I always find it laughable when people try to justify owning guns to keep their family safe. Statistically a gun in your home is 95% more likely to harm you or your family than to be used in self defense against an attacker (source:http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/m/pubmed/9715182/).
Additionally, if you're using a firearm as self defense of your family, that means it's not locked up and your children have access to loaded firearms. If it is locked up, you're not going to realistically be able to gain access to it while someone is actively trying to cause harm to you or your family in your home. But you should still absolutely be able to own guns, and if it makes you feel safer, that's fine. Statistics say otherwise. But the real reason you should be allowed to own guns is it's guaranteed by the 2nd amendment, and guaranteed for a reason. Historically the precursor to genocide has always been disarming of a population. This doesn't mean if a population is disarmed, there will be genocide (there are plenty of countries today that have been disarmed and their government is not mass executing their populations). But in every instance of genocide in the past 150 years, some or all of the population being executed was disarmed first. That's enough reason, and the reason the 2nd amendment exists. I gladly encourage and support everyone to own a weapon, because statistically you are putting yourself more at risk than if you didn't, but I think it's important and honestly a civic duty to own a weapon. | ||

Some people probably aren't aware of the statistics. Some people probably have the "won't happen to me" kind of attitude. I fall into the second category. 60% of shooting deaths are a result of suicide. I'm not concerned with that number. If you eliminate the homicides and suicides from the article as 7X and 11X the amount of self defense, you're left with the 4X amount of unintentional shootings to worry about, which is addressable. Keeping a gun in a safe that I can access in <10 seconds is better than nothing, and mostly kid-proof. | |||

Black people can not commit crimes because we are not a privileged class. Think about it like dis, you were a slave working on a plantation in 1995, dindu nuffin wrong but masta comes out to whip you. Ouch, that really stings. So you real mad and later you secretly sneak a chicken mcnugget from his mcdonalds bag. That ain't no crime, you booty still be hurtin and mcdonalds nuggets real good. You see my point? I think chicken is very delicious and there should be more variety on more menus. I know there's KFC and Popeyes, but what about a chicken ring shaped like an onion ring? Hm, What about a glove made out of chicken you could wear on you hand so you don't even have to hold it, you just nibble it off you fingers. THEN after you still got that delicious taste on you hand even when it gone!
