"all but one major American city has had a mass shooting since 2013, with Austin, Texas as the lone exception. This year alone, nearly 100 metro areas have experienced mass shootings." 4 or more people shot.
More people use weapons each year for defending themselves, toddlers, kids, family members, cops, and strangers than preschoolers and cops who are killed each year by a wide margin. More Americans have defended themselves with weapons than have ever shot themselves in the foot. Isn't it wonderful American's can defend their lives with an equalizer against overwhelming odds! Relying on the government is fool hardy and the trappings of the weak minded anti gun supporters. http://gunwatch.blogspot.com/2016/05/update-tx-more-details-on-odessa.html?m=1 LOL watch JB go nuts on this link LOL
As mentioned earlier, October, November, and December were the peak months for self-inflicted gunshot wounds to the foot, likely because this is when most hunting seasons run, Cosco suggests.
Everything that needs to be known about gun heroes is right here in a chart for the regressives who always need pictures with for their information on everything. Some hand holding has to be done to make it easier for this group that obviously needs it done in a easy way for them. You don't have to thank me though.
"• On September 6, an off-duty cop accidentally fired a round inside the restroom of a Target in Honolulu. The bullet bounced off a stall door before drilling another stall. He allegedly called 911, but the incident never appeared in the police department's public reports, leading TV station KHON2 to wonder if somebody tried to cover up the mishap." - - - Updated - - - " A man was walking to the bathroom (OK, this one squeaks by) in April in Attleboro, Massachusetts, when the gun in his pocket went off. The bullet hit him and then struck his wife in the foot, says the Sun Chronicle, sending both to the hospital." - - - Updated - - - •" Last spring, customers at a Burger King in Manchester Township, Pennsylvania, were shocked by what sounded like a "cannon going off" in the men's room. The source, writes the York Dispatch, was a guy whose 9mm pistol discharged, sending him into a panic as he tried to flee through an emergency exit (and then, when it wouldn't open, the front door)." - - - Updated - - - " Last Thursday, an elementary school teacher in a Salt Lake City suburb unwittingly discharged her concealed weapon in the faculty bathroom. The bullet shattered a toilet, sending shards into her leg and her to the hospital. The school promptly made crisis counselors available to students, reports the AP, which adds this context:"
"OCALA, Fla. An Ocala police officer died Monday evening after he was accidentally shot during firearms training, the police department said."
The new York Police department use their guns when they need to and their gun goes off accidentally another 50% over the incidents during crimes. 1 out of three professionals shots are in every direction imaginable by their going off when the didn't want it to go off. Those are police , there is no way that anyone is going to convince me that the public guns go off at the same rate or more then people shooting them when there is a need. One for the bad guy and one going anywhere in any direction. Everyone should own a gun
"What we do know is that in 2011, there were 14,675 unintentional, non-fatal firearms injuries in the US. Some percentage of these are self-inflicted. " then add in the 600 that died , yup we have to get more guns into everyone that can walk and see hands. Of course the more guns, the less people get shot accidentally or something like that. Right small mind guy.
I'm a 'non-gun owner'.....If I shot you It wouldn't be with MY gun. Hey, we need a sign like that!! Along with 'Keep Out'
So far I'm getting the impression you'd like to see police officers disarmed. Falling out of bed killed almost as many people as guns last year. Are you on the bed-guardrail for safety commission too?
No I'm not, I'm just pointing out a obvious fact that if these professionals discharge their guns one times accidentally for every 2 times they use it when it is needed, then the general gun owner do worse. My point is I'm guessing that the public gun owners with all the untrained incompetents in it, probably reverse those numbers , accidentally discharging two bullets in every direction vs 1 time they use it to protect themselves. Not good numbers.
And more preschoolers are killed by cars than guns. Your point? The vast majority of them are suicides, second running is murder, and so on. Break that number down. Plus more people died from car accidents than gun homicides. Notice how long it took for you to find a story like this (with no source). And yet I bet dollars to donuts that your state has ten car accidents per week.
Well you would be wrong. Between October 1, 1987 and January 31, 2011, there were 168 revocations for firearms related violations in Florida......out of almost 2 Million CCW licenses being issued during that time. I'd call those VERY good numbers. - - - Updated - - - Donuts kill a lot more people than guns do.
Your point is what? Should we ban cruisers because crashes have killed police officers? If you have a point you should make it...
Goofy question, laws and regulations are written to protect people, sometimes from themselves. If the numbers are this high for gun heroes shooting people wrongly or by accident , the solutions is using those same laws and regulations to help resolve it.
