I don’t advocate for reddit (I don’t like it) but /r/DGU collects news articles of Defensive Gun Use, so if you feel the need to read about people fending off robbers, murderers, and rapists, you can do so there.

    Do they also collect stories of rivers, murders and rapists using guns against others? Which happens a fuck ton more often than the inverse?

    I'm pointing out the imbalance in their uses, buddy

    Holy shit, do I need to draw a map for you?

    A group dedicated to trying to make guns seem like a force for good that only does so by ignoring the 99% of the time they're used for bad...is lying.

    Speaking of imbalance, in the USA, Black and American Indian and Alaska Native (AIAN) people have the highest firearm mortality rates of any racial or ethnic group. The U.S. also ranks at the 92nd percentile of all countries and territories for child and teen firearm mortality.
