You’ll note that anti-gun activists will do ANYTHING to avoid discussing defensive gun uses. You see they often tout the 30,000 gun deaths per year (which include justifiable homicides by both Police and private citizens) but they always spin a gun as a tool used by bad people to do bad things. Never will they talk about Police killing a dangerous criminal to protect innocent lives, and under no circumstances will they talk about a private citizen defending their lives from violence.
A gun must ALWAYS be used to TAKE lives, never to SAVE or PROTECT them (Police is a VERY sticky wicket, as we don’t arm our cops so they can murder on public pay…but they can’t say WHY cops carry a sidearm, and often an “Assault Weapon”, branded “Patrol Rifle” to confuse, in their day-to-day of protecting and serving the public). Some will attempt to belittle the numbers, claiming that defensive gun uses are very rare. Still Joan Peterson of the Brady Campaign and the Million Mom March, shows a brief glimmer of honesty.
That’s your gig, not mine. My focus is what you described above. Simply because you don’t or won’t agree that it has any validity doesn’t mean I should change my focus. It’s my blog. I won’t be blogging about defensive use of guns so don’t wait for it.
In other words, she knows it exists, but it doesn’t suit her needs, so its irrelevant to her. I guess she doesn’t care about human life!

Yep. ” If it threatens my ideology it doesn’t exist!” pretty much sums it up.
I reject your reality and substitute my own!!!
The Bradys Love the “gun death” metric because it is the only fact that fits their narrative. They don’t care about justifiable homicide either, because in their “Disney movie” ideoligy any death is a loss to society, regardless of how many crimes and murders the deceased may have committed (which are generally ignored).
