Are you really going to go with this angle? Do you really want people posting video of the Pulse night club shooting where someone used legally obtained firearms to kill 50 people? The largest domestic terrorist attack since 9/11. There are hundreds of other such cases. If you want to have a debate over the Second Amendment, we can do it... but this isn’t the way to do it.
Debate? I’m simply posting a video of two women who used it to save there lives and the lives of there children. I’m shocked anyone would want to debate this. Of course they would not have had the ability to defend themselves if not for the 2nd amendment, so thank you 2nd amendment!
Did everyone have to buy their guns again after communist Obama seized every gun of every citizen? Speaking of glorious commies, how is Putin? I saw him with diego maradona Yesterday (on tv). Nobody wants to take your guns away. If you love the constitution, you have to respect the 1st and the second. BELIEVE ME, I know the constitution backward and forwards, all articles, all 27 articles.
Its great when the good guy wins and the bad guy gets what they deserve. Bragging about it, not so much.
Anecdotes are about as useful as used toilet paper. It would be nice if we had a government that would actually allow us to study guns and formulate laws to best increase positive outcomes.
What happened to you that made you so passive aggressive and antagonistic? Are you like this in real life? Too many posters come in here with the intention of aggravating people. Even y'all's avatars are aggravating. Maybe it's just me. But, then again, you just posted something in the Debate and Discussion forum that you don't think is worth debating or discussing. The second amendment is important to you, why disrespect it with a thread like this? What's wrong with you?
Why didn't the chick shoot the ******* in the first video? Do society a favor and get rid of that animal.
These incidents happen all the time. Show a gun and no bullets fly. they make everyone safer. No debate on the second amendment because it's already been affirmed as an individual right. soon get some sweet decisions striking down semi auto bans. He will get a day in court which will be a bad day when the jury sees the video and the judge hears the victim statement.

We really don't know this, and thanks to the NRA and our soggy ass Congress, we may never know. Pulling out your gun and Dirty Harrying someone you are in a spat with into submission is the conservative wet dream. Until that person also has a gun, then they will undoubtedly pull theirs out since their life was threatened. Bang bang. People dead for no good reason. Sad face. There's a reason they teach de-escalation. You don't show a gun unless you intend to use it.
The CDC has studied gun violence plenty and is still allowed to do so. They studied how many defensive uses per year in the 90's. They are simply not allowed to use research funds that "advocate or promote gun control." You are free to do the research. Independence USA PAC, Americans for Responsible Solutions, Everytown for Gun Safety have stepped right in where the CDC left off in advocacy research. Their budgets have been much higher than the CDC was ever allocated for this task. As you can clearly see in the video, a gun stopped violence. It wasn't a spat, it was man viciously punching a woman in the face and the situation was stopped and deescalated by another woman with a gun. Much like the question of what the second amendment means, the argument over carrying a handgun for self defense is dead. States overwhelmingly support this right. Advocacy groups have shifted from even trying to attack it.
Intersectionality at its very best and such a great example of why the #walkaway movement is happening. In one sentence you imply right and wrong based on levels of socially perceived oppression and skin color. You opened the door and threw the race card right into the middle of the room when there is zero evidence that racism was a variable. How about this headline, A woman uses a gun to defend herself and her colleague from a very bad and evil man who was in the process of hurting them and would have possibly killed them both had she not had a gun.
So you would use one families carelessness with a gun as a reason to remove it from either of those women’s hands who successfully used it to defend themselves, their colleagues and their families? Gotcha down. While your at it you are also in favor of banning swimming pools, cars, and everything else on this planet that has been an accessory to an accidental death based on human ignorance or stupidity. Once we’ve finished banning all of the stuff you want banned we will be left with nothing, not even a belt to hold up our pants if we haven’t banned those as well.
She needs some training on handling a firearm safely -- nonetheless an excellent example from twitter user PhD MBA of guns creating a safer, more peaceful world.
