Worth noting that across all of America, there are between 500,000 and 3,000,000 defensive gun uses every year. By contrast, there are around 50,000 gun deaths, the majority of which are suicide (around 2/3rds) every year. Even padding out gun deaths to include suicides, there are well over 10 times as many defensive gun uses.

Anyone suggesting guns should be outlawed wishes to see those people as victims. There is no other way to say it. Violent crime rises when guns are outlawed, and has a history of doing so, while the crime decline RATE doesn't change at all. Meaning that crime goes down at the same rate before and after gun bans. Almost like guns aren't the problem.

By contrast, there are around 50,000 gun deaths, the majority of which are suicide (around 2/3rds) every year.

And that number is well above the norm and, if the case, still residue from the lockdowns and general state of shittiness.

It's usually more around 30,000+ total deaths a year and, as you say, most are suicides. The numbers I've seen, which seemed pretty consistent up until everything went off the rails, is 12k-15k non-suicide gun deaths per year. And a huge chunk of that is gang violence in the cities. Gun violence (putting aside the absurdity of the term itself) is barely even a thing. Gang violence is a thing, though.

There is no doubt that grabbers are on the side of criminals. They barely hide it any more. You have zero bail, BLM, defund the po-lice, and Soros prosecutors. Elites like criminals better than regular Joes. Cucks dont' want anyone to have options that the cucks are too pussy to exercise themselves.

the robbers appear to be white, which makes sense since this is Norco, which is basically a white/hispanic area with almost no black people.

edit: calm down everyone. I was looking at their hands on a small screen and didn't notice they were wearing white gloves. Dude in the replies confirmed they're black.

In other words there's no escaping the dindus by moving to a red area of a blue state. They just travel further from the hood when they run out of soft targets close to home. You have to move to a state where the law is actually enforced.

It’s called crime tourism.

It’s also why people are 100% in the right when they become suspicious of strangers in a neighborhood who do not match the local demographics.

I didn't look at them closely, I was just looking at their hands which seemed to be white, but looking again, they're wearing gloves.

SoCal and Black. Down here in NorCal they just walk in, open the register, empty it and walk out. Police here take a knee as they leave.

I agree. I was looking at their hands which looked white, but looking again it's just gloves.

What do you honestly expect from Ben Shapiro?

Good for him. Maybe not the best tactical choice, though; this could have easily ended very badly for the store owner, and I'm glad he's alright.

It probably wasn't a semi-auto shotgun, and if the robber had wanted to stick around he could have. Even if just for momentary revenge.

It is an important lesson, though, although not one you should necessarily rely on when your life is on the line; these robbers often don't want to kill people and, even armed, will hesitate or even wimp out completely if given any resistance. Again, not self defense advice, because if you run into the wrong guy resisting will just get you murdered. But often they aren't actually prepared to pull the trigger. Glad that was the case here, or this story could look very different.

And he'll never get robbed again as they now he's packing, will use it and accurate.

It's like when people see the consequences of their actions, they typically try to avoid the ones that put them 6 feet under

Justice would be hanging the whole gang, but their would-be victim blasting one with a shotgun is a good start.

Cope also told CBS LA that he thinks "more people should vote and vote the right way, and I think the politicians... this isn't going to get me on the right side of a lot of people, but there's a whole lotta people out there, they got no clue what it's like to try to run a small business.

"And when they're letting people out... and we've got bad people, let's face it. There's bad people, bad people we don't need. We need to get them locked up because this is a scary situation when that happens," he also said. "Everybody works hard. They got bills to pay. These guys are going to come in and take it away from you. Not here."

Imagine thinking that laying down everytime someone threatens you means you're safe instead of just an easy target.
