The myth of the “good guy with the gun” is most often deployed as a cudgel to distract from the fact that guns in this country are most often not used for self-defense, but for crime, escalating grievances from petty to deadly, and generally providing easy opportunity for people to shoot themselves and their relatives, friends and coworkers either on purpose or, as is tragically frequent, on accident. |

It's not a myth. It happens far more often than a gun is used to commit a crime... but you only want to count a defensive gun use if someone gets shot. Most of the time, it doesn't come to that.
Yahoo is a cesspool of leftist yahoos these days. There's not even much reason to dignify their inane prattlings with a serious answer. It's a bunch of monkeys throwing stinky things around, except that actual monkeys are smarter and better able to use logic. |

TO REMEMBER |
| ...If a man lies under oath or procures the lie of another under oath, if he perjures himself or suborns perjury, he is guilty under the statute law. Under the higher law, under the great law of morality and righteousness, he is precisely as guilty if, instead of lying in a court, he lies in a newspaper or on the stump; and in all probability, the evil effects of his conduct are infinitely more widespread and more pernicious. — Teddy Roosevelt - May 12, 1900 |
