WA: The awesome, life-shattering power of guns

This is what guns are not:

In the hands of civilians, they are not protection from crime. Unless you wear a uniform with a badge or a service patch on it, the gun you carry is more likely to kill you or someone you know or love than it is to kill anyone who threatens you or your loved ones. The “good guy with a gun” who will protect us, rather than threaten us, is the man or woman who has been screened, trained, authorized and empowered by us to do the job. Anyone else, no matter how well-intentioned, is an amateur at best and a hazard to the rest of us at worst.

"The 'good guy with a gun' who will protect us...."

Most CCW people I know carry because they envision themselves pseudo-policemen, they carry to protect themselves & family.
And there are between 500,000 and 1,000,0000 cases where honest people do EXACTLY that, with guns, each year.
So the idea of the CCWer being more of a danger to average people is a LIE.

That 1,000,0000 figure should read one million. One too many zeroes snuck in.

One of the facts that these morons don't get is that the prevalence of gun owners protects everyone.

The criminals don't fear the police or the courts. The likelihood of getting caught is low to begin with, and even if caught the miscreant will get a slap on the wrist, probation, or a short stay in jail followed by barely supervised probation.

Ask any criminal and the biggest thing that they fear is an armed victim. Law abiding citizens with guns prevent untold crime. The liberals just won't admit that.

One more idiot typo: I didn't mean to say most cwers considered themselves pseudopolicemen, I meant to say most DID NOT consider themselves so.

Back to typing 101 for me, I guess.😩
 

 QUOTES TO REMEMBER
No kingdom can be secured otherwise than by arming the people. The possession of arms is the distinction between a freeman and a slave. He, who has nothing, and who himself belongs to another, must be defended by him, whose property he is, and needs no arms. But he, who thinks he is his own master, and has what he can call his own, ought to have arms to defend himself, and what he possesses; else he lives precariously, and at discretion. — James Burgh, Political Disquisitions: Or, an Enquiry into Public Errors, Defects, and Abuses [London, 1774-1775].
