Hello; I agree.People always freak out over a shooting, but there are like 150 million gun owners in the USA.
If we were all evil, the population could go from 350 million to 150 million in one day.
But the truth is just the opposite. Genuinely evil gun owners are one in a million here.
Another point seldom addressed in the number of times the use of a weapon saves lives or prevents a crime of some sort. In some cases the mere presence of a weapon without being actually used stops a problem (I have one or two of those personal incidents ). Sometimes a weapon is discharged without a fatality. Sometimes someone is wounded and also a few are killed.
I can dig out a reference source but from possibly faulty memory I think the number is over a million times a year.
