Because of the right to own and operate firearms fewer people are dead or wounded. Possibly dozens of lives saved.

The guns are already there. Unfortunately we don't live in fantasy land. So we have to deal with reality.
Musical genius is always going to be Musical genius. I'm sure these men and women would rather have calm and safe upbringings and write fun happy songs.
You want reality homie…. My sons friend from HS just got shot and killed here this weekend. Thats reality.
Now he finally has something really in common with his dad….. friends murdered by guns. But let’s get back to people rights.
So like an alternate reality where he’s not Biggie Smalls; he’s Christopher Wallace and he sings songs on TV shows like Lamb Chop?
I hear you, and it sucks. That's the reality we live in. Bad guys have guns. Literally, millions of them. Once you remove the guns from the bad guys, then we can talk about making law abiding citizens give theirs up. Or making it harder for poor people to get guns. Maybe once we get police to respond sooner than 20 minutes. And get them to stop harassing the people who called once they do get there. Until then you're just talking about creating more victims. I had a high school friend drown in the Clackamas River at High Rocks. I've had 2 HS friends die in car accidents. One of my daughter's HS friends died in a car accident just a few months ago. My friend at work lost his nephew when he wrecked a side-by-side in his back yard home alone. Reality fucking sucks. My other daughter's best friend's grandmother had some guys breaking into her house about 6 months ago. Heard them going through her stuff downstairs so quietly got her shotgun out of the safe and sat on her bed with it pointed at the door. When the guy opened the door and saw the gun he about shit himself and screamed something that included "GUN!" and bolted. She heard at least 2 people tearing their way out of the house. She called the police to report it. About 25 minutes later they arrived. I've posted the numbers. There are at LEAST hundreds of thousands (but most estimates say millions) of defensive gun uses in this country every year. It happens every day. Many times per day. But scaring off a low life with your gun doesn't even get reported often times, and if it does get reported it almost never makes the news. If we say the number of defensive gun uses is 1 million, and only 5% of those would have ended in death without a gun to stop things (just throwing out fairly conservative numbers)... That would be more than the number of gun deaths we experience now.
We don't care about good people with guns killing bad. You seem to think this means something. As if it justifies all this......It's just more murders by guns.
My grandfather was shot dead. He took some money out of the bank, quite a bit, and some guys were watching for just that in the parking lot. They followed him home and ran up into his house behind him and they held him up at gunpoint. He told them he wasn't giving them his money and to fuck off and they shot him in the head.
Yeah, it was pretty shocking. He was the nicest fucking guy in the world. Would give you the shirt off his back. He drew a line. They got the guys or at least one of them. They took a bunch of stuff from his house and dropped a some outside, leaving some prints and one of them smoked a cigarette out front and left the butt.
Someone mentions a kid getting killed, and this is your response? How about just gosh, that really sucks, I'm sorry, and then sit it out for a bit. Fuck.
