Americans would rather take that chance any day of the week!! Nobody wants to die, but unlike so many people on this here planet, Americans would prefer to go down defending themselves rather than begging for their lives!

Incorrect.

"The claim that gun ownership stops crime is common in the U.S., and that belief drives laws that make it easy to own and keep firearms.

"But about 30 careful studies show more guns are linked to more crimes: murders, rapes, and others. Far less research shows that guns help."

More Guns Do Not Stop More Crimes, Evidence Shows

They believe otherwise.

The evidence proves them wrong.

"Most of this research—and there have been several dozen peer-reviewed studies—punctures the idea that guns stop violence.

"In a 2015 study using data from the FBI and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, for example, researchers at Boston Children's Hospital and Harvard University reported that firearm assaults were 6.8 times more common in the states with the most guns versus those with the least.

"Also in 2015 a combined analysis of 15 different studies found that people who had access to firearms at home were nearly twice as likely to be murdered as people who did not."

Americans prove otherwise thousands of times each & every day....to themselves, their friends, & their community.

The opinions you choose to believe, you believe.............Americans don't mind one bit.....It's what they believe that counts......it's their Right....It's their Second Amendment......It's their Country......

No, they don't prove it - they merely believe it.

The evidence proves that more guns do not stop more crimes.

This isn't an opinion - it's an undeniable fact.

The number is now 1,444

1,444 deaths by gun in the US so far this year.

1,444 in 14 days.

Sure, but how many stabbings? Poisonings? Satanic child killings?

We could say guns are more humane, Greggery.

Anyway, knives, poison and black magic aren't listed in the constitution, just guns.

As our resident constitutional expert says, it would be unconstitutional to impose any restrictions or regulations on them.

You're free to shoot anyone you want, as long as they draw first, look at you funny, or they're suspect (tinted).

More Guns = Less Crime

Scream from the 'hilltops' 'till yer blue in the face Pecca..... (Australia don't have 'real' mountains )

Americans prove thousands of times each & every day that being armed makes them safer....to themselves, their friends, & their community.

The opinions you choose to believe, you believe.............Americans don't mind one bit.....It's what they believe that counts....it's their Right....It's their Second Amendment...It's our Country...but yer always welcome to visit, & Americans won't even force you to carry a loaded firearm neither

No.

They don't prove it, they just believe it.

It's faith, like some crazy religion.

It's an undeniable fact that more guns do not stop more crimes.

Not likely......but if faced with being shot by another's hand, it might just cause them a prolonged pause, & prevent the suicide.......but that's a longshot.....so ta speak

Suicides by gun have the Right to choose their departure time, & their method of transportation Karnal.....if anything is unknown it's their point of arrival.

I'm curious........Can you show me one successful suicide that isn't 100% satisfied with his/her/its choice?
