For once I would like someone to provide statistics on how many bad guys have been stopped by good guys with guns. I keep hearing how we can't have any gun control or only bad guys will have guns.
Well, alright, let's have the numbers on how many home invasions and muggings and robberies have been stopped by good guys with guns.
How many mass shootings have been stopped by regular folks with guns? We've had more mass shootings than days of the year so far, so, how many were stopped by all the people who own the 300 million fucking guns in this country?
Please, does anyone know these answers? Or are all of the people arguing that good people need 300 millions fucking guns to protect themselves from criminals completely talking out of their asses?
I honestly don't care if people have guns. I really don't. But I do want us to talk about guns within the constraints of… I don’t know… reality, maybe? And that means not making wild speculations about how all the guns prevent crimes because criminals are afraid of all of the armed people.
Real substantiated facts about guns. Is that asking too much? I don’t know. Am I asking too much?
Maybe I am. But I don’t feel like I am. I feel like this is an easy question nobody is seriously answering.
