And in Africa you're far more likely to be attacked. What's your point?


Third world countries etc, its all about seeing things for what they are. I am comparing first world countries because once you get into other issues it makes it hard to see what is going on.
However the point is, in america with guns you are more likely to be attacked and more likely to need a gun and the chances of losing are just as great as in europe, though the chances of losing your life are much greater.

You don't get that option, that decision isn't available. The decision of whether or not you're attacked is in the hands of the criminal.


Well it is, isnt it. I can decide where i go, where i live. I dont have to live in DC if i dont want to, i therefore reduce the chances of being attacked, i can live in europe, again reducing the chances of being attacked.

Quote:
You have a better chance of actually living if you've been attacked and you have a gun in your possession for your own defense.


Prove it.

How many of the two thirds are underaged? How many are poor and can't afford to spend $500 on a gun? How many live in areas where they CAN'T own a gun?


I dont know, why dont you find out??

Quote:
You do NOT have that choice! You as an individual have no choice in playing any part in preventing crime before it happens, beacuse that option is impossible on the individual level!


So choice of where you live is not made on an individual level, in which communist country do you live?

Quote:
Yeah well I HAVE had to defend myself, multiple times. I've had to defend myself with a gun before on several occasions. And if I didn't have it I'd be DEAD!


Great, well you know what, i am older than you and have never had to defend myself. Probably it comes down to A) where i live and B) how i conduct myself and the awareness i take when i am on the streets.
I have chosen not to be attacked, you have decided there is nothing you can do about it, the result, you have been attacked, i have not.

You aren't legally allowed to defend yourself in the UK.


Except for the fact that we have a law which allows us to defend ourselves you mean?? You know you are talking rubbish, you just try and wind people up.

I've already torn down your cohort Gilligan regarding Japan as not being a developed nation but rather a communist nation. I can disembowel you just as easily, but it wouldn't do any good because you never read any of my posts.

You have even been to the moon and back.

Quote:
WE DON'T! There's no proof supporting that we're contributing to criminals; at least not those of us that actually abide by the laws.


You are talking about proof? Im amazed. Actually there is, there are more guns in the US for a reason, criminals get guns more easily because there are more of them. I mean, when criminals can buy guns from legal sources, you know there is something wrong.
