You don ' t kiss when you ' re verbally raping someone . <| sep |> Alternatively , you could prove him wrong . <| sep |> What Bay is this that you swam in ? <| sep |> I ' m not talking about cans .

Problem with early thanksgiving dinner though is getting up super early to get the turkey into the oven . So I can respect it ' s prob not the majority . <| sep |> DGU defensive gun uses in the US estimates range from ~ 50 , 000 yr to over 2 millionyr depending on which studies you refer to . The discrepancy in numbers is so high that we can ' t draw any firm conclusions about this . As for other countries , you ' d have to look into studies for them . The point is , violent crime is not a rare occurrence . The United States compares very unfavorably to every country in Western Europe and Japan where they have strict gun control laws when it comes to violent crime rates . People should be allowed to lawfully defend themselvesI agree , but it just begs the question to say that this should be an inherently lawful form of defense . Correct , and if they had a reasonable belief that someone was trying to hurt them in a jurisdiction where such defense is legal , then it would be lawful . And won ' t a lot of people also foreseeable use this defense unreasonably and inflict grave harm on an innocent victim by using a gun on them ? There are over 300 million guns in our country . even if we somehow outlawed the sale of guns , there would still be plenty out there . Not to mention the illegal sale of guns that would certainly still exist . So this would only disadvantage those people who intended to follow the law . This may be a pragmatic problem with gun prohibition , but it doesn ' t speak to the point about weighing the foreseeable costs of gun control against its foreseeable benefits , and which weighs more heavily .
