      Nice theory, but owning a gun makes you less safe, not more. You are way more likely to be hurt by your own gun than successfully using it to defend yourself.

            your statistics don’t know who i live with, who lives next door, or how corrupt my government is. and, as samuel clemons said, there are three kinds of lies: lies, damn lies, and statistics.

              What is it with Americans that they seem so be so afraid all the time. You see danger everywhere. Life now is safer than it has ever been in the history of humanity.

                there are more slaves now than ever in history. there are more prisoners, more prisons, more cartels, more police (but i repeat myself). i won’t tell you how you may keep yourself safe. please return the courtesy.

                  All of those things are because there are way more humans today than ever in absolute numbers. The percentage of people who die a violent death has never been as low as it is now, and that includes people dying in war.

                    none so far, and id like to keep it that way, but there is no reason i or anyone else should become a victim for a lack of self defense tools.
