RE: Sig Sauer is the Best Home Defense Handgun, and Great Hat Sponsor!

in #security7 years ago

Gun control advocates always pull up firearm-homicide -- homicide! -- statistics, and yet consistently fail to add how many lives were saved by the use or threat of usage, of firearms.

In the research paper, "Armed Resistance to Crime: The Prevalence and Nature of Self-Defense with a Gun," 1,029,615 incidents involved firearms for the protection of self and property.

According to the CDC, approximately half a million American households per yer use a firearm to scare off would-be intruders (Estimating Intruder-Related Firearm Retrievals in U.S. Households, 1994. Ikeda.).

Additionally, a 1982 prison survey reported that 40% of criminals were scared off from committing a crime because they knew or believed that the potential victim was armed with a gun.

On a personal note, you can have whatever opinion you want about firearms. But the choice to protect myself and my family is NEVER open for discussion.

Sort:  

I don't get why Americans are proud that you have to live with this fear.

It just doesn't come up anywhere else in the developed world because nobody else keeps loaded guns by their pillow at night to 'protect their family' lol...

And I don't get why you're such a coward! You think that "dialoguing" and "safe spaces" are going to protect you from a muslim terrorist? You want to give it a go? Fine by me. I'll rely on my friend, Mr. Sig Sauer!

You're calling me a coward?

Enjoy your day mate. Lock and load!

:)

Based on, shall we say, "demographic trends," you will inevitably become a gun-rights advocate yourself. You can save yourself (and help save your country, btw) a few steps along the way, if you like!

That's not really my style mate. You see, in Australia even the political right aren't stupid enough to ignore global gun violence numbers.

As I said mate. You go and enjoy your day, while I go and enjoy mine. This has been a very insightful political discussion, but I think it's come to an end.

Did you notice that I straight up called you stupid above?

The coward
