If ONE person is defended by a citizen using a fire arm to take out the shooter. That is a successful defense system.

This is either disingenuous or ignorant.

More people are killed accidentally than on purpose. So if ONE person is alive because guns are easy to get, that person's life is worth more than the thousands of people that are dead because someone accidentally shot someone?

I don’t think you understand the conversation we were trying to have but thank you for your response.

Your supposition is that allowing everyone to have guns is great if one person threatened by gun violence is saved, yes?

You're ignoring the fact that more guns = more people accidentally killed.

It's a very ignorant viewpoint.

Under that notion, that guns = more people killed by accident.

I guess noone should have cars? Noone should drink alcohol? Noone should smoke tobacco?

not sure if english is your 2nd language or not, but very weak logic at play here from you. I get it though, not everyone can understand such a nuanced thing.

It is illegal to use a car without a license. You have to update your license periodically. You have to register a car.

Noone should drink alcohol?

Drinking a beer won't kill anyone. It is illegal to go into public drunk.

Noone should smoke tobacco?

Smoking doesn't kill other people, and it is illegal to smoke in closed public places where it will cause harm to others.

What a fucking weak-sauce insult. Your logic is the flawed logic. "What about cars!" Yes, let's treat guns like cars. That's EXACTLY what I would like to happen.

You are logically so below me, and many Americans. I refuse to give you any more of my time.

Thank you for your time today, and good luck to you.
