My car has an entire purpose that is not centered on killing someone. Can't really say the same thing about a firearm.
My gun’s purpose is defending me and my family but at the end of the day when you kill the 3 y/o in your ev what diff dies it make.

Yeah, because some people think the answer to petty crime is shooting someone.

Right, because there is zero difference between a gun and a nuclear bomb.
Seriously, come up with some new schtick, because I can’t even…..
Come back when you shoot your kid coming in late.
That's one thing that will never happen in my house.
Yes, because you will be tied up at gun point while your house is being robbed. Shoot your kid - what a dbag you are. Great argument argument. I’m getting my CCW after reading your post.
You certainly sound like someone who should be carrying around a gun.

DP good for you. Good luck to your family though. The vast majority of guns that get fired in the households they belong to end up hurting someone in the family. That's a fact that you cannot disprove.
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/15522849/
Results show that regardless of storage practice, type of gun, or number of firearms in the home, having a gun in the home was associated with an increased risk of firearm homicide and firearm suicide in the home.
You’re a broken record. You cannot fathom that people can be responsible gun owners and that the gun could actually save their lives. You are insufferable. And consider yourself the reason for one more CCW permit which I had not considered until reading this thread.
Show me the statistics to convince me that guns save more lives than they take. Please - I'll be convinced if you have the facts to back that up.
Better yet, post links to 5 instances where someone like you stopped a criminal in his tracks with your sidearm.
Meanwhile, I'll find 5,000 links to instances where someone like you accidentally shot and killed someone they knew and another 500,000 where someone in the house got hold of their gun and shot themselves or their kid brother.

It’s a noticeable thing. It consistently comes through in these 10 pages.
Here are some pragmatic and sober questions, which I hope you can answer: How frequently do bullets miss their intended targets and hit innocent bystanders? Would you be able to live with yourself if you killed a child accidentally? Statistically speaking, are household firearms more likely to be used to kill or ward off an intruder or to kill or maim someone in the household or known to the members of the household?
