Arizona House Votes To Repeal Gun-Free School Zones

57. So you support the notion that no one has ever been killed accidently by a gun?

Gun bans are not based on the concept that no gun can ever get past the perimeter of the ban, but on the premise that fewer guns equal fewer deaths by guns. People can and do get killed daily, by firearms, by accident. It is inargueable that there will be less death and injury by firearms in a given space if there are fewer firearms within that space. The concept that a space will be safer if more people were allowed to bring weapons into that space is fantasy.

I expect you will want to tell me about how safe you are personally with your own weapons, you are most likely right. Truth be told, that space is probably safer with an armed you in it. But you are not even close to representing the entire population. There are a lot of idiots out there and every single one of them work against your side of the discussion.

If you feel the need to attack me personally, you should know that I own and shoot several firearms, including a handgun. However, I have never felt the need to have one of them on my person or in my vehicle while going to a school. I acknowledge that I don't represent the entire population either, but I do believe for every instance where a crime could have been successfully prevented by a law abidding person carrying a weapon, there are multiple deaths and injuries caused accidently by firearms.
