Serious question for Americans?

[Anonymous No.15107751]

If so much of the population has guns why is there such a complete and utter lack of footage of people defending themselves with them?

. For example the videos of pit bulls mauling people in the street, why is there not a single video of a citizen pulling his gun out our going to his car/house to get one and shooting the dog. Similarly with the mass shootings, why are they literally never interrupted by a citizen. The latest one in Walmart, must have been at least 100 people there and as usual the guy went around unchallenged until the police got him.

the people who own 20+ guns raise the average so it looks like everyone owns one

most people have guns to defend their home, i dont think anyone was anticipating a white jewish kid doing a shoot up at a mall.

Seriously though think about it, there must have been 100 people in the latest Walmart. I'm under the impression 10% of people carry them everywhere or have one in their car, yet not a single person got him.

Or the Pitbull vids (very real danger but lots of time to act). Why doesn't someone simply go into their house, get a gun and shoot it?

You do see it, it's just never on the news. I've drawn a gun twice in my life (car jacking and a home invasion).

Check out reddit.com/r/dgu for the stuff that is reported.

I'm talking amateur footage. I've saw the occasional robbery interrupted by members of staff but randoms protecting themselves or others is so rare

Just because you aren't seeing footage on the nightly news doesn't mean it isn't happening. Stories of Americans defending themselves don't get coverage. Google, YouTube and Facebook censor it too.
If it doesn't make sense, I assume you're a teenager. Maybe look into who owns the media outlets, and then cross reference that with their common political goals.

This has been studied in detail and statistically speaking you are almost never going to even be given the opportunity to defend yourself, which is why the vast majority of in home shootings are people shooting their own family or friends. The irony of being a gun owner for “self defense” is you’re basically culling your gene pool, not protecting it. Additionally, most self defense opportunities that arise do not result in some sort of “yea my gun saved me!” They more often result in “whoops shot my neighbor dead” or “whoops shot my kid in the face”. The “self defense” gun owner reason is the lowest IQ of them all. I’m not a fan of guns but I can understand sport shooting or hobbyists or collectors. Self defense as your reason makes you scientifically unapologetically retarded.

We should trim down much of the military and instead enroll every able bodied citizen between the age of 18 and 55 into a standing reserve militia, with mandatory training and a mandatory issued assault rifle with 1,000 rounds of ammo, and an additional sniper rifle to marksmen.
There should be a military caliber assault rifle in every home in America and at least one citizen militia member trained to use it.
Every law passed by Congress would be just. No foreign power would ever consider invading. Social entitlement spending could have a windfall bonanza with the money savings.

You're a moron (because you're not American) who doesn't understand how distributions work. There are enclaves of gun owners, who all own more than one gun. Then, there are normal people. Even most people who have guns do not carry them around. America isn't some homogenous blob like wherever you live, there is a ton of geographical and population based variation and micro-trends. To try to put all Americans in one group betrays a complete lack of understanding how America works and life itself works. In short, kys

Liberals block us from carrying guns at pretty much every large pubic event. The law abiding citizens of course leave their guns at home while the criminals carry theirs right on in. Also, most of the big events are liberal events. You don't see these things happen at country music concerts.

Kind of interesting but doesn’t factor in the roles of human greed and ego. Would undoubtedly quickly lead to one of the most ruthless civil wars history has ever seen. If we were already peaceable we might stand a chance but given how divisive the country is on so many other issues, we’d be fucked.

Its a whole lot less than 10% of people who carry. Only a little less than 5% of the population has the permit to carry, and most people who have the permit have it just in case they want to carry their gun, and end up never using it. However, I'm disappointed that in TEXAS of all states, nobody had a gun.

>I'm under the impression 10% of people carry them everywhere
your impression is wrong. even the people i know with conceal carry permits don’t actually concealed carry. not a one. the closest to carrying that i know of is keeping a gun in the car, in my social circle.

Even among groups that have guns, only a very small percentage of those people have ever been in high stress conflict situations, and only a portion of the people who have are built to address them rather than run away or hide. Having gear is a waste of money for most of the people who own it because most people anywhere are fundamentally would be statistics in any conflict.

Yes you do.
I agree with you though, guns are useless because you have to leave them at home to obey the law. Obvious solution is to ban them so the people who don't leave them at home can't get them.
