[QUOTE="(° ͡ ͜ ͡ʖ ͡ °) (ᵔᴥᵔʋ), post: 73656051, member: 381423"] And of the 25%, how many of those deaths were as a result of a firearm being used in self defense, home invasion, or an officer firing the weapon in the line of duty? I think killing the bad guy would be a good thing. However, your argument seems to imply that it is negative. Furthermore, since this is a Christian forum, I would be remissed if I did not include the biblical passage in which Jesus himself commanded his apostles to buy a sword to use for self defense. Contextually, this would apply to any weapon for self defense to include firearms. [B]"He said to them, “But now if you have a purse, take it, and also a bag; and if you don’t have a sword, sell your cloak and buy one. 37 It is written: ‘And he was numbered with the transgressors’ and I tell you that this must be fulfilled in me. Yes, what is written about me is reaching its fulfillment.” 38 The disciples said, “See, Lord, here are two swords.” “That’s enough!” he replied. (Luke 33:36-38) [/B] Edit: In regards to this: I think that this is exactly the reason why I want a gun. Why would I settle for a knife for home defense if it would statistically only give me a 0.7% of killing the guy when I can have a hand gun that would give me a 25% chance of killing the guy. Furthermore, the odds will be less in my favor if the guy breaking into my home had a gun and I only had a knife. Hence, "never take a knife to a gun fight." [/QUOTE]
