Will it help my wife’s best friend who was shot in the stomach six times by her husband when she got up in the middle of the night to eat something in the kitchen?

Let me introduce you to a revolutionary view about gun violence.

It is called reality with gems like, “96% of murder-suicide victims are female.”

Not now, unfortunately while they can produce light so you don’t shoot your wife six times, they sadly lack the ability to alter the space time continuum and change the past, sorry to disappoint. You have to use the flashlight before you shoot the wrong person, the flashlight can’t unshoot someone.

Btw you do know that just because some people kill their wives that doesn’t mean everyone will, right? You worried your wife is the next Jody Arias? No? See it works much the same way here, not every man is going to be Chris Benoit. That’s like that racist “13% of the population 50% of the crime,” it doesn’t mean all black people are criminals, nor does your stat mean “all men” or even “all gunowners” are wifemurderers.

Just because every abuser with a gun abuses their wife doesn’t mean that everyone is an abuser? Well no shit Sherlock.

Now are you going to tell that to the million women who get raped at gun point? Or the four million every year that are threatened by guns!?

No, you are going to make tone deaf jokes about getting a flashlight for your gun so you can see the look on your wife’s face before you pull the trigger.

Well if they’ve been convicted of DV they’re federally barred from firearms ownership, so they shouldn’t have guns. I also doubt your assertion that everyone who abuses their wives and has guns shoots their wives, or there’d be like 40% more dead cop-wives, for instance.

Tell them what? That not every rapist has a gun, not every man is a rapist, and not every gun owner is necessarily a rapist or even a man (did you know they let women buy guns these dsys? Wild I know.) Sure, put em on the phone I’ll tell them (oh and btw I’m also a rape victim, twice!)

More like “you were spouting silly bullshit so I sardonically replied, as one does.” Something is wrong with your thought process that you think “make sure to positively identify your target so you don’t accidentally shoot someone innocent” means “look your wife in the eyes as you purposefully kill her,” I don’t think you should have guns, you seem disturbed.

You are just another gun apologist doing his thing. Must be great to ignore all the suffering because “guns are toys boys”.

It is clear people like you can’t be trusted with a butter knife let alone and actual weapon. You scoff at a million women raped by gun point like it ain’t no big deal.

You can tell them your sorry. In fact we will line them up one at a time and you can let each one know it wasn’t the gun that did it. By the time you tell them all there will be millions more raped.

You can’t apologize to dead ones though so perhaps you can look their kids in the eyes and tell them it wasn’t the gun that killed your mother.

You doubt my assertion? I doubt you care about actual researched papers or facts. I doubt there is anything anyone could say to change your mind because you will refuse to believe it.

It is pretty rich you call me disturbed when everything I said was factual including a very personal experience. I am sorry you feel threatened by the fact that women are disproportionately abused and murdered by the thing you view as a toy.

I live in Alaska where real men have guns as tools not toys so I look at you like you are particularly pathetic. The fact that you fantasize about identifying your target before you kill them says all about your fucked up wanna-be military mindset.
