This is a link post I was thinking about Brokencoccyx's thoughts about gun ownership in America and this vid popped up.
It's meant to be a pro-gun vid but after watching it I'm not so sure.

This is a normal post speaking of which... saw this article today about
Canadians ridiculing a US tourist who had expressed his anxiety over holidaying in Canada without his gun

This is a normal post "I thank the Lord Jesus Christ they did not pull a weapon of some sort."
So who do they thank that HE didn't? Silly silly man.

This is a normal post All this says to me...
...is that the robbers are only interested in one thing; Money. They don't want to use their guns and most don't, even when fired upon by the victims/bystanders.

If put in the same situation would I pull a gun if I had one? Only if I genuinely believed my life was in danger. I don't think I could shoot someone, no matter how much of a scumbag, for the sake of a couple of hundred pounds/dollars. A sentiment the civilians in the video don't seem to share...

I usually love seeing criminals get what they deserve when people choose to stand up to them, but these videos just made me feel uncomfortable.

This is a normal post When you make guns illegal, only those willing to break the law own guns.
This is only one of thousands of stories. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wichita_Massacre

This is a normal post Five people and a dog, wow.
What about the countless accidental shooting stories?

This is a normal post Accidental shootings happen. So do accidental deaths in pools, parasailing, etc.
More people are killed in auto accidents each year, but we don't ban cars or drink.

This is a normal post No we don´t ban cars.
We do however have seatbelts, alcohol limits and drivers licenses.
I really don´t give a toss about gun control in the US, because a) it´s way to late for that and b) its not for me to opinionate on another countries laws.
What does piss me off no end is the way yanks (not you, mind) somehow feel the need ridicule those countries that do have gun control.

This is a normal post Right, you do have those controls, just like we have many laws controlling guns.
Those who break those laws are responsible for the deaths. I just believe in the right to defend myself and my family.

I don't ridicule your gun control, but Norway has extremely strict gun control and just suffered a mass shooting. The UK did a few years back. Israel and Switzerland allow automatic weapons on the street and have few mass shootings. Once one gets beyond the hysterics of politics, one must ask why?

This is a normal post It may be the way media report it, or how I pick it up, but,
It seems to me mass shootings appear more frequently in the US then anywhere else, where they seem to be more exceptional incidents.
Also, at the risk of sounding flippant, the number of people killed in these mass shootings appear insignificant compared with the total number of fire arm killings.

This is a normal post Right. The majority of firearm killings tend to be among urban types in cities with strict gun control, like Chicago and New York.
Like drugs, where there is a market, they will find their way in.

On the positive side, I saw a Department of Justice statistic that said that the prime beneficiaries of "justifiable homicide" (self-defense) are black men.

This is a normal post Guns cannot be banned in the US, too pervasive now and more nutters that you can shate your dick at

www.youtube.com/watch?v=RjZsZKcu_KQ I found the way the shop owner talks about the robbers injuries at the end a bit chilling.

This is a normal post A lot more clinical than the boasting the robbers would have done had they shot him.
He was a Marine, so likely understands a thing or two about death.
