roughly 11,000 lives have been lost through non-suicide deaths involving a firearm each year. [...] The CDC report said, "Studies that directly assessed the effect of actual defensive uses of guns (i.e., incidents in which a gun was 'used' by the crime victim in the sense of attacking or threatening an offender) have found consistently lower injury rates among gun-using crime victims compared with victims who used other self-protective strategies. ... Almost all national survey estimates indicate that defensive gun uses by victims are at least as common as offensive uses by criminals, with estimates of annual uses ranging from about 500,000 to more than 3 million per year, in the context of about 300,000 violent crimes involving firearms in 2008." sincerly

[@tanderson596]

As a Brit, it seems awfully confusing as to why the Americans can't sort out this issue of basic common sense.

[@netwolfe]

+tanderson596 Well it starts with back when our country was first created. We created a document called the U.S Constitution, which for simplified purposes is basically a guideline and blueprint of how our government and laws are supposed to work. A short time later we added some amendment to the U.S Constitution. The Second Amendment included "the right to bear arms" meaning people are allowed to own weapons. The Second Amendment was added (according to my web searching) in 1791 A.D. Now people in the U.S.A have been pointing at "the right to bear arms" in The Second Amendment believing that this means that they should be allowed to own any and all weapons. I however am someone realizes that when the Second Amendment was first written the most advanced weapon we had was the musket rifle. A gun that fired once and took a while to reload. So I personally think that the right to bear arms may need to be updated to reflect the advancement of technology. But I think there are a lot of people who disagree with that idea. And now I am going to share actual conversation had. There are some guns I have mix feelings about. But I have always had strong feelings about assault rifles. Assault rifles are not use for hunting. They are type of weapon that person would be carrying around for self-defense. They are a weapon of war, and nothing else. So I have always felt that civilians should not be allowed to own assault rifles. When I share this opinions with someone there response was to effect (I cannot remember exact words), “Wouldn’t that be scary? If the military is the only ones that have these weapons what would stop the military from taking us over? How could we defend ourselves if the military attacks us?” Something to that effect. Yes, the person I was talking to seemed to have a paranoid fear the entire military may one day go rouge and try to take over the country. And this person seemed to believe the only way to prevent this scenario is for civilians to have access and be able to own the same types of weapons the military uses. I have no idea if this person is alone in their thinking, or if their other people that agrees with them. I just remembered being shocked and surprised by this response. I hope this was able to provide you with some insight on the matter.

[@tanderson596]

What if you have a good guy with a gun...with BAD aim?

[@penttikoivuniemi2146]

That's really the most likely case... First, the good guy, remembering they have a gun, will prioritize it over any and all other action, not dependent of context, probably getting shot in the process. Next, they will struggle to get it out of the holster in a panic, probably getting shot in the process. Then they will wildly spray bullets everywhere and be as much of a danger to all the other civilians as the shooter, probably getting shot in the process. Finally, they will be holding a smoking gun when the police appear, probably getting shot in the process. I'm not against private ownership of guns or any other small arms (I actually own a ton of weapons myself for martial arts reasons), but I'm a massive advocate of background checks, mandatory training, and the like. I actually think something like this crisis training might be a good thing to make mandatory for all who want to own small handguns for self-defense, just to show them the naivety of the idea that having a gun is enough to stop an attacker.

[@spaky1954]

The get good XD

[@sgtvirus6696]

Pentti Koivuniemi it is enough to stop an attacker especially if the Good Guys trained so if the shooters aiming on the right and the good guy with the gun is on the left you think the shooter's going to have enough time to turn to the good guy with the gun and shoot the good guy before the good guy can pull the trigger not a chance.

Anyone who does not fear guns is not a responsible gun owner.

If you think you are a responsible gun owner, then the chances are you are not. Real responsible gun owners always treat their guns like a deadly weapon AT ALL TIMES, never as a toy or a tool or allow themselves to get too comfortable with guns. The irony of course is that the most qualified people to own a gun are not the gun advocates.

[@TonecrafteLuthiery]

*****​ This conversation is completely arbitrary lol. I concede, if he was actually granted a concealed carry permit, he probably did take the tests. However, the training he recieved for active shooter situations aren't actually in the training guidelines in Florida. But let's come to an understand here. Would you grant that it is too easy to get a concealed carry permit? That it should require more training to legally be allowed to carry a firearm in public? Just so you have an idea of how little training concealed carry licensees recieve in Flordia, I'll list the training criteria. The state of Florida only mandates 2.5 total hours of training split between gun safety courses, range time and all classroom testing. Only 2 and a half hours to get a concealed carry license that is valid in 34 states, and it only costs $65 dollars. There are people who may decide that they want to stop a shop lifter by shooting them in the head. There are people who will drink a bit to much and get into a common fist fight, the vast majority of which normally end in very minor cuts and scrapes, and because he or she has a gun he may say that "he feared for his life" and shoot a man in a chest who did not pose an actual threat to his life. There are people who will leave their gun on the table after greasing the barrel, walk away for just a moment to get a glass of water, and not notice their child playing with their accidentally loaded gun until it is too late. I am not anti-gun. I actually like guns myself, I think going to the shooting range is fun and like president Obama, I fully support the 4 billion dollar program he proposed to encourage safe gun ownership. I do however think that it should be harder to get a gun in this country. This is not to say that I don't think that everyone who wants a gun should have to oppritunity to have them. I just want those people who do want a gun to be trained in exactly how to handle a gun, exactly how to store it so that children will never touch it, I want them to know exactly when it is appropriate to use a gun and more importantly, when it is not. There are so many shootings in this country because people get into a common fist fight and end up shooting their adversary because they do not realize that there is no immediate life threatening danger. I want people to know that even the biggest, most accredited gun training organizations in the country say that in an active shooter event hiding and escaping are the FIRST option, and shooting the attacker is the last. The reason is obvious, police will probably mistake you as the shooter, and when confronted by the shooter if you begin firing without proper training you could very well catch civilians in the cross fire. Can we at least agree that 2.5 hours of training should not be enough to conceal a weapon in 34 states? I think you are a reasonable enough person to agree with me there.

Gun owners don't want to fight. .. They definitely don't want to have to shoot someone because it's not fun or cool or anything like that, they then have to go to trail and be in jail while they wait unless they got bail money they lose the gun used because it becomes evidence. ..

Kinda interesting how having a gun in that simulated school shooting event lead to him being not only being shot by the shooter but also lead him to shooting an unarmed person and also being shot down by the police.

[@intune6698]

@Santiago Colla, so how much training and money does a regular, average gun owner need to do and spend to be a successful hero in stopping any mass shootings/ terrorist attacks he/she might be involved in?

[@intune6698]

@Santiago Colla, I agree. So, with that l don't think the solution should be for all of us to have a gun to keep us safer. Those that continue a life long commitment of training should be the ones that should have guns. The chances of a good guy with a gun with lots of training will be higher in stopping a mass shooting compare to a regular gun owner w/o much training. And, unfortunately, most legal gun owners don't want to commit to a life where they are constantly being trained to be safe in a shoot out or mass shooting.

[@intune6698]

@Santiago Colla, I am for the 2nd Amendment as well. But, we do need "common sense gun regulations" to keep criminals and mentally sick individuals from getting guns. For example, in a lot of states a 18 year old can purchase a gun from a private dealer from their house, in a gun show or online w/o a background check. Federal law only requires background checks for individuals purchasing guns from licenses gun dealers. I understand people want guns to stay safe, but to not have training or any background checks due to this "gun show loophole", is insane! Criminals/ mentally ill individuals can easily purchase gun this way w/o any checks on them. We could still have "safer gun reform improvements" without taking away our 2nd Amendment rights, is all I am suggesting.

People should only have guns if they are able to complete a hostage situation like they simulated in the right way. If they fail it, go back to training until you pass the test. Yes, 90% would fail and many wouldn't bother to get a gun anymore. But I prefer a tool that can kill a person with bending your finger only to be in the hands of a person that has proven that he/she knows how to handle this equipment the right way and is clear headed enough, too. We only let people drive tons of steel on the street called cars after they have proven to be able to drive and follow the rules, so why not the same with much more dangerous hardware?

[@TahaAlZadjali]

the only problem is that you would end up training those crazy assholes to kill people more efficiently

[@MrJH101]

No just no. I understand your hypothetical plan has the best of intentions and I respect that, but saving hostages or stopping crimes in progress is not why people have a concealed carry weapon on them in the first place. Hostage rescuing is a job that's best left to the professionals, and 99.9% of the people who carry a gun know that. Anyone who's permitted to have a concealed carry firearm isn't going to use it to seek out and stop criminals, nor should they be expected to. They carry it to protect their own life or the ones they love and they only draw it if they believe they absolutely have to. Some people do make mistakes and it can be a deeply, unfortunate tragedy if they do. That is, however, why I believe more training should be required and that thorough background checks are always needed. That being said, that doesn't mean you should expect every "good person" with a gun to try and be a "hero" because that's not why people choose to carry. Most realistic situations where you might find yourself at gun point were easily avoidable if you were being cautious in the first place. It's always going to be your job (and your job alone) to avoid these situations if you possibly could have. However, you shouldn't just expect someone you don't even know to put themselves in a life threatening position just because you're already in one. Granted, they most likely will help you out if they're present, but understand that they have families who care about them too. So why should this man or woman be obligated to help you out if they might get killed too? If you're asking them to save you just because you've found yourself as a hostage, then that's an extremely dangerous position you're asking them to put themselves in. It's also another ridiculously far fetched situation that the news likes to portray. Even the cops themselves would just call for backup rather than trying to engage it on their own.

[@DatGrunt]

Lmao you seriously think people NEED to go through classes and courses to drive a car? They can buy one off a private seller and not show any kind of documentation and go drive a car. By your logic, 99.99% of all law enforcement wouldn't be allowed to carry guns either. Hell 99.99% of the military as well. Not being able to not complete a hostage situation doesn't mean you're not capable of having a firearm. The two don't even connect. It's like saying only people that can drive through an insane, almost unbeatable obstacle course should be allowed to drive. Even after having all those regulations with vehicles, more people die from them than they do guns. And guns are a right. Driving a car isn't.

[@TahaAlZadjali]

FollowMeInfantry maybe because the drive more often then shot each other

[@DatGrunt]

Or maybe because all that bullshit people think they have to go through doesn't make them any safer or make them safer drivers? There's people who shoot more often and for longer than they drive and nothing ever happens. It's only when people are scared of guns and don't treat them with respect, or when parents listen to the bullshit media and alienate their kids from guns that accidents start to happen. Maybe instead of adding more bullshit regulations or calling for bans (like Obama and Hillary want with semi automatic weapons. And they HAVE called for them) we should fund classes that teach gun safety? Guns are never going to go away. Not even "assault weapons". It's time retards understood this.

[@pspicer777]

[@NerveEnd]

The problem is, that some percentage of the people with carrying permits will always end up committing a crime themselves, having a firearm related accident, enticing the perpetrator to shoot by trying to stop the crime or enabling someone without a permit to gaining access to the legal firearm. "Good guys with guns" would actually prevent gun violence, if there was a reasonably well established way to determine the part of the population who: 1) Would never use the gun to commit a crime 2) Would never enable someone without a permit to gain access to their gun 3) Would commit to a vigorous training routine 4) Would agree to endanger themselves for the safety of others Oh wait... that actually sounds a lot like this thing called the law enforcement! Agreed, there will always be corruption, but if vigilante law enforcement actually worked, the romanticization of the wild west should've looked liked the safest era of human history. It's weird that everyone can see the obvious flaws of the system via fiction, but fail to apply the same logic into reality.

[@JFrazer4303]

US DoJ numbers show that people with concealed carry permits are among the best most law-abiding of any segment of the population. Better than politicians, judges, or police officers, and that civilians who use guns in defense are less than 20% as likely as police to use them wrongly or cause undue harm. In short, you're full of it. Law enforcement has no legal Constitutional requirement to protect citizens even if they can and they just sit and watch. It's been established by courts at every level and all across the country. If you or I might take the chances and go in and try to help, that just shows that we're better than cops with qualified immunity and no duty to protect. Look up Jeanne Assam, Joel Myrick, Stephen Willeford. Look up the recent story hardly carried by any news, about a citizen with a pistol shooting back at and stopping a nut firing a rifle at a birthday party. Charleston WVa “Instead of running from the threat, she engaged with the threat and saved several lives last night,” Chief of Detectives Tony Hazelett told news outlets Thursday. BTW, the " Wild West" had fewer law enforcement per capita, more guns per capita, less crime per capita than today. I already said you're full of it.

What Jordan Klepper is saying is so true. I have a concealed carry license from Texas.I dont know a thing about guns, how to loads them, types of guns etc etc. I never had a gun, and never will. Basically it was a "party" (kind of) that I was invited to, only it was in a gun range, and we did not drink. They taught us how to load and shoot, they divided us into groups, and I was in the novice group. But that was probably 15 minutes. I dont remember how to load or shoot. They are supposed to lecture for a certain number of hours, they tried to make it as amusing as they could, and in the end they gave us the answers to the questions on the "test" asked by the State. So I can now buy (I wont, but can) a gun, conceal and carry it. I guess, down here, my 2A right trumps your right to live. I mean, Texas would probably argue that had the framers of the constitution thought the right to life is important, they would have put it in the first amendment, rather than in the preamble; and SCOTUS would agree.
