Real world? A guy comes and robes you, you cock your shotgun and they get spooked. A guy comes and rapes you and you take out your pistol. There is a shooter and a cop with a gun stops them, or an NRA instructor with an AR-15

The funny thing is that when they analyzed actual instances of gun use for defense they found that using a gun was as effective as just screaming. But I guess we should just go with your feels & incredulity instead of with the data.

LOL! "Respect their FEELS! REEEEEEEEE! More people own guns than are killed by guns! Stop pointing to the data that shows that the guns don't actually protect them!" Good job buddy.

Do you see how saying I need to provide data right after I provided two sources of reliable data makes you sound autistic?

Can't use the Shapiro routine if I actually send you facts. One from CDC

Your numbers don't say what impact the use of a gun had, which was my entire point. If 500,000-3mill ppl use guns to defend themselves & they aren't ass effective as other methods then what is your point? Just that someone used one. Who the fuck is the autist here?

A guy robs you and notices the gun, doesn't care but notices the girl has some muscles and runs terrified. I'm going with the best data available, now you prove that these guns aren't the relevant factor when people with guns avoid harm

Me: Here's data showing an analysis of incidences where someone used a gun in self-defense. They found that guns are not more effective than other methods. FrogNation: Yeah, but if a guy goes into your house! I have hypothetical anecdotes!

So how do you address the findings of the National Crime Victimization Surveys?
