Instead of making things up: “And if you do have access to your weapon you are more likely to get hurt if you try to use it. If an armed robber is in your house he will run if you start yelling how you have a gun and you called the police. And the robber is more likely to shoot back if you start shooting” pure B.S.
Why not refer to the recent Arizona shootings when a legal gun carrying citizen did not use his gun and instead tackled and held the criminal shooter. The gun carrying citizen was able to make a rational decision and choose a physical takedown instead of using his gun. Again, the only person using his gun was the criminal.[/quote]
So the benefit of easy access to guns is exactly what?
