The tweet suggests that guns are not an EFFECTIVE MEANS OF SELF DEFENSE. It does not, in any way, suggest that gun owners are bad, simply that those who beat the drum for guns may be misinformed.

Not shocking stuff.

I really hope you get the chance to fight a tyrannical - MrBlueSky MU - 2/27 12:46:31

childish (nm) - 90Tiger MU - 2/27 13:04:39

I'd say, like most things, it's an individual issue and like - 90Tiger MU - 2/27 12:26:35

Individuals don't accidently kill themselves at home? - MrBlueSky MU - 2/27 12:37:58

sure, but it's just not with guns (nm) - Sal KC - 2/27 12:56:37

So what? Stupid people kill themselves or others all - TigerMatt STL - 2/27 12:41:10

that is not a fact (nm) - Sal KC - 2/27 12:26:13

It absolutely is (nm) - MrBlueSky MU - 2/27 12:37:16

Not a fact - Roberts MU - 2/27 12:24:58

False claim - Spanky KU - 2/27 12:15:28

My rates never went up because of - Sal KC - 2/27 12:08:24

You're apparently a police officer - MrBlueSky MU - 2/27 12:16:34

I owned guns before I became a cop - Sal KC - 2/27 12:19:28

Rates don't go up. - Evenflow MU - 2/27 12:18:34

Yes, if you want to claim them as "insured property" - Mormad MU - 2/27 12:20:26

Most aren't valuable ebough to carry an individual rider - tman KC - 2/27 12:26:41

Right, but if you get enough of them - Mormad MU - 2/27 12:27:38

True, but he speaking for the general public - tman KC - 2/27 12:29:15

Someone steals that and they're likely to - Mormad MU - 2/27 12:31:06

Possibly(nm) - tman KC - 2/27 13:20:01

It would really take a large gun collection (nm) - Sal KC - 2/27 12:27:32

The more property you claim for insurance the more costs - TigerMatt STL - 2/27 12:07:08

Correct, there are certain limits - Sal KC - 2/27 12:09:03

Oh, you think theyre only talking about Homeowners? - Badird MU - 2/27 12:08:53

I have a $300K umbrella policy and was asked nothing about - TigerMatt STL - 2/27 12:19:55

That article doesn't do - Sal KC - 2/27 12:12:28

The take home was that homicide rates go up for gun owners - Badird MU - 2/27 12:14:59

My insurance company never asked if I own and they - Civil-E-Tiger MU - 2/27 12:18:36

Who cares what insurance companies acknowledge? - ummmm MU - 2/27 12:16:59

Youre failing to grasp a few things.... - Badird MU - 2/27 12:19:08

Tell that to the 67,740 times a year it is used for self - TigerMatt STL - 2/27 12:24:58

What is a better means of self defense - Sal KC - 2/27 12:26:00

But apparently other people misuse their guns at times - ummmm MU - 2/27 12:29:17

What a straw man. - Badird MU - 2/27 12:33:12

It's not a straw man - Sal KC - 2/27 12:58:59

Your position is that it unwise to have a gun for self - ummmm MU - 2/27 12:36:08

Or have both ADT and guns.(nm) - TigerMatt STL - 2/27 12:35:13

It's a false premise - Sal KC - 2/27 12:23:01

But guns have been, can be, and will continue to be an - ummmm MU - 2/27 12:22:21

As an aggregate, they are not. - Badird MU - 2/27 12:25:41

I'm not worried about people who accidentally shoot - TigerMatt STL - 2/27 12:34:09

Again, you are failing to grasp the point. - ummmm MU - 2/27 12:27:42

Im not saying we should change anything. - Badird MU - 2/27 12:31:27

The whole doesn't matter. No one who supports gun rights - ummmm MU - 2/27 12:34:28

Is your point to argue that simple fact? - Badird MU - 2/27 12:37:54

My point should be fairly clear by now: - ummmm MU - 2/27 12:40:10

I dont disagree. - Badird MU - 2/27 12:43:20

That's your grand point here? - ummmm MU - 2/27 12:51:25

Have I not made that clear this whole time? - Badird MU - 2/27 12:54:42

Such a collectivist viewpoint. (nm) - ummmm MU - 2/27 12:06:25
