RE: An unarmed person will use the reason first
To clarify my experience is in the US where Madonna hails from and not in your nation. This is just my view from here as I am not not the ground in your country.
Honestly you can view it anyway you wish. As a gun owner and supporter of "all to keep and bear arms", so you know my stance. Firstly, you have to examine the statistics that you are viewing. These deaths include suicides (which most likely would be done with another method) and justified homicides such as those that are a result of a police incident. What they don't state are two main points. For the amount of firearms owned by citizens in the US and its vast size our gun deaths are fairly low. Additionally, there is no metric that shows how many lives private gun ownership has saved. If someone tries to hurt or rob you and you pull a gun and the person runs you may have just stopped a murder. Often when those shootings that are so publicized and pushed by media happen ypu never hear about (or hear much less) when a gun owner takes doen someone with evil intent. There are bad people everywhere and if you don't think that a knife wielding attacker can kill you faster (actually proven fact) than one with a gun you are wrong. Now here's the best part Madonna is talking about gun control but won't leave her home without private security. Bet she doesn't care that I dont have a security team so when someone attacks me because of say my watch or wallet I can't do what she will. She will be shielded and then the attacker either subdued or killed by her security. I am my family and my owns protection. Just my view and everyone's willing to have one. Is worth noting that private gun ownership does weight into other countries invading nations as well and governments harming citizens. Just saying. Thanks for the view and have a good one.
