What I'd really like to see someone report on (the MSM won't do it, I'm sure the government won't do it - but maybe the NRA or the like would) is crunch some numbers and model: A) if we were to ban all guns, how many lives do we think it would save? and more importantly: B if we were to take all guns away from legal gun owners, how many lives would it COST due to them being unable to defend themselves? My suspicion is that B would be greater than A. Particularly if we were fair and pulled suicides and self defense killings out of A. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barry Sloe Posted May 27, 2022 Share Posted May 27, 2022 The numbers games can be made/bent to match any ideal that you want. You really need to filter information as you get it. BS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You really need to filter information as you get it. BS The problem is that information can also be bent, which is the point of my post. We've all heard about the Texas school shooting 1000 times (not that we shouldn't have). But NOBODY (for all intents and purposes) has heard about the story I posted even ONCE. How can you "filter information as you get it" if you're only provided partial information? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rye Miles #13621 Posted May 28, 2022 Share Posted May 28, 2022 There’s no doubt countless times that brandishing a weapon alone defeats the threat and most times they do not get reported. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wallaby Jack, SASS #44062 Posted May 28, 2022 Share Posted May 28, 2022 ..... if the msm did actually cover the story, this brave Lady would probably be painted as some kind of evil vigilante waiting for just this type of situation so she could kill someone ......

By the time they got done, it would read like she stalked him, set him up and ambushed him for the sheer joy of killing. Not to mention that by the time they were done, there'd be riots nationwide and she'd be in hiding due to being doxed and all the death threats.

Smokin Gator SASS #29736 Posted May 28, 2022 Share Posted May 28, 2022 I sent an email to our local tv station with info about this incident. I asked if we would see major coverage on their broadcast and if not, why not. I sent a follow-up, still no response. I emailed back and forth just a couple of times previously with their lead anchor. He finally said he was to busy to continue. How busy can a local news reader be? It's not like he has ever done any investigative reporting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
