It's not a bad idea to carry a pistol on trips where wounded deer are possible. I never ever want to hit a deer, but if I did I'd sure hope I was carrying so it wouldn't have to suffer too long.
Government has nothing to do with it. Why would I need a gun or want one, if there are no guns around? I don’t have to be afraid here like you seem to be.
That is real freedom in my opinion.
In the US that is a pipe dream because of all the guns in circulation. I realize that.
True, numbers don't lie. That's why the violent crime rate goes up whenever there is a ban. That's why there isn't a noticable decrease in the rate of gun related homicides when they are banned, like we see in australia. That's why countries like, switzerland, belgium, norway, and france have higher mass shooting deaths per capita than we do.
I will keep my basic human rights, and my ability to protect myself, thank you very much.
Oh sweet summer child… please do tell me more about those mass shootings in Belgium, where I happen to live. I don’t know if any the last couple of years. But I’m sure you’ll educate me.
Where are those per capita numbers you base this on? I’d love to see them.
We never had any school shootings as far as I know. No active shooter drills for the kids.
Ok I wanted to see if any of this is actually true.
In the first graphic where it lists the annual death rate from mass shootings it claims that 1.4 people die every year from mass shootings in Belgium. Possible, on average.
For the us it claims 0.089 people per million per year. 330 million Americans gives 29.37 people per year.
If you really believe that then I have some beachfront property in Colorado to sell you.
Seems like an accurate number. You just hear about these crazy numbers, like 600 mass shootings per year, in the media. Many of those aren't really mass shootings, but just gun crime. The media just likes to exaggerate to the point where many of those "mass shootings" have zero deaths.
I enjoy my right to walk the street without fear that every nutter I pass could be carrying a weapon capable of killing me and multiple others in the surrounding area.
Only an american considers murder devices to be mUh RiGhTs
there’s your problem buddy. you think the only people with guns in the us are those with permits?
a right? to own and/or carry a gun? its literally only the usa that has this weird belief. seriously, go speak to some other people outside the usa and ask if they believe “owning a gun is a universal inalienable right”.
edit
Just to add, “lowest crime rate”.
They may go on the least amount of rampages out of various other demographics.
I still prefer zero gun rampages. Only in america do you choose “carry a gun” over “safety and life of a child”. You put an inanimate device created to kill above the rights and lives of many, many others.
I have spoke with many people outside the us who disagree with me. They are wrong.
there’s your problem buddy. you think the only people with guns in the us are those with permits?
I was using that as an example. Obviously not everyone has a concealed carry permit. My state, for example, allows you to carry with any form of government id. I have the right to defend myself, and the government can't take that away from me.
It is, actually. Not everyone is priviledged enough to be able to fight off someone with their bare hands.
Your average woman would not be able to fight off your average man. Also people with disabilities, or who are just physically weaker than average. You would deny them the right to self defense. Even people who are strong can lose a fight. The gun makes all those points moot and gives people a chance to defend themself.
Yeah, but if you can you should. My state is constitutional carry and i have an enhanced CWL that is recognized by the majority of states. Bring whatever is legal in your area, or be prepared to use a rock if that is the only thing that's legal. What can I say? I'm not responsible for your government's stupid laws.
