"In the HOPES" Does not mean I believe that not having a gun would make you a target It is one of the NRA myths that abound in America and a certain percentage of your population is very convinced of its truth. Reality is as I posted on that same post - the guy with the gun is even more likely to be targeted because the criminals now know they can get guns there. Not only that but they are more likely to carry out an armed invasion.
Cite? Why would invaders risk getting shot when they can steal anything they want from the house next door?
Uh huh. Criminals are cowards, and like hyenas and animals in the wild, always go after the weakest targets. You know that too, which is why you made the mistake of using logic instead of your talking points when you initially responded. Now you're just doing damage control.
What are you basing that on? hope??? Where is your research? Meanwhile http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/art...me-features-controversial-gun-permit-map.html
No, they are on this planet, because they know what the world is really like. The people who don't live on this planet are the liberals who live in isolated, safe areas of the world. For the majority of the women in this world, this is what their safety looks like. Ironically, these are the countries they would like more "diversity" from:
You need more question marks to hide behind. You know, and admitted, that announcing the neighbor was unarmed put them in danger. You'll never admit it though, it goes against your programming.
This has nothing to do with rights freedoms defence or any of the other excuses made in defence of the indefensible. Guns are supposedly 'sexy' and that uncensored porn has become totally addictive stateside This is about Hollywood inspired macho bravado and the percieved glamour and heroism guns supposedly endow their users with. Thats deeply ingrained in the American psyche with around 80% of Hollywoods output sustaining it every day. Given that amount of endless cradle to grave preconditioning gun control there stands little chance
“almost all national survey estimates indicate that defensive gun uses by victims are at least as common as offensive uses by criminals, with estimates of annual uses ranging from about 500,000 to more than 3 million per year.” https://www.cnsnews.com/news/article/cdc-study-use-firearms-self-defense-important-crime-deterrent That's estimates as high as 3,000,000 defensive or self defense use of guns per year.
You aren't even allowed to conduct legitimate surveys into the effects of your gun culture stateside That tells you all you need to know
Probably this gives a clearer picture of how secure women really are in the developed countries. Interestingly the US also has a higher rate of rape than these nations too despite (or maybe because of? Rapists have guns too) its guns
Wrong. The CDC just did one. You don't hear much about it because it didn't say what you wanted it to. https://www.cnsnews.com/blog/craig-...s-used-self-defense-important-crime-deterrent The CDC was otherwise prevented from spending money on ANTI gun efforts, not actual research.
