And as for the suicide I'm pretty sure that stupidly easy access to firearms increases the suicide rate, because someone can get it done before the shitty thought gets out of their head. Saves on impulse suicides.

Yep, the stats bear this out - women attempt suicide more often than men, but men have a higher rate of suicide because they’re more likely to use a violent method like a gun https://www.bbc.com/future/article/20190313-why-more-men-kill-themselves-than-women …pic.twitter.com/9SGUF72Io3

I don’t think you actually understand prevention. You can’t measure what didn’t happen like suicides prevented by people who didn’t have guns at home, or better yet, robberies averted by having a gun at home

Great, for explaining my point!!! you can’t measure everything! In the meantime, I’ll keep my weapons to protect my home and you protect your home with stats!

Is this a fetish/fantasy thing? You can definitely count how many home invasions were stopped by a homeowner with weapon. And can count how many weapons have been stolen during burglaries. It's not many and quite a lot respectively.

It’s more a fact thing for me! I haven’t posted any videos, but you are more then welcome to go to YouTube do a search of homeowners that stop burglaries with a gun vs one that stop burglars with Stats.

Ah, the old go to YouTube. A couple of dozen cases of successful home defence in a country of 300+ million people is hardly compelling, but I wish you well, and I hope in the unlikely event it happens to you you are awake and have a weapon to hand, and you can finally get one off

Dozens? There are over hundreds of these videos, if you include all the news reports of intruder shot by homeowner. wow if you looks at that, news report (on YouTube) two days old “Fairfield police:intruder shot, killed by homeowner” good thing that homeowner doesn’t know stats
