So your guns keep you safe?

[Tarathiel]

swords are considered "arms" too, whose to say the founding fathers weren't talking about swords? lots of motherfuckers carried swords back then.

I hear Breivik only stopped killing people because he got tired of it

C/D?

I always go to "what american people think of as common sense" as my main source for academic papers.

This "study" is from 2009. There's a reason I've never heard of or seen it referenced before now, and it has everything to do with it being clearly politically biased.

Taking data on gun crime from OG thug *****s in downton Philly, and then making sweeping statements to the tune of "successful defensive gun uses are possible and do occur each year, the chances of success are low. People should rethink their possession of guns" is so biased and flat out wrong, it's laughable.

With that said I leave you with this:

ITT: Bullets become more deadly when you are armed, and attackers are more likely to kill you when you have a means to defend yourself

The mind of an ignorant, brainwashed college kid.

[Alawen]

There is no conspiracy here. Every other developed country has much more restrictive gun laws. Here's the data on deaths, which we've seen before: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of...ted_death_rate

Simply put, when you have a bunch of cowboys running around with guns, people die. I don't have a particular horse in this race, the facts are just brutally obvious at this point. I have very little hope that this country will ever do anything to curtail gun violence. We clearly love gangs and war and killing each other.

Hilarious for you to connect "ignorant" and "college".

[Jacquouille]

I'm open to discussion.

Can a pro gun tell me, how, adding guns in schools will keep the kids safer?
