we'd have to conquer other nations to impose our way of life onto them
they don't do it willingly you know, religions and govt's and all
Or we can realize that if a right makes us less human and actively hurts us, we can get rid of it or change it.
Oh awesome.lmao.An ordinal variable implies magnitude without a specific scale. Small medium and large for example.
Have a good day.
A gun can be wrestled away and used against the owner. Can the same be said about a dog?Why should he have to?
Can you carry your large breed of dog in your pocket everywhere you go?A gun can be wrestled away and used against the owner. Can the same be said about a dog?
A Deadly Myth Women, Handguns, and Self-Defensenot many can defend themselves against a big violent criminal who's going to have a weapon
certainly not women, and not many men
a gun is the great equalizer
A Deadly Myth Women, Handguns, and Self-Defense
Despite the promises of gun-industry advertising, a woman is far more likely to be the victim of a handgun homicide than to use a handgun in a justifiable homicide. In 1998, handguns were used to murder 1,209 women.8 That same year, 12 women used handguns to kill in self-defense.
Here's another -
- Counterarguments:
- Critics argue that the presence of guns can escalate violence and that relying on firearms for self-defense can be a dangerous and ineffective strategy.
- They also point out that gun ownership can lead to accidental shootings, suicides, and increased rates of gun violence.
- Alternative Perspectives:
- Some people believe that education, economic opportunity, and social justice are the true "great equalizers" that can lead to a more just and equitable society.
- Others argue that the ability to defend oneself starts and ends with courage and character, not with the possession of a weapon. (GoogleAI)
“Death is the great equalizer of human beings. Death is the boundary that we need to measure the precious texture of our lives. All people owe a death. There is no use vexing about inevitable degeneration and death because far greater people than me succumbed to death’s endless sleep without living as many years as me.”

I also noted that his “source” only counts a gun being used defensively if the woman kills her attacker. And the data is almost 30 years old.No arguments of your own.

you do too - you said it was awesome that before a crime was committed the police arrested and stopped a would be killer
And so it was
But that's million miles from then imprisoning him with trial - which is what you would do in your authoritarian world
That quote again: "Mentally ill people are NOT innocent"
Stalin would be proud of you and your GULAG politics
Sorry but still a hard pass from me comrade.
Has been refutedSource 3 in the OP.
no no .... I NEVER said they wouldn't get trials or their days in court, did I ? you said that, I never did. I said lock them away from harming people before they mass murder and that's the example I gave and you hated it - and now you agreeAnd so it was

The desire to own a personal weapon is a red flag.
Attacking the source? Do better. Try again.using anti-gun website to make a point ?

Can you please answer my question? So can a knife, a bat, etc. A dog can be shot, stabbed, poisoned. So it seems you had no point here.
Your question - "Why should he have to?"You can't defend yourself without a gun? Then I suggest a large breed dog to fight your battles for you!
More lies. The fact that the only time your “source” gives credit for self defend is when a woman kills somebody tells me all I need to know about their manipulation of statistics.Attacking the source? Do better. Try again.
Women, Handguns, and Self-Defense
I never hide my sources.Same goes to you.
Another alternative is a Chinese assault weapon modified with a higher than standard capacity magazine.Your question - "Why should he have to?"
My answer - He doesn't "have to". I suggested just one alternative to self protection in the home.
Also works quite well when out in public.
Mom arrested for bringing gun to school for confrontation with lesbian teacher
Kinda difficult to conceal carry a dog, no?
