Personally, I know I will probably never be a victim of a mass shooting. I know that I could have a gun pointed at my head at least once in my lifetime because some asshole decided they just didn't like me enough.

I, on the otherhand, don't associate with gangbangers or any other lowlifes who make a habit out of pointing guns at people who don't like me enough, so I'm not worried about having a gun pointed to my head. I can control that with my own common sense. What I can't control is accidentally walking into the wrong shopping mall at the wrong time of day, as rare as that may be.

That's a case where the home owner feels their life is in danger. Important distinction between protecting life vs. protecting property.

At least you are honest.

Only about 1% of the counties/cities in the US deal with "regular" murders the rest of the country only really has death through mass murder.

Doesn’t matter if you don’t associate with them, plenty of people still die in the crossfire in gang wars.

Only about 1% of the counties/cities in the US deal with "regular" murders the rest of the country only really has death through mass murder. Thus those who made the choice to live in the 99% safe areas deserve to be prioritized over those who made the choice to live in the 1% murder ridden parts of the USA.

Its about saving those who made the choice to live in a safe place and protect them selves.

It's not just gangbangers or other lowlifes who will point guns at your head. Anyone can do it.

Yeah why would proponents for self defense care about people being killed

Pretend I care about what? People die in gag wars, because gangs are allowed to run rampant because frankly many police forces can’t handle them. Don’t know where the faux morality beating comes in.

Not to mention there are areas in many cities where the police will not go. So they effectively become gang controlled areas.

Lmao

The only time you pay attention to the homicide rate is when you google it so you can argue on nationstates.

You know the best side dish for all those numbers you have there?

And don’t act like you give a shit about “99%” of America.
