I never understand why everyone gets so upset about issues like this unless you actually live in Georgia. I say let Georgia have no gun laws if that's what the population wants. Then in 5-10 years the rest of the states can see what that sort of policy causes. Kind of like whats going on in Colorado with pot. 5 years from now the rest of us will see all the pros and cons.
You were alive 200 years ago?
Wow...
Guns are fucking stupid. What happened to go old fashioned fist fights? I get it, shit has changed, but you're just a pussy if you need to shoot someone who tries to rob you. Oh, you both have guns? Congrats, now you both might die.
Canada is so much better when it comes to gun violence. I wish we could just melt every gun and make them all illegal. Only people I know that need to carry guns are official grade a pussies

FTR I've never been to Detroit or Nashville(I will be there next weekend), but I can;t imagine they are any worse than the worst parts of Philly(maybe detroit being the miracle of death city) I just don't see why you think you're gonna get robbed if you don't have a gun. Do you walk around slouching with money falling out of your jacket? Do you wear a shirt that says I am a giant pussy? Nobody is going to rob you. You just do things the smart way. Don't walk around the city late at night alone etc. You really think you need a gun to feel safe? If so, I feel bad, America must really be turning to shit

That's fine, so long as you can build a wall around Georgia and make sure nothing ever gets out. They do get out, tho, obv, and it just makes GA a supplier to the rest of the east coast gun-wise. As it is, dozens of guns used in crimes in my state already come from GA, more than any other state outside New England. (NH and ME run 1 and 2, GA is 3rd even though it's a thousand miles away.)

It was a lot though. Not just like daily.

You are right to question the basis of the study, that is a sign of intelligence. But to do so because it is from Philly? That is a sign of prejudice. The study was done at Penn, one of the top 10 universities in America. You also fail to articulate how "things have changed" in the last 7 years to make any statistical difference.
As a gun owner, I respect our Constitutional right to bear arms. You also have the right to have sex with your sister, be a member of the KKK, and drink your self to death on Jack Daniels. Just because you have a right doesn't always make it prudent to exercise it. Although there are probably people in Georgia who disagree with me on all counts.
The facts are the facts. If you carry a gun in public, you are more likely to get shot. Your John Wayne attitude of "wanting to get a shot off or two before you go down" might make you feel better, but statistically, it doesn't make you safer. I just hope you don't hit some innocent bystander before you go down. If you are trying to protect yourself in your home, that is another matter. Fell free to gun the intruder down.

If you misuse a screwdriver, saw, hammer, knife, nailgun, etc. it can do a ton of damage, so can a firearm. That's the point I was trying to make. I wouldn't give a little kid a shotgun anymore than I would let them play with a scroll saw. A gun is just a tool for punching holes in things at great distances, that someone points it at a person makes it scary, and you attach those feelings to it. I don't. God forbid I bring up the fatalities involved with automobiles. You don't think those are scary, do you?
