What's your point??? More criminals are stopped by law abiding gun owners each year than are caught "in the act" by police!
You believe that more murders are committed because guns are legally available. Therefore, guns should be outlawed... Right???
Nothing could be further from the truth. Statistics show that more crime is PREVENTED by gun owners than is reported in the news.
The only time a story is reported regarding the use of a firearm is when it involves several people ...a massacre...like Columbine!
There's an old saying in the world of journalism..."If it bleeds, it leads"....But the use of a gun in self-defense is RARELY reported.
Case in point: The doctor who had two crazies invade his home, beat him over the head with a baseball bat, then rape and murder
his daughters.They killed his entire family and burned his house with his daughters tied to their beds.They burned alive! If he had
a gun, his family would have had a better chance of surviving. Now he has to live with the tragic results of his anti-gun decision...
