“Usually” huh? How?
Sorry - what’s the context here? Usually what?
What do you think usually happens? Does the gun spontaneously jump up, chamber a round, and attack? Or do you seriously think most gun fights result in hand to hand combat where the dude with just hands nearly always wins and disarms then murders the person defending themselves? Cause it sounds like the latter is what you want people to think, but both sound equally as stupid to me.
You know what I think it is? I think that number is mostly suicide. I also think that number deliberately ignores all successful self defense scenarios. Oh I’ll bet a bunch of them are abusive partners murdering their victims. But those are exactly the people who needed a good defense option in the first place. Every single day they were already in danger. I’ll bet there’s also a bunch of dumbass parents who didn’t secure their weapon properly to safeguard their dumbass kids. But I’ll bet the numbers for strangers breaking in and murdering you in your own home with your own weapon are almost nil. And about the same for concealed carry incidents. Disarming someone prepared to defend themselves with a gun when you don’t have one is fucking hard.
So mostly I hear you saying, “if you get a gun there’s a slightly increased risk you’ll commit suicide!!” If someone is buying a gun because they’re worried about being the victim of hate crimes, they probably aren’t suicidal.
Look - all of the things you mention are contributing factors in the dramatic increase in risk that someone takes on when they own a gun. The cases where someone successfully defends themselves against an attacker are so rare as to be essentially fantasies that gun-fondlers engage in. If you want to fondle guns, go ahead - just understand how much more risk you are taking on that if you didn’t.
Yep, that’s exactly what I thought. You have absolutely no idea how many people successfully defend themselves with guns. The 45k you cited deliberately only counted how many people die from their own weapons, and allowed you to deceptively conflate all of them to imply that failure is the majority scenario. You liar. Then you smear transfolk who need a self defensr option as gun fondlers. You fascist sicko.
Defensive gun use is largely a fantasy of gun fondlers. It just doesn’t really happen. You are MUCH MUCH more likely to die from your own weapon than be shot by someone else, especially, of course, if you don’t own a weapon in the first place. You know that though.
LoL k.
Well it’s 100% true. No one is safer with a gun.
Then cite those numbers.
