Convince? It's reality. You pull the trigger. I'm not telling you opinion, I am stating fact. It's a fact that you pull the trigger.

So did Rambo. The idea isn't that you don't back up what you say. More frighteningly, it's that you
do backup what you're saying, namely that if you're attacked you have no choice but to shoot to kill.

Sorry, but I know enough about statistics to say something with certianty. It's the same as if I were to say that you'll never be killed by lava in NYC. It's so statistically improbable, that stating it's impossible is a safe statement.

You mean the one in a million? You might as well argue that we should all wear latex gloves and take daily doses of antibiotics to avoid flesh eating bacteria. Yes, some people get flesh eating bacteria, but taking steps to avoid something so rare is nuts.

I've already given you one: sale and distribution tracking to crack down on the source of ilelgal weapons.
And when a criminal is shooting at you from a distance, duck.
