  1. @redenchilada Aside from personally enjoying collecting and shooting firearms, no reliable evidence has proven that guns are responsible for the violent crime that anti-gun types typically attribute to gun ownership. It is true that the USA (more relaxed gun control in many states) has a higher rate of violent crime than Japan (strict anti-gun laws on the books). However, Switzerland has more relaxed gun control laws vis-à-vis other countries in Europe, and their violent crime rate is much lower than that of the United Kindgom (strong anti-gun laws on the books over there).

    I have always found it ironic that there are so-called progressives that complain about police brutality on the one hand and then effectively say that these very same police should be the only people with guns by coming out against the idea of civilians being allowed to own fireams.
