    guns make you safe

    my ex tried to kill herself with pills, i think if we had a gun she would have succeeded. i think every person i have known to die of gun wounds were self inflicted

      I’m worried you know enough people to make a statistically significant conclusion.

      Prior art confirms: overwhelmingly, the gun you are shot with will be your own. Next is one weilded by someone well-known to you.

        i didn’t claim to give statistically significant conclusion, my statement was clearly anecdotal, so you can take it as such without being misleading
