[QUOTE="BrownArmy, post: 2244015, member: 18225"] This is the largest argument by the NRA and others, that 'good' guys with guns stop 'bad' guys with guns. Lord knows we have a hella lot of good guys with guns. However, I'm straining myself to find coverage of said good guys stopping said bad guys in a demonstrably statistical fashion. So, either it isn't happening at a rate that makes any difference vs. actual 'bad' guy gun violence, or it's under-reported. You don't think the 'liberal' media will report such things, but I'll ask you again: these situations seem fairly uncommon (vs. the gun violence this country experiences)...if they were common, then they'd be repeatedly reported on by the 'conservative' media. Yet, here we are. Only 'good' guys with guns can stop 'bad' guys with guns - a perverse argument. This is the internet age - forget the media, if the premise was correct, it would be supported by multiple cases. If the premise was indeed correct, there would be so many instances that neither side of the media could credibly ignore them; or, we would have enough instances on the ground reported through social media that we could discern for ourselves that the premise was correct. But we don't have that. Soooo.... Where am I going wrong? [/QUOTE]
