"There's no evidence...."

Horse shit.

There's evidence that you don't like so you deny it.

And you sure as hell proved my point about your opinions of gun owners, didn't you?

You just can't reconcile the reality of DGU with what you think it should look like based on your caricature of gun owners that your groupthink has created.

If defensive-minded gun owners were really as blood thirsty as you claim there would be 259 justified homicides a week, not a year.

Those that disagree with the Kleck study showing roughly 2 million DGUs a year (in the early 90s) counter with the DoJ survey results of 108,000.

That's still twenty (20) DGUs to one justifiable homicide.

The bloodthirstyness is in your head, in your internal caricature of gun owners that you've created.
