30. There's the thing about facts vs. opinion- Facts remain the same no matter how you feel about them.

And the fact remains that you are more likely to be unlawfully killed by a cop than
a CCW holder- and CCW holders outnumber cops about 5 or 6 to 1.

"Time and time again gungeoneers insist CCW holders are all law abiding citizens and dismiss the possibility that they could commit a crime."

I note that you studiously neglect to provide any examples of this purported 'insistence' when
you say this. Do you believe if you keep repeating this horseshit it will somehow become true?
