[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I read just this morning that only 3% of gun deaths are civilians using a gun for protection/stopping a crime. I'll see if I can find that article to post. It said something about people stopping crimes without a weapon of any kind were much higher (tackling someone, that kind of thing)[/quote] here's the article I was looking at. While it definitely has a slant, the facts don't lie ( couldn't remember the exact situation the 3% pertained to, but it is explained below): 9. The “good guy” stopping a “bad guy with a gun” is a myth: According to the FBI, between 2000-2013, only 3 percent of active shootings ended with a “good guy with a gun” stopping the “bad guy” — yet 20 percent were stopped by people who didn’t have a gun. Yeah, there’s really not a whole lot I need to add to that. http://www.forwardprogressives.com/10-indisputable-facts-debunk-nearly-every-ridiculous-gun-nut-talking-point/ [/quote]
