to persuade readers that having a gun in their home actually makes them less safe.
Oh he's one of those dumbasses.
Moreover, Kristof painted an image of the U.S. as extremely violent, writing, “Elsewhere, brutes send their victims to the E.R.; in America, they send them to their graves.”
Yeah, I should go to the ER instead of the robbers going to their graves. How does that make fucking sense.
He then admitted he has guns on his farm, but stressed that the pursuit of “personal safety” is not a good reason to get one.
White people have spent the last hundred years being taught that violence is never the answer, and as a result we're the only race that doesn't fight back when targeted.
There's no push to disarm the hood. Just the country. There's a reason for that.
I've never figured out why other people's statistics have any bearing on me. Like, just presume for a minute, I keep all my guns in a good gun safe and don't keep any ammo in the house. I am very unlikely to be shot with my own gun.
So it seems to me the danger is entirely on how you handle the gun and who is around in your house. Seems like a personal issue.
Owning a gun increases your chances of being shot by roughly infinity percent because you can’t be shot with something that doesn’t exist. Having a pool similarly increases your odds of drowning in your backyard. This isn’t a good reason not to own a pool.
I think you mean owning a gun increases your chance of getting shot by your own gun. Sure. I think the grabbers argue that it increases your chance of getting shot, period. But anyways, looking at yourself as a statistic is the wrong way to go about it; I agree. We keep many things that can be dangerous. You know, rat poison, draino... We keep them responsibly.

What is wrong with these cunts.
This is far more insidious.
Mental illness does make one more susceptible to brain washing
or just the tribe

I'd bet you anything he goes off about "over"-population elsewhere...
