Reply #8: Okay, So Ya Got Yer "Righteous" Shootings.... [View All]

killing a bad guy, that is. Then ya got yer "not-so-righteous" shootings, which, I think we can all agree, include murder, suicide and accident.

"According to federal government figures, for every time a citizen used a firearm in 1996 in a justifiable homicide, 160 lives were ended in firearm suicides, murders, and accidental shootings."

It's a sad truth, my friend. If you have a firearm in the house (and I have several), it is far more likely to kill you or a family member than some criminal intruder. Just sayin'.
