I heard about that. As I get older I collect more doctors, I've got

What is about self protection and defending your own that scares you?

Are you too much of a coward to defend yourself and family and think
someone else will do it for you?

You bring your pitchfork to the fight...

If you are going to preach, at least get your numbers right
12,000 is bullshit

The FBI says there were 8,124 gun murders in 2014, the last year with
data. That is down from 8,454 in 2013.
Stop listening to Rachel Madcow for your information and look at the
FBI UCR.

BTW during the 2013 and 2014 years we added 42 million new guns to
private ownership (again the FBI)

+ 1 The guy that puts that data together, Guy Smith is actually a
Libertarian.

Here are some other numbers.

"NEW YORK – More than 50,000 Americans died from drug overdoses last
year, the most ever.

The disastrous tally has been pushed to new heights by soaring abuse
of heroin and prescription painkillers, a class of drugs known as
opioids.

Heroin deaths rose 23 percent in one year, to 12,989, slightly higher
than the number of gun homicides, according to government data
released Thursday.

<http://www.foxnews.com/health/2016/12/09/grim-tally-soars-more-than-50k-overdose-deaths-in-us.html>

And.

CHICAGO – Accidental overdoses aren't the only deadly risk from using
power prescription painkillers. A new study says the drugs may also
contribute to heart-related deaths and other fatalities.

The study involved patients given prescription medicines for chronic
pain, including persistent backaches and arthritis. Outcomes for
patients on other types of painkillers were compared with those on
long-acting opioids including controlled-release oxycodone, methadone
and fentanyl skin patches.

You should know where 12,000 comes from. The FBI says "firearms, all
types, is more like 8,200 (8,454 in 2013, 8,124 in 2014)
The total number of homicides was 12,253 in 2013 and 11,961 in 2014.
That is all weapons, including around 1500 stabbings around 700 bare
hand beatings and a handful of other methods.

I don't mind people saying we have too many murders but they don't
need to lie about it. They should also point out how many are gang
related.

Gun "homicides" also include suicide. If a person is determined and
has made up their mind, you can't stop them.

Hammers, clubs, bats, knives, etc., are used more often than guns to
commit murder.

What some don't get is killing a person is legal and authorized by
law.

Not in the "12,000" number. Suicide is how they get up to 34,000 or
whatever other BS number you see.

Not really. I gave you the numbers.

You are correct that does get lumped into "homicides" but the number
for 2014 was 444 (justifiable homicide)

Absolutely. The NCIS has done over 250,000,000 gun checks since 1998
and 24,000,000 this year

Oren laid this down on his screen :
If you are talking about defense of self or others it is not legal per
se, but it is a legal defense in a court of law. If it were truly
legal, they couldn't arrest you for it. Even the police can be tried in
a court of law.

Muggles once said a similar thing about resisting arrest. It is not
legal to do so, but if you do do so, there are legal defenses which can
be successfully applied if the circumstances are right.

However the CDC says there were 10,945 firearm homicides in 2015

http://www.romans322.com/daily-death-rate-statistics.php says that in
2016, there were 11,226 gun homicides as of 22 Dec

I think I will believe a web site from "FBI.GOV" not Romans.com

That is going to be a pretty low number. Gangs kill most of the
murdered people and few of their guns are legally purchased because
they are generally ineligible to buy a gun (age, criminal record, out
of state etc)

Use of deadly force is written into laws, justified homicide also.
Authorized for police and civilians. I'm talking about a legal killin'
under the law.
