Ten times as many people are shot and killed in arguments than in a crime.
Being from a big city and reading the daily newspaper each day, I must say that Mr Bagley here missed the number one reason to have a gun. To shoot that dickheado in that club parking lot. Which happens just about every day with reports most always accompanied by names that end in vowels. Next on the list is having to shoot that dickheado in the apartment complex parking lot. Then comes having to shoot the witchy wife who is sleeping around and taking your kids to Kansas. After all that come the various forms of road rage, home rage, on the corner rage, workplace rage, restaurant rage and school rage. THEN comes protecting oneself from burglars, home invaders and convenience store robbers. Oh I forgot little kids accidentally shooting themselves and each other. I wonder if even that happens more than protecting oneself from criminals?
Oh wait! I have just been informed that the guns are not for crime or ducks at all! The guns are for killing cops, sheriffs, the state patrol, the National Guard, our troops in the Army, Air Force, Navy, Coast Guard, the FBI, the DEA, the ATF and all those liberal bureaucrats in Washington. Oh, and wolves from helicopters…
You know if you believe you need a gun to protect yourself from dire straights, perhaps you should also buy a little red wagon to drag a lightening rod behind you everywhere you go.
