    With no guns? Maybe a few hundred murders.

    There's no such thing as a "good guy" with a gun.
    To us, it is the BEAST.

      Gun ownership is a catch 22, the only people I trust to have guns are the people who dont want them, and the only people who have guns, I don't trust at all.

        Was that supposed to be 'don't want them'?

          So it's not defensive gun use if it doesn't end in a death? You packing LSD in that doobie?
          No, I did not steal that from somebody on Something Awful.

            If you have a problem with the statistics, write the individuals who collected the data.

              I think he means those 300 people were only the ones killed by the defensive gun use, not people who may have been scared off by warning shots etc.

                I suspect that number is far lower than the measly 300.

                  I did wonder if it was injured OR killed. It's not really clear.

                    I'm assuming killed, just because bodycount seems to be the theme.

                    There's no amount of "responsibility" that's going to prevent these things.

                      Sava, is brandishing a weapon using that weapon, or not?

                            Was there a point to that question? You literally just asked me if the meaning of one word was similar to the meaning of another.

                            IS BRANDISHING USING?

                            I DONT KNOW

                            CHECK THE DICTIONARY

                            kthx

                            What else am I supposed to do with such idiotic comments? Pretend like they're smart?

                              It's a fact that fewer guns equals fewer crimes but I'd still like to see some sort of reasonable regulations. Both Japan and Australia seem to have gotten it right.
