Debate: Where are you Republicans?
Side: This is wrong

So you’re arguing about what exactly percentages which are based on flawed metrics ?AURThe exact number of U.S. gun owners is unclear due to the fact that there is no federal registration requirement or similar regulation that would enable an official count. In fact, federal law prohibits a central registry of firearms owned by private citizens.About 40% of Americans say they or someone in their household owns a gun, and 22% of individuals (about 72 million people) report owning a gun, according to surveys from Pew and Harvard and Northeastern. This figure has declined over time, down from 51% of gun-owning households in 1978. Gun purchases, however, have hit historic highs in recent years and during the COVID-19 pandemic.Americans also own a disproportionate share of the world’s firearms: The U.S. has just 4% of the world’s population but owns about 40% of civilian-owned guns globally, according to a 2018 report from the Switzerland-based Small Arms Survey. The SAS estimates that American civilians own 393 million guns, ranking the U.S. number one in firearms per capita. And there are costs associated with these high levels of gun ownership: Researchers at Harvard have found that across developed nations, this widespread ownership of firearms is associated with higher rates of gun homicides.

The gun violence in america doesn't justify the statement that in america we all need to own a gun to feel safe in our homes. Most homes don't have a firearm. Our violence is a cultural problem. Bringing a gun into my home did not make my home more violent.

The gun violence in america doesn't justify the statement that in america we all need to own a gun to feel safe in our homes. I’m afraid your favourite site for stats PEW disagrees with your assertions , if you want to resort to your usual pedantry let’s say the majority as PEW cites protection as the top reason at 67 per cent Most homes don't have a firearm.That’s an unfounded assertion and is purely your subjective opinion Our violence is a cultural Rather you’re from a culture of violence and a nation that glorifies it Bringing a gun into my home did not make my home more violent.That’s what you say how do you prove that ? Your statement is nonsense how do you know how many homes don’t become more violent with guns in them?
Debate: Where are you Republicans?

the majority as PEW cites protection as the top reason at 67 per centRight, I carry mine because safety cannot be assured outside my home. You carry a gun for safety, you lock it up at home where it's safe. Most gun owners don't need a gun to feel safe in their home.That’s an unfounded assertion and is purely your subjective opinionIt's supported by survey data, which is the best we can get on the topic.Rather you’re from a culture of violence and a nation that glorifies itThere's more to it then that, but sure. Violence is a person problem. Inanimate objects don't create that problem. That’s what you say how do you prove that ? Your statement is nonsense how do you know how many homes don’t become more violent with guns in them?Do you have kitchen knives? Do they make you feel "stabby"?

Right , I carry mind because safety cannot be assured outside my home. Yes most Americans don’t feel safe outside their home as well as inside You carry a gun for safety, you lock it up at home where it's safe. Maybe look up gun accidents in the home?Most gun owners don't need a gun to feel safe in their home.Again that’s simply not true It's supported by survey data, which is the best we can get on the topic.The “best” does not in any way mean the most accurate and your “most “ is nonsense Here is what you ignored from earlier ..... The exact number of U.S. gun owners is unclear due to the fact that there is no federal registration requirement or similar regulation that would enable an official count. In fact, federal law prohibits a central registry of firearms owned by private citizens.There's more to it then that, but sure. Violence is a person problem.Inanimate objects don't create that problem.So if it’s a “person problem “ why not have a gun free society ?Do you have kitchen knives? Do they make you feel "stabby"?Oh here we go with the first step in that much loved American argument next step being “ a gun is actually a tool etc , etc”A kitchen knife is not designed to make one feel “stabby ” but a gun is designed to kill you just admitted you need one outside your home to feel safe Do you ever tire of making fallacious arguments?

Yes most Americans don’t feel safe outside their home as well as insideBaseless.Maybe look up gun accidents in the home?Most gun owners lock up. Gun accidents notwithstanding.Again that’s simply not trueOf course it is. Carrying a personal defense tool does not imply you are afraid without it. My wife carries mace. She's not afraid when she forgets it. So if it’s a “person problem “ why not have a gun free society ?Because we don't want one. It's a person problem that isn't a problem for most gun owners. We also have a alcoholics. But it's not a problem for most drinkers, and we don't want a beer free society. a gun is designed to killSo what? Martial arts are designed to help you effectively strike people....oh boy, doni have to defend martial arts next?you just admitted you need one outside your home to feel safeSafety cannot be assured outside the home, but I left my gun at home today and did not feel unsafe. I was simply less of a potential asset to those around me.

Baseless.Protection number one reason for having one so your charge is invalid Most gun owners lock up. Gun accidents notwithstanding.Did you even bother looking up gun accidents in the home Of course it is. Carrying a personal defense tool does not imply you are afraid without it. A “tool “ 🤣 Ok you feel unsafe without it as you’ve admitted My wife carries mace. She's not afraid when she forgets it.Why does she carry it then ? Is it not to feel safe ?Christ what a country dad carry’s a gun mum carries mace what about the kids knuckle dusters?It’s truly tragic Americans see this as a norm Because we don't want one. It's a person problem that isn't a problem for most gun owners. Yes we’ve agreed on this your society is very violent , here now is the part where most Americans start arguing the opposite as in they live in a very peaceful society We also have a alcoholics. But it's not a problem for most drinkers, and we don't want a beer free society.Why would you ? Drinking your fill of beer normally doesn’t kill you it’s mostly pleasurable So what? Martial arts are designed to help you effectively strike people....oh boy, doni have to defend martial arts next?Yes and gun owners training is designed to teach you to kill You do not have to defend anything you don’t wish to Safety cannot be assured outside the home, but I left my gun at home today and did not feel unsafe. Wonder if you would say that depending on the time of day /night / area you were in ?I was simply less of a potential asset to those around me.And you realised it your wife still had here mace though and probably checked and asked “have you got your gun”Must be terrible going out for a day , house keys , phone , car keys , oh and gun

Did you even bother looking up gun accidents in the homeYeahOk you feel unsafe without it as you’ve admittedNo I don't. I've never said that. But you comprehend very poorly. I don't buckle up because I'm afraid of a car accident. I don't actually expect a car accident. Furthermore, I don't see protective gun use as a an avenue of defending only ones self.here now is the part where most Americans start arguing the opposite as in they live in a very peaceful societyHow do you argue that most Americans argue that they are perfectly safe and also argue that most Americans don't feel safe?If they argue that, it's because they personally live in a safe place. Many gun owners are rural while most crime is urban. So rural gun nuts have a bunch of gun owning neighbors and they all feel perfectly safe because they are are perfectly safe with or without the guns. Why would you ? Drinking your fill of beer normally doesn’t kill you it’s mostly pleasurableOwning and shooting a gun is mostly pleasurable. Wonder if you would say that depending on the time of day /night / area you were in ?Area makes a difference.

YeahPEW is only your friend when it suits you No I don't. I've never said that. But you comprehend very poorly. I comprehend perfectly you carry to feel safe and protect your family as you also admitted .....the wife has back up just in case I don't buckle up because I'm afraid of a car accident. I don't actually expect a car accidentAnother dreadful analogy , you see the difference is you do carry to protect you and your family as you admitted but now are denying . Furthermore, I don't see protective gun use as a an avenue of defending only ones self.No it’s to protect your vulnerable family as well as you admit How do you argue that most Americans argue that they are perfectly safe and also argue that most Americans don't feel safe?But that’s exactly the road you’re going now If they argue that, it's because they personally live in a safe place. Many gun owners are rural while most crime is urban. So rural gun nuts have a bunch of gun owning neighbors and they all feel perfectly safe because they are are perfectly safe with or without the guns.You’re making no sense at all another poor attempt at deflection Owning and shooting a gun is mostly pleasurable.“Mostly” yes Americans get pleasure from shooting guns we know this stats confirm that Area makes a difference. But not too much of one.Says he as he takes a late night walk in certain areas You don't carry a wallet?See that forgot my wallet bet you don’t forget your gun ......or remind the missus “get your mace , just in case “ .......

Accidental gun death stats are not a problem, I just won't do your research for you.I didn't say anything about protecting my family. We almost never go out at the same time.Taking precautions does not imply fear without said precautions.Your position that most Americans don't feel safe was contradicted by your assertion that most Americans will argue that they live in a peaceful society.I walk in all kinds of places at various times of day and night. Usually I have a gun, but not always. In neither case am I particularly afraid.As for the mace. I don't know if she still has it. She may take it or leave it, but she would never say it's a bad idea. She also has her conceal carry permit, though she very rarely carries.

Still no one has quoted his relevant tweets here.Incidentally I actually did the research you refused to maybe you could get your buddy Jace to assist you if he’s not busy working on gender issues ....”again” BTW I posted one of the reasons why Trump should be charged and even the legal code of said charge , but as you keep saying the law shouldn’t apply to Trump

Accidental gun death stats are not a problem,I know life is cheap  I just won't do your research for you.I’m well aware of the stats all this is deflection on your part  I didn't say anything about protecting my family. We almost never go out at the same time.No , you used typical Amarel speak as in “ I’m more of an asset with a gun” Taking precautions does not imply fear without said precautions.Fear will depend on time , area etc , etc in the US again as you concededYour position that most Americans don't feel safe was contradicted by your assertion that most Americans will argue that they live in a peaceful society.That’s not my “position “ I said it’s a typical position by gun nuts as in they need a gun for protection but then don’t , you’re doing that very dance I walk in all kinds of places at various times of day and night. Usually I have a gun, but not always. In neither case am I particularly afraid.You do not seem to acknowledge how ridiculous that sounds to people who live in civilised societies As for the mace. I don't know if she still has it. She may take it or leave it, but she would never say it's a bad idea.See that more Amarel speak why not just say “she thinks it’s a good idea” ? She also has her conceal carry permit, though she very rarely carries.That probably worries you a lot
Debate: Where are you Republicans?
Side: No it's cool

It's not that life is cheap. It's just that in 2018, accidental gun deaths are near the very bottom of the list of accidesntal deaths according to the CDC. Before you bitch and moan about links and sources, the accidental death argument is yours, not mine.I am more of an asset with a gun if a circumstance arises requiring a gun. Not specifically to my family, but to anyone in the area that requires a gun.Sure, fear may exist in certain locations. That's independent of the carrying of a gun.If it's the position of gun nuts that they need it for protection, but it is also the position of gun nuts that they live in a safe society, then gun nuts must believe they need a gun for protection in a safe society. If they believe that, then they don't feel unsafe, regardless of the desire for protection.I don't live where you do, so I don't know why it sounds ridiculous to you that I am not particularly afraid of my mostly peaceful environment whether I carry or not. We all now know how mostly peaceful things can be.My wife has the ability to carry for practical legal reasons. I don't care that she rarely carries since the few occasions she does are mostly for convenience. (Transport laws and whatnot)

I am more of an asset with a gun if a circumstance arises requiring a gun. Not specifically to my family, but to anyone in the area that requires a gun.Amarel, your language is just fucking ridiculous. Asset? You are more of a threat with a gun. People are more likely to shoot you. You are more likely to shoot other people.How can any situation "require" a gun if guns have only existed for 500 or so years out of a history comprised of some 200,000 years? You are someone who is completely dependent upon the abuse of language in order to make any form of argument.
Debate: Where are you Republicans?
Side: No it's cool

Asset? You are more of a threat with a gun. People are more likely to shoot you. You are more likely to shoot other people.My gun is carried concealed. At the outset of most conceivable situations of this sort, I would be no more likely than any other person walking around. If/after it is known that I have a gun, sure. I would be more likely to get shot. So I agree. Overall I am more likely to get shot, I am more of a threat to those who I would be inclined to shoot, and of course with a gun I am more likely to shoot someone than if I don't have one. None of those point, which I concede, would make me less of an asset. Myself and others are still better of with me having a gun than with me not having a gun. There are situations where lethal threats need to be stopped, and lethal force of a gun is the most effective way to do it. In those situations, it's best if someone has one.Have you ever been in a situation that required money? A car? A computer? A cell phone? How long something has been around doesn't change it's hypothetical necessity now. Especially with weapons, the proper use of which depends on the other weapons at play.

It's not that life is cheapTo me it’s not you’re correct , to you life is very cheap as you again brush it off . It's just that in 2018, accidental gun deaths are near the very bottom of the list of accidesntal deaths according to the CDC.Government warning ⚠️ ⛔️ incoming Amarel - speak put on your bullshit filters ......Typical piece of Amarel -speak lets talk gun accidents .... yet there are on average 40,000 gun deaths through accident and 84,000 gun injuries yearly (CDC)Do the addition I’m “glad “you see such figures as of no consequence  Before you bitch and moan about links and sources, the accidental death argument is yours, not mine.I’m bitching and moaning about nothing just pointing out yet again you cannot even be honest with stats and still ask me to do independent research yet demand links and data when from me in your hypocrisy you have consistency anyway I am more of an asset with a gun if a circumstance arises requiring a gun. That’s 21 times now you’ve told me you feel safer with a gun I get I concede you live in a violent society Not specifically to my family, but to anyone in the area that requires a gun.Ahh right you’re a protector of the general public at large as well as yourself and your family , you’re an “asset “to society in general .....How does one greet you “ thank you for your service” ?Sure, fear may exist in certain locations. That's independent of the carrying of a gun.But you carry the gun in all locations so all your journeys a gun is mostly party to as you’re dependent on it If it's the position of gun nuts that they need it for protection, but it is also the position of gun nuts that they live in a safe society, then gun nuts must believe they need a gun for protection in a safe society.Gun nuts always cite government tyranny as high on the list and live in total fear of such as recent times showed when Covid first hit America and they were told to wear masks all over FB Twitter it kicked off post after post of “ you won’t gag us freedom of speech , they wanna take our guns “ all this with photos of mask free idiots carrying guns and not wearing masks going on marches Europeans watch American news flashes in astonishment at the sheer lunacy of Americans and the tragedy is most try to normalize it

According to the CDC, there were 454 unintentional gun deaths in 2018. 486 in 2017. It's the cause of nearly the fewest accidental deaths.Would it bother you if where I live people thank me?So gun nuts cite fear of a the government turning tyrannical (not according to Pew polls), but claim they live in a peaceful society. That still cuts against your initial assertion that they need a gun to feel safe in their home.

My preferred source is the CDC. It's easy and accessable.I didn't say anything about protecting my family. I don't know why you keep saying that. I said without a gun I am less of an asset to others.Owning a gun for protection and feeling perfectly safe are not a contradiction. Furthermore, your admission that this is your experience of Americans makes my point that Americans do not need to own guns to feel safe. They simply feel safe and own a lot of guns.
