In the aftermath of any high-profile shooting, the antis argue that guns
sales and possession must be controlled in order to save lives. What you don’t
hear in the mainstream media: guns save life. According to wikipedia.org . .
.
there are at least 55,000 defensive gun uses per year. Mind you, that stat
comes from Harvard’s die-hard gun control “researcher” David Hemenway. Other
more objective studies place the number of annual DGUs well above one
million and as many as 2.5 million.
Either way, civilian gun ownership is a net positive for society: far more
lives are saved by guns than are lost because of their use. But let’s steal
a page from the antis’ playbook and make this personal. Have you ever used
your gun to save/protect a life? If not, do you know anyone who has?
Tell us the story.
