    Of course I’m not going to give any weight to an obvious propaganda site… ROFL

    I mean did you even look at the “supported organizations” it reads like a who’s who of extreme gun nuts.

      Do you dispute that they are quoting FBI data? I’m not trying to be deceptive, I was looking for an overview that reflects the facts that have been presented in every safety class I’ve taken. I found similar numbers in other articles, that one just had the best formatting for presenting the same information.

      Also, do you see what I mean when I say that your statistic of .09% is not accurately reflecting if a gun is an effective self defense method?

        I dispute everything from propaganda sites, it’s not worth my time to track down their BS and figure out whether they out right lied, took a quote out of context, intentionally misrepresented it, twisted its intended meaning, or cherry picked a single fact out of a hundred that seems to support their claim.

        Nah, if you want to believe that to support your misguided belief that’s on you.

          I’ll dive for the direct FBI data when I have time after work today and put it here when I find it.

          I am willing to have my mind changed if compelling information is presented. Did you have anything to say about your own misleading .09% statistic?

            Yes, first it’s not misleading, it is a fact from a reputable unbiased site and properly sourced.

            Second, I’m done wasting time on you, it’s pretty clear you’ll continue to do anything possible to ignore the truth because it impacts your desire to carry a deadly weapon around to satisfy your insecurities.

            Good day.
