As a side note, Hitler and Stalin had strict gun control ;)

Seretogis, did you even read the article? It was not a case of someone defending themselves with a firearm. It was a case of a lone, unidentified gunman executing someone drive-by style who was purportedly attacking someone.

This is not self-defense. If you are going to attempt to debunk my arguments, can you avoid changing what we are talking about?

I was not responding to or defending the article, I was responding to your assumption that guns are rarely used for any good, which is not correct.

So the moral thing to do was let her die?

So you solution to stoping gun homicides from illegal guns is to take them away from the people that DIDNT use them illegally or obtain them illegally?

Stop trying to create both sides of the argument.


I'm wondering about the number of cases like the one in the article you posted compared to the numbger of gun homicides committed using illegally acquired guns.

I'm having a hard time trying to follow you, but are you implying that I said the guy in your article was using an illegal gun? I really don't know how you got that but if that's what your interpretation is then I'm telling you you totally missed what I was saying.

Also, if you're referring to your article, are you saying that the guy who shot the man assaulting the girl used his gun legally?

I'm lost. Often when you get to this point the thread has degraded into meaningless attacks.

We dont know anything about the guy in the article other than he saved a womans life. Did he use the gun legally? Thats why they are investigating. My gut tells me he saved her life, but that is not legally binding in any way. I already posted the number of homicides using LEGAL guns. And they were ignored.
