Congressman Says He'll Carry A Gun From Now On To Stay Safe, But It's The Wrong Answer

The response to gun violence should not be that we need to further arm ourselves against that violence. There are, of course, examples of armed citizens preventing shootings, as a Washington Post round-up shows, but those events are exceedingly rare. According to the Violence Policy Center's most recent analysis, there were only 224 cases in 2014 of citizens justifiably using firearms to defend themselves or others. Between 2013 and 2015, intended victims of violent crimes used a firearm in self-defense in only 1.1 percent of crimes.

They are only rare in your world, not in the real world. There are huge numbers of real selfdefence events in the US every day that are never reported in the libral media, and they will never be reported!

Wrong answer for WHO? Not for the congressman, obviously.

According to the VPC a defensive shooting only counts if the victim shoots and kills their attacker.
Cases where the criminal is only wounded or simply held at gunpoint until the cops arrive don't count in their book.
