145. Are you intentionally being obtuse?

Nov 2013

The statistics about a convenience store worker being shot at work while they have a gun at home is a meaningless statistic, yet it is included in your stats.

The criminals I was referring to were not home invaders, they were shooting each other in their homes and bulking up your stats.

I never mentioned any defensive use of guns in the home.

The lifestyles I mentioned was about criminals, not gun owners such as myself who follow the law and keep guns locked up with ammunition locked up separately. (That is a Minnesota law for homes with children in the home.)
