I don’t know about you, but I have grown increasingly sick of listening to liberals seeking to ban firearms misquote vague statistics that are peddled by organizations seeking to ban firearms. The usual mantra is that “guns are the leading cause of death for children in the US.” This morning, I stumbled upon this idiotic post on X: “Thousands of babies dying by gun violence every year.”
I always respond to this fake statistic with "the number one killer of children in the US is abortion." I don't really have a strong stance on abortion, but this reply gets the libs foaming at the mouth.
Not only does the fake statistic misdefine children, excluding all children under the age of 1 y/o and including 18-19 year old adults, it lumps disparate causes of death (homicide, suicide, and accident) into one catchall "gun death". I have no time to debate people who lie and deliberately misuse statistics.
good points. Now can we get anyone from the AAP to debate publicly? nope, betcha they'll pull a Kamela and hide.
in each issue of USCCA magazine is (among other things of course) a page or two of true stories of self-defense, short, quite bare of details but verified (sources named). Guns SAVE lives; often one only needs to mention a gun, or act as if drawing, to send an attacker running.

There is no such thing as "gun violence". People violence is the issue that the left does not want to concede.
