I don't need to pick a specific example there are many. It can be people firing accidentally also.
The majority of people don't need guns for protection. It can even been seen on here in the gun idiotic gun thread.
Since you're getting snarky.....
You're not cute mate. You're really fucking thick and part of the problem.
Tell yourself whatever you want to allow yourself to own your death toy.
listen man, i’ve never been called “snarky”...that hurts, and i have feelings too...and i know this is an exercise in futility and i know i won’t change your mind, and that’s fine, and you sure as fuck will not change mine...and thus i know i should leave well enough alone at this point...
...but still, i want to know...i was raised around guns (for defense, for sport, as a tech-nerd regarding all of the different calibers, platforms, and configurations) and come from a large and diverse family--of relatives, friends, and neighbors--of poor and working-class people who all have owned and shot guns most/all of their lives, and thank god, out of all of these people not one single person (including myself) is "violent," or has ever actually had to shoot anybody, and of course not one single person out of all of these people has “accidentally” shot anybody. we have CPLs (which right off of the bat indicates that none of us have any kind of criminal records), and have trained and continue to train, we all have purchased all of our guns legally and undergone all of the necessary background checks, we all keep our guns in gun safes when they are at home, etc., so please explain to me how i or anybody i mention here are “part of the problem.”
even better, first, why don't you explain “the problem" for us all? is there just one "problem"?
and if you’re going to go ahead and stumble your way through an explanation of this, don’t even bother if you can’t first differentiate between the very different conversation that comes with discussing criminals with illegally derived guns versus law-abiding people from the poor and working classes who adhere to the shit-ton of gun laws at both the state and federal levels in this country...
