I don’t and it shows in our gun deaths compared to every other developed country.

    Once you subtract suicides, self-defense, justifiable homicides, officer involved shootings, and accidents, what you're left with is a statistic that indicates 100% of gun violence is caused by less than 1% of gun owners.

    Overall, the vast, VAST majority of gun owners in the US are safe and do make good choices.

    We shouldn't discount suicides imo. It's tempting to say that a person who wants to kill themself will find a way, but the reality is that when you take away the quickest, easiest route, most people end up not committing suicide

    Yeah fuck suicidal people and anyone killed by cops they had it coming. Jesus christ.

    As for "justifiable homicide", you mean like... when the other guy had a gun... You want to discount those deaths why?

    If we take your number at face value. This is kind of a trolley problem thing right. Should 99 people get to have a nice day out at the range once a month, which they could easily replace with any other leisure activity, if it means one person has to die violently. If you honestly like those odds then fair play mad max.
