You said, "You can choose to ignore truth and continue on the PRO-VIOLENCE PATH the numbers show us to be on, or you can try to improve things."

I highlighted the straw-man for you. Self-defense is not pro-violence. It is the antithesis of that term. You're a strong anti-gun/2A who cannot have a reasonable debate with someone, and the highlighted comment, above, proves it. I try my best not to debate people like you because you refuse to see logic/reason on the other side of the argument. If someone doesn't agree with you being anti-gun, they are pro-violence, and there is no truth is that label.
