An intruder breaks into someone's home. The homeowner shoots the intruder and kills them. These days, that would be considered murder. But if the intruder breaks into someone's home, does unspeakable things to the people in the house, and then kills the people. These days, that would be considered a statistic. It's sad how messed up this country has become.. God save us

I don't know whether this statistic is true, but one more thing in favor of it is, that today we have a lot more population, but less or same gun violence that means per capita there are a lot less homicides. P.S Personally I think that the overall improvement in technology, healthcare etc has a bigger role in less homicides than whether there more or less guns.

@@happy_thinking You are correct. In 1980, the population was 225 million... 330 million in 2020. The homicide rate in 1980 was 10.2 per 100,000. In 2020, it was 6.5 per 100,000- and that does account for the increase during the 'summer of love'... From 2000 to 2019, the rate was hovering right around 5.0 per 100,000. P.S.

There’s less than 20,000 homicides by firearm annually in America. While that may be high, it’s a drop in the bucket compared to the 500,000-2,000,000 defensive uses of firearms annually. On the low end it’s 25x more likely that a firearm will be used to curb crime than a firearm being used to unjustifiably take a life. To make it even worse, concealed carry holders are far less likely to commit any type of crime when compared to the general population. It’s not the law abiding gun owners that are the problem. If it were there would be nobody left in this country, considering there are more guns than people.

He was 22 and you don't need a college degree to figure out what he did to her. But now she understands and actually has a firearm. Because when he got out of jail in less than 6 months and wanted to tell her that he was going to put her down for making him go to jail. Yes that's right, she was responsible for him ending up in jail. Cuz she must have asked to be beaten by him. Luckily for her a friend of his told him that she had a firearm and was going to use it if she seen him again.

Self defense is and should be protected. The question is how to ensure the actual gun violence (gang violence, mass shootings, over zealous individuals) get under control. I’m afraid there isn’t a great answer. Personally, I’m for a law enforcement fund that is drawn as a percentage of purchase price of weapons, keeping cost of lower priced self defense weapons low and creating a financial burden on purchases of the higher level hobbies and toys that are misused for the most heinous acts. Then use that law enforcement fund to push for education and enforcement of the gun control laws that already exist and work to get weapons out of the hands of the criminals and psychopaths that slip through by buying lower priced or illegal weapons. I do not advocate for removing or outlawing firearms from law abiding citizens under any circumstances.
