people die every year from knives and from clubs than rifles and shotguns combined.

Little zinger for you Brian; Canada has about the same population as California. The number of murders by race should be right up your alley. If you discount the murders committed by blacks and Hispanics in California, the number of murders committed by whites, per capita, in Canada and California is almost identical. Oh, I know, that's RAAAACIIIIST!!!

It is doubtful anyone other than the robbers would have been shot.

Have friends in the UK instead of being shot you might get knifed or beaten with a ball bag which I understand that base ball bats are now forbidden to order online in the UK !

There are many times when guns save lives. When guns allow crime victims to fight back. Only in America do guns save lives because only in America have the citizens inherited the right to bear arms.

The US has the highest rate of gun ownership in the world. For overall murders per 100,000 people, we are not even in the top ten. US murders per 100,000 overall, 4.9. Jamaica, where civilian firearms ownership is completely, totally forbidden: 40.9 per 100,000. Ten times our murder rate, just not with firearms.

I was watching tv one night and this black dude had a baseball bat in his hand... he fast walked across the street to this guy half propped up against the wall though sitting down.. and this guy with this bat.. went directly to him and beat that man to pieces... I had to stop watching it.. it was so terrible.... don't know if he killed him or not.. I just know that would be a much worse and horrible death than a single bullet in the chest... or head... so much for violence of the black man... Don't know if he was ever caught or not.. but the cameras sure caught it..

So your argument for guns is you would rather be shot than beaten. Great argument. How about not being I the wrong place at the wrong time. I've never as an adult been beaten, shot, or even punched. I have seen a few fingers sent my way.

You are fortunate. I, too floated in the ignorance of bliss until I was shot at while on my own property, and took some licks in an unsuccessful robbery attempt.
Perhaps I should not have been on my own land at the time. Perhaps I should not have gone out for a bite to eat in what is normally a very safe area. You're right. I should let thugs dictate when and where I eat, and when I choose to be in my yard. That will solve everyone's problem, except mine.

I seriously doubt that is his argument. Though a bullet is certainly quicker than being bludgeoned to death. The point is that lack of guns does not mean lack of violence. Now presence of guns could mean lack of violence. Like maybe if the beating victim had a gun and pointed it at the guy with the bat, he would still have an intact skull.

Reminds me of my school days when we would place KICK ME signs on others backs without their knowledge. What is the difference when silly ass individuals proclaim no guns allowed thus ensuring potential robbers no resistance here for robbery,
