25. Easy; He's right, you're wrong

I prefer to call out stupidity when I see it.

According to the CDC there are far more defensive gun uses than murders every year.

So the odds that his PSD will save his life or someone in his family are far better than the odd idea that he'll randomly shoot a complete stranger or you.

Now, try not to sound so clueless next time you want to rant about evil guns and gun owners in the gun group.
