    Also wrong, and not really relevant to my point? I’m not talking about the value proposition of having a gun for dealing with run of the mill crime.

    We’re (Americans) in a situation where we’re faced with an active and armed fascist movement, and those who would oppose that movement have systematically disarmed themselves because “guns bad”. What’s your plan for when they decide to remind us that “political power grows out of the barrel of a gun”?

    Don’t bother consulting your canned talking points, you actually have to think about this one for yourself.

      Not wrong, in that the studies are valid, and completely relevant to your point.

      Guns kill their owners far more often than they kill home invaders and other intruders.
