But what would this mentally ill person have done without legally purchased guns? Not shoot 6 people dead.


There are other ways to harm than just guns. Such as bombs, using cars as a weapon, poisonous gas, etc.

If someone wants to kill, they’re going to do it. Taking one tool away to kill won’t solve that.


Then why don’t we see this happening with the same frequency in other countries?


Because other countries don’t push violence on tv 24/7 like America does.


And they have much more strict gun regulation they usually pass after the first mass shooting. Unlike the US were guns more before people.


Yup. In the US, mass shootings BOOST gun sales.

That’s just how dysfunctional our country is.



As it should be. I want to protect myself from a crazy shooter.

Okay. But you can’t, not in reality. “Good” guys are never the iconic cowboys they think they’ll be. They’re too afraid to remember how to shoot at all or they shoot innocents or just crap themselves like everyone else. And honestly what kind of mental problem is it if someone keeps buying guns with each mass shooting? At the end of the year, if you bought one gun for every mass shooting in 2021, you’d have 690 guns and then an additional 647 for 2022 and then 131 for this year so far. What kind of idiot needs 1468 guns to feel better about themselves? A gulllible, egotistical and not very intelligent kind of idiot.


Hop on youtube and you will find plenty of evidence to the contrary. There are channels dedicated to that sort of thing.


What evidence to the contrary? An alternate universe where there are "good" guys who stop these mass shootings?


Spend more time on youtube and you will find shooters and criminals taken out by concealed carriers.

A lot of them are centered on appropriate use of force.


Spend more time in the emergency room and you’ll see even more victims of gun violence that wasn’t prevented by a good guy with a gun.

That is just NRA utter no sense. Ignore the NRA fools and focus on supporting pro gun control representation.


I remember when the NRA was pro gun control…. Back when the Black Panthers were walking around open carrying.

It is a vile, racist, evil organization that hates America and all it stands for.


The same NRA supports black people and legal carry. They recognized the Black Panthers as the radical organization that they are.

Confirmation bias is a thing.

But the problem is that for every one instance of criminals taken out by concealed carriers, there's thousands of other instances where the gun violence wouldn't have even happened in the first place if we actually had more sensible gun laws.

Hop into the news and you can find plenty of evidence that I’m right and you’re wrong.

Actually you can find actual evidence - not a pathetic YouTube wormhole someone uses to ramp up their cortisol - that I’m right and you’re wrong.

“In fact, recently gathered data show that fewer than one-third of all active shooters are actually stopped by law enforcement. Moreover, "good guys" with both guns and badges have been responsible for dozens of friendly-fire deaths of their fellow officers, and the other "good guys with guns"—security guards or bystanders—are frequently killed by police arriving on the scene. In fact, in the last seven years alone, police officers have shot and killed more than 8,000 people in this country.” https://policingequity.org/resources/blog/the-fiction-of-a-good-guy-with-a-gun

“From 2000 to 2021, ALERRT researchers studied 464 attacks (434 shootings, 23 knife attacks and seven vehicle attacks) and found civilians — including security guards and off-duty police officers — stopped attackers before police arrived on 73 occasions. In the vast majority of those cases (67%), bystanders subdued the assailant using physical force.

An armed civilian stopped attacks by shooting the suspect in 24 of the 464 attacks recorded, about 5% of all events.” Emphasis mine. Wowie. 5% to 67% of people just going for it and overpowering the loser gun nut. https://www.newsnationnow.com/us-news/midwest/how-often-does-a-good-guy-with-a-gun-end-an-attack/

Gosh, how about just a good guy who’s not a cop but is paid to be there? Like a school officer, how about that? “Research disputes recent assertions from Cruz and others that armed law enforcement on campus is “the most effective tool for keeping kids safe.” A 2021 JAMA Network Open study analyzed every documented incident from 1980-2019 in which “one or more people was intentionally shot in a school building during the school day, or where a perpetrator came to school heavily armed with the intent of firing indiscriminately.” It found “no association between having an armed officer and deterrence of violence.” “When there’s more guns, more people die,” says Jillian Peterson, one of the author’s of the JAMA study.” Oh, so no joy there, either. https://time.com/6182970/good-guys-guns-mass-shootings-uvalde/

I’ve got a crazy mad idea but given that the Republicans would just as soon see every last one of us exploded in a red explosion of tissue and have tried nothing: WHAT ABOUT IF WE DIDN’T HAVE SO DUCKING MANY GUNS. It’s so crazy it just might work here like it does in every other ducking country with gun control.
Stat is incorrect. 5% is actually around 55%. All one has to do is aggregate the actual reported news for a year.

Agree that threatening to use guns to ensure rights is always gross and people on the left should not be copying the right wing gun nuts. Disgusting all around.

Or just examine the statistics:


There are approximately two million defensive gun uses (DGU's) per year by law abiding citizens. That was one of the findings in a national survey conducted by Gary Kleck, a Florida State University criminologist in 1993. Prior to Dr. Kleck's survey, thirteen other surveys indicated a range of between 800,000 to 2.5 million DGU's annually. However these surveys each had their flaws which prompted Dr. Kleck to conduct his own study specifically tailored to estimate the number of DGU's annually.

Subsequent to Kleck's study, the Department of Justice sponsored a survey in 1994 titled, Guns in America: National Survey on Private Ownership and Use of Firearms (text, PDF). Using a smaller sample size than Kleck's, this survey estimated 1.5 million DGU's annually.

There is one study, the National Crime Victimization Survey (NCVS), which in 1993, estimated 108,000 DGU's annually.

Taking into account any study of DGUs, there are massive numbers of them in the USA every year.

To dismiss DGUs as rarely happening is simply ignorant and out of touch with reality.
