this is inaccurate. LOTS of people buy guns for protection, however, anti gunners (like you) try to make things as difficult as possible for those good people to be in public. What you're doing is creating and encouraging an atmosphere that makes good people determine that the possible negative consequences of self defense/public defense aren't worth it. MOST people do not want to be charged with a crime and defend themselves for defending their own life, or that of their loved ones.In fact, the shootings in America show clearly that guns are not getting in the paws of the best people.
this is YOU projecting your own incompetence and insecurity on everyone else.Fredo dropped the gun when the shooting started. So would almost all of you guys.
you say you are inclined to listen to experts over us mere subjects, so maybe you should take a readPolice are also bad shooters in a gun battle. Under that pressure, you untrained poorly practiced gun lovers would hit nothing.

And because you're also prone to misrepresenting the 'costs' of guns in society, read the following.

and as you've tried to indicate above, that people are untrained and poorly practiced, read below

more specifically, this FACT: "About 11% of police shootings kill an innocent person — about 2% of shootings by citizens kill an innocent person. The odds of a defensive gun user killing an innocent person are less than 1 in 26,000 10 despite American citizens using guns to prevent crimes almost 2,500,000 times every year." - Shall Issue: The New Wave of Concealed Handgun Permit Laws, C.
