Yep...analogies are not their strong suit. Fortunately, this is very easy to spot. There is a good reason they appear on every IQ test.

The second question is for those who have never owned a gun and do not plan today. Have you ever been in a situation where you think a gun would have made the situation better.

HAVE NO GUN. NOT AFRAID. Simple as that.

And you call Ralph dumb.

Why do immigrants keep wanting to come to a place run by Hitler?

Why would you want to allow them into such a place? You should be shooing them away until Hitler is gone, at least.

Hitler would toast em before they stepped across the border. and Soro's would be picking their teeth clean.

President trump, being the stable genius he is will have a damn good plan.
But he may not warn them what it is.

That not exactly accurate. Soros would be encouraging them to come despite what Hitler was doing to them so he would have more teeth to pick clean.

Soros is almost certainly a legitimate sociopath. I'd be willing to bet that if he was examined by an impartial panel they would conclude that he's mentally ill. The only reason he hasn't been locked up is that he gives billions of dollars to left wing causes.

All three of those questions are included on BATF's Form 4473 which must be submitted for the instant background check. The first and last questions could be easily verified if the agency was competent; the one regarding mental health, not so much. Mainly because groups on your side, like the ACLU, would consider it a violation of privacy. And it's the one that is probably the most important, given what we know about mass murderers.

Also, congratulations on being so fortunate that you've never felt the need to own a firearm for self defense. Alas, there are thousands upon thousands of citizens not so lucky.

There are so many examples that the NRA has made it easy for you to search by date or state. And you don't have to take the NRA's word for it. All examples provide links to the original media reports of the incidents so you can verify them.

Great post. How anyone with any sense can look through that link and not “get it” is beyond me

It's hard to collect accurate data on crime prevention because assuming a criminal knows someone is likely to be armed, he may be less likely to even consider robbing them. There is no way to collect data on something like that.

The whole thing is a kind of a catch 22.

The more guns there are out there, the greater the probability of someone intent on crime or with mental health issues having one and commiting a crime.

Also true is that law abiding citizens with guns are more likely to be able to protect themselves and discourage criminals.

Personally, I suspect that if we had full data and it was examined impartially, it would show we'd be better off with fewer guns.

However, I distrust modern liberals so much that a fully armed population may be a requirement due to the possibility that these deranged idiots might get full power some day and if all out riots were to break out or there was a war on our shores law abiding rational people would have to defend themselves.
