I'm not sure which is more insulting [View all]

On one hand...

...there is the assumption by many pro-control folks that a gun purchased for self-defense will almost never be used for that purpose.


OTOH...
...there is the assumption that, if guns banned altogether, most or all of those wounded or killed by a gun today (including suicides) would be unscathed.


So, for you, if you're pro-gun, which is more insulting?
