14. another desperate attempt
to scare people into thinking guns are eeeevil and cause crime. Out of over 275,000,000 firearms in the U.S. at most 30 will be highlighted in this thread today.
How many newspaper articles do you see where someone was able to succesfully avoid a collision while driving a car?
As another illustration, most car accidents are not reported in the Newspaper. Generally only the most horrific/deadly accidents are reported in the Newspaper. Just because they are not reported does not mean that car accidents do not occur. The same is true for crimes avoided through the lawful use of firearms.
