Simon means ‘defend them from the Chinese army’.
Pal, get a shooters licence and buy yourself 2 legal guns. Nobody is stopping you doing that except you.

Meanwhile, China’s one-child policy and gender bias means they have several dozen million surplus military-age, military trained, dispensible males with no parents or siblings.
If you actually think this is a possibility, you should really be crying about the world not producing enough ammunition to allow you to defend your family from that.

Here, fixed it for ya….
“Law abiding citizens didn’t commit crimes”

For the people who think everyone owning a firearm will somehow deter crime, where do you live that crime is more prevalent than the rest of human interactions ?

I think I’d have probably witnessed 100 fights for every street crime I’ve seen. So that might be 1 mugging avoided for how many people carrying a gun who aren’t happy losing a fist fight ?

Also, the military aren’t a big deal cause they have more guns. they’re a big deal cause they have guns, bigger guns, rocket launchers, missile launchers, aircraft carriers, humvees, armored personnel carriers, attack helicopters and of course the great big 18-inch cock of modern warfare, the fighter jet (with unmanned versions ‘case you don’t wanna risk that one guy getting taken out). Not to mention experimental development of technology that will probably yield their own iron man suit within the next decade. Unless, of course, they already have one. So these 600 million gun toting civilians have to ask themselves, ‘are they feeling lucky’?
Oh and what the fuck, I thought it was illegal to own anything stronger than a hackeysack in China!

I didn’t click your australian link. Why? Because I’m australian and quite frankly – this country is shit tier.

If foreign invaders (ie china) get sick of paying for iron ore, I have nothing to defend myself or my family with. The Federal Govt. handed my dead arse to me on cold stainless steel.

You go America!!!! Your country would be the hardest to invade because everyone has a gun hence every citizen is a soldier.

Really? How do you get that number? I live in a jurisdiction that does not require firearm registration. So how do you account for that in your statistics?

Legal Mini-gun? Sure, if you already have a Federal Firearms License. Without that, good luck.

How many children are injured on bicycles? How many die? How many are Permanently injured?

Your facts are vague, misleading and frankly, insulting.

Fun with math, the same statistics presented without the hysteria filter:

– 0.3% of Americans carry a gun at some point of their day on any given day.

– A combined worldwide military + police force of ~300+ million possess ~250 million guns (military grade), the 6.7 billion civilians own ~650 million (very mixed of all types).

– 3.154 million guns of all types are manufactured annually in the U.S. for all purposes – including those exported.

– China and India, with a combined population of ~2.5 billion people, make the top 5 list of countries with the most civilian guns. Oh double-duh. (Side note: Go Team America! We’re #1!)

– How many children are killed or crippled by cars each day? By hot water?

– 13% of shootings annually are homicides (actual deaths?). 87% of shootings are “other.” Police shootings are ~70% of all shootings annually? How many of the 100,000 are deaths? Even if all, out of 305 million people (or more) … 0.0003% of the population. What’s the percentage for cars?

– Violent crime goes up when gun ownership goes down? This is bad how …? More crime with fists, knives, lead pipes & broken bottles is better than less crime involving guns? WTF — you present this as a GOOD thing??

etc.

Chart is unsourced and does not pass critical logic & analysis smell test. No chance to look up the “sources” and determine their credibility.

FAIL.
