Can guns stop violence?

'The only thing to stop a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun!'

That's the mantra used by the National Rifles Association (NRA) to make more people buy and carry guns. But is it true?

No, of course it isn't. Anyone who can think for themselves can figure that out but for those who find that hard, here are the published facts.

In 30 years of mass shootings in the USA, how many were stopped by 'a good guy with a gun'? None, to be exact. Zero. Zilch. Despite the NRA claiming there are thousands of those incidents every single year. As a matter of fact: the few times a civilian managed to end a shooting, the civilian was unarmed!

This is what the FBI has to say about the myth.

And here is the story about two 'good guys' who turn into 'bad guys' and 'a good guy with a gun' who tries to stop them.

The NRA wants more guns in schools to protect the children from mass shootings. Sure, let's give an alcoholic a free bottle of vodka and tell him not to drink it... Great! Now there's a whole new market for Santa!

Here is proof NRA's Wayne LaPierre lies continuously.

Another such liar is gun advocate John Lott. Eventually he even admitted he created a Usenet account name 'Mary' who claimed 'John Lott was the best professor I ever had!' A liar ánd a narcicist. (Warning for GOP and FOX-fans: article contains a lot of words. Some of them have more than two syllables.)

('If violence really was the best way to end violence there would be no more violence.' Quote by me.)

And why do people claim gun control does not work? If government control does not work, why control drug traffic? Or control of traffic of any kind? Watch this video that proofs gun control does work. Al least in a country where apparantly sane people live, Australia.
