Guns are banned, people still died.

The ubiquity of guns in America is the reason our police officers have to treat urban streets like a goddamn war zone.

Also, the "I NEED a gun for protection" argument is bullshit. You're not an assassination target, and the hypothetical burglar you're worried about just wants your flat screen. By all means, use anecdotal evidence about the times when it was helpful for someone to own a gun. Just know that for every 1 story like that, there's 10 tragic stories that begin the same way.

Well, here's one example right off the top of my head. Remember the woman who was beheaded in Oklahoma? Yeah, well as the jihadi asshole started stabbing a second female, he was shot dead by one of the company's execs. If he didn't have his firearm that day, more people would have surely died.

As for the rest of your post. You sound like a condescending douche. Might wanna tone that down a little.
