re: #26 Political Atheist

Ever see this? Certainly not the NRA making the argument.

“I asked my friend, ‘If you’d had a gun, do you think you could have stopped the attacker?’” Quigley recalls. “She said yes.”

So, basically, the “I think a gun will make me safer” argument.

Despite the evidence that, in fact, a gun makes you less safe.

The rest of the article doesn’t really improve the case, from a pro-gun viewpoint. The self-defense expert is in favor of banning assault weapons and restricting ammunition sales.

Oh, and if the rapist has a gun too?

“Then you better shoot first,” Quigley says.

Sage, sage advice.
