It shouldn't surprise anyone that the LA Times is posting a biased article that does nothing to hide their irrational fear of gun rights and gun owners.
In this article from June they claim that defensive gun use isn't as high as 2A supporters claim. What they fail to take into account are all the defensive guns uses that are not reported, because it doesn't suit the agenda of most of the liberal media outlets.
Times when criminals failed to commit a crime simply because a gun was present. Times when criminals didn't even attempt to commit the crime because they knew, or assumed, the occupants of the home or store would be armed.
This is why the majority of gun crimes are committed in gun free zones. Criminals aren't stupid. They aren't going to attempt to victimize people that can fight back. Maybe why they don't attack gyms or places where people could easily overpower their cowardly selves.
No matter how many gun crimes are committed you will never convince me that disarming the public will stop, or even reduce, this. Criminals don't follow laws so they will continue to do what they do, obtain guns by any means necessary, and commit these crimes. If you take away our right to defend ourselves, the only thing you'll increase is the # of victims and deaths.
Stop blaming the NRA. Stop claiming they condone this illegal activity. Stop saying they are blaming the victims for not being armed.
When we day "if someone had been armed, the victim count might have been lower"... That is fact.
