A man defending his girlfriend using a grill in his own backyard missed and hit a 7 year old girl in the next yard through a wooden fence. Highlight yours and they will highlight theirs, its a never ending battle unless crime reduces which is the real problem anyway. For every good guy with a gun story there's an accident guy with a gun story. Add suicides and children getting ahold of guns mortality rates and the statistics unfortunately start to tilt towards firearms being more dangerous than good. Of course if you add in law enforcement and military use the statistics swing in favor. “…For every good guy with a gun story there’s an accident guy with a gun story…”Incorrect. Their is, NO, one to one ratio. It is just the that the 80% of the media, promote, over and over and over, any time, a DFI used a gun badly. Yet when it is used to defend, or simply the visual presence of, Stops, a crime. It is only reported by 20% of the media. “…Add suicides…” Yep, take away guns, less, ‘suicides’, with guns. NOT, less, ‘suicides’. “… and children getting ahold of guns mortality rates…”Poison, (like drain cleaner under the sink). Falling down the steps. Drowning (pool/lake/bathtub/etc). Electrocution, (something poked into a outlet). Choking, (small toy/food/etc). ETC. depending on where you look, Firearms in accidental death of children, rank, between 14 and 16, of the things listed above and more. “…and the statistics unfortunately start to tilt towards firearms being more dangerous than good…”For someone who is so in-tune to numbers. using a raw number, without qualifying, is just like saying: ‘Ban Cars, their will be LESS, ‘ Car Accidents ’.(Never mind that their will be the SAME number of, accidents, just with trucks and MC’s)
