    the right to bear arms exists to protect people from tyrants

    And yet, it’s the would-be tyrants who are armed to the teeth.

      this is why more young feminists need to support gun ownership and learn how to use weapons

      women should be able to choose what they want to wear, the type of weapons they want to own, and what to do with their bodies

      the NRA needs to stop being thought of as conservative and liberals need to embrace the NRA

            Nice theory, but owning a gun makes you less safe, not more. You are way more likely to be hurt by your own gun than successfully using it to defend yourself.

                It has nothing to do with circumstances, it’s plain statistics. Look up the numbers.

                  your statistics don’t know who i live with, who lives next door, or how corrupt my government is. and, as samuel clemons said, there are three kinds of lies: lies, damn lies, and statistics.

                    What is it with Americans that they seem so be so afraid all the time. You see danger everywhere. Life now is safer than it has ever been in the history of humanity.

        Why are you insisting we turn everything into an active war zone
