law-abiding citizens can use them to kill people infringing upon their rights
you know, like the 500,000 - 3 million occurances of that nature as estimated by the CDC
"AR-15 firing a 100 bullets a minute"

I've seen the citation for that CDC line, that's from an optimistic study from 2001. A pessimistic study puts the number around 108k, though it's still quite a lot yearly for only having 17k all-cause total deaths as reported by the FBI
yeah, I've read it being as 'low' as 108k too
Ugh, just got in an argument with an art student friend of mine who basically believed all guns should be unilaterally be out of the general populace's hands. I made the self defense argument, and he had the following stance:
A situation where you would need to defend yourself is so rare, it doesn't outweigh all of the deaths from shootings / gun violence, and that you shouldn't be so paranoid. Is this what kids believe nowadays?
I'm not even a gun guy really, but believe it should be an option to those it matters to
But it's not rare. He's irrational.
It definitely outweights, yes, by sheer numbers.
Everyday you wear that gun, you look like an idiot, until the day you need it.
As we were discussing above, even the lowball number is 108,000 cases of self-defence using a firearm
So basically due to the spectacle of mass shootings totalling 20-60 deaths per year, we should void those other 108,000 instances
Meanwhile..
I was hoping for a Street Sweeper
I love getting ammo in the mail
`The couple regularly posted videos of much safer pranks to a YouTube channel in a bid to achieve internet fame. Perez told investigators Ruiz had convinced her to participate by showing her other books he had shot where the bullet did not go through to the other side.`
"huh, I wonder what gun they were us-"
`They used a GoPro camera to record the video in which Perez aimed a Desert Eagle .50 calibre at the book before pulling the trigger.`

"In 480 BC, the Persian king Xerxes demanded that the Spartans give up their weapons. King Leonidas responded with the phrase ΞΞΞΩΠΞΞΞΞ (molon labe) which meant "Come and take them." This led to the Battle of Thermopylae. The ignorant millennial in the photo was part of yesterday's Tide Pod Walkout.
