Will it help my wife’s best friend who was shot in the stomach six times by her husband when she got up in the middle of the night to eat something in the kitchen?

Let me introduce you to a revolutionary view about gun violence.

It is called reality with gems like, “96% of murder-suicide victims are female.”

Not now, unfortunately while they can produce light so you don’t shoot your wife six times, they sadly lack the ability to alter the space time continuum and change the past, sorry to disappoint. You have to use the flashlight before you shoot the wrong person, the flashlight can’t unshoot someone.

Btw you do know that just because some people kill their wives that doesn’t mean everyone will, right? You worried your wife is the next Jody Arias? No? See it works much the same way here, not every man is going to be Chris Benoit. That’s like that racist “13% of the population 50% of the crime,” it doesn’t mean all black people are criminals, nor does your stat mean “all men” or even “all gunowners” are wifemurderers.

Just because every abuser with a gun abuses their wife doesn’t mean that everyone is an abuser? Well no shit Sherlock.

Now are you going to tell that to the million women who get raped at gun point? Or the four million every year that are threatened by guns!?

No, you are going to make tone deaf jokes about getting a flashlight for your gun so you can see the look on your wife’s face before you pull the trigger.

Well if they’ve been convicted of DV they’re federally barred from firearms ownership, so they shouldn’t have guns. I also doubt your assertion that everyone who abuses their wives and has guns shoots their wives, or there’d be like 40% more dead cop-wives, for instance.

Tell them what? That not every rapist has a gun, not every man is a rapist, and not every gun owner is necessarily a rapist or even a man (did you know they let women buy guns these dsys? Wild I know.) Sure, put em on the phone I’ll tell them (oh and btw I’m also a rape victim, twice!)

More like “you were spouting silly bullshit so I sardonically replied, as one does.” Something is wrong with your thought process that you think “make sure to positively identify your target so you don’t accidentally shoot someone innocent” means “look your wife in the eyes as you purposefully kill her,” I don’t think you should have guns, you seem disturbed.

You are just another gun apologist doing his thing. Must be great to ignore all the suffering because “guns are toys boys”.

It is clear people like you can’t be trusted with a butter knife let alone and actual weapon. You scoff at a million women raped by gun point like it ain’t no big deal.

You can tell them your sorry. In fact we will line them up one at a time and you can let each one know it wasn’t the gun that did it. By the time you tell them all there will be millions more raped.

You can’t apologize to dead ones though so perhaps you can look their kids in the eyes and tell them it wasn’t the gun that killed your mother.

You doubt my assertion? I doubt you care about actual researched papers or facts. I doubt there is anything anyone could say to change your mind because you will refuse to believe it.

It is pretty rich you call me disturbed when everything I said was factual including a very personal experience. I am sorry you feel threatened by the fact that women are disproportionately abused and murdered by the thing you view as a toy.

I live in Alaska where real men have guns as tools not toys so I look at you like you are particularly pathetic. The fact that you fantasize about identifying your target before you kill them says all about your fucked up wanna-be military mindset.

You throw around a million women raped at gunpoint as if the guns are responsible, how many women are raped without guns by chance? Orders of magnitude more? Thought so. Of course I’m giving you flippant responses.

I’m not telling them I’m sorry for shit, I did nothing to them, I’ve raped nobody. I will tell them that the man was responsible not an inanimate object, and I’ll teach them how to defend themselves with one if they want, but make no mistake it was a person that made the decision to rape and you shouldn’t make excuses like “the gun made him do it.”

Sure, a person made that decision, not a gun, don’t make excuses for murderers either.

Oh you think just shooting dark figures is a good idea? Lol cool, you and your “real men” have fun killing innocent people by mistake then, alpha boy. I’ll be over here with the betas and gun safety. You’re a fucking joke lmao.

Without the guns there would be a lot less rapes by gun. Just like there would be a lot less suicides, murders, etc. This doesn’t even touch the surface of threats with firearms which are ridiculously common.

“Gun violence is a leading cause of premature death in the U.S. The rate of gun deaths has increased 34% from 2014 to 2023”

“Gun homicides: 19,651 people were killed by a gun in 2022, the second-highest number of gun homicide deaths ever recorded”

“Gun suicides: 27,032 people died by gun suicide in 2022, an all-time high”

These sound bad but once again it only scratches the surface. Congress has been cock blocking all efforts to research and quantify gun violence for decades literally defunding anyone who tries.

Yeah, I can see you are not sorry. It doesn’t matter how many people suffer or die for your toys. I bet if a million people died from gun violence you would just shrug. This isn’t even a thought excersise because over the last 20 years a million people have died.

Do you care? Fuck no. There are now more guns than humans in the US. If guns were the solution and not the problem we should have no crime to speak of. How many moar guns do we need to be safe Asinineallthetime?

Furthermore why does no other modern country have the problems we do. Perhaps the obvious is that Americans are uniquely pieces of shit that can’t be trusted with guns? Or maybe it is just we refuse to regulate and make guns safer.

Your going to save millions of woman (4 million to be precise) every year from their abusive partners with guns? You gonna give them all guns and train them in the ways of self-defense!?

Yeah we see how that turns out. For every law abiding intelligent and safe gun owner there are hundreds with loaded guns leaned next to their front door, under their pillow, under the seat of their car, in their purse, or jacket unsecured.

As the gun nutters always say, what is the point of a gun that is not loaded and ready to go.

How many family members is it okay to die by firearms? How many more loved ones have to be sacrificed at the altar of gunsexuals!?

You also use one of the stupidest logic fallacies about guns. That without them people would still murder, rob, suicide etc. at the same rates. You ignore the convenience of firearms and how much more likely someone is to do something stupid with a gun than without.

I went to highschool with a lot of wanna be gangsters. Seeing how a young man acts with a gun compared to without one is eye opening. Every single boy I knew that emulated gangster lifestyle is dead now.

You haven’t even shown up for this conversation. You are like some knuckle dragging dumbfuck on the sidelines shouting, “you need a flashlight so you can identify your target at night.”. To which I respond what kind of made up fantasy world do you live in?

How many innocent’s have you avoided killing because of the flashlight attached to your gun? Me even asking that questions shows how much of a fucking clown you are. The kind of person who should never own a firearm.
