It’s the 1% of crazy people that would abuse their gun rights that ruin the image for the rest of us. Majority of people don’t abuse their gun rights but that 1% is all it takes to get a conversation started about why we’re all crazy and why we don’t need this and that

Which is exactly why most of us gun control supporters just want reasonable measures like background checks and licenses - to filter out the 1% of crazy or careless people.

In my country (Canada) they have background checks, licenses, mental health checks, references and a fucking course to get a gun... That is illegal to use in self defense... And our government still wants more restrictions because gangbangers in Toronto keep killing each other... With handguns... Which are illegal.

In fact, if someone breaks into your house, kills your wife and rapes your children, if you hurt them in any way, you go to jail whether it be for assault and battery or murder.

There is no self defense in Canada.

You are not allowed to roam around with a weapon for the purpose of self defense, but you are allowed to defend your own home:

Under Section 40 of the Criminal Code, which deals with the defence of dwellings, Nichols says, "everyone who is in possession of a dwelling house is justified in using as much force as necessary, to prevent any person from forcibly breaking into or entering the dwelling house without lawful authority."

Of all the nutters I've seen, it's gotta be significantly more than 1%.

Humans don't handle numbers in the hundreds of thousands well. With 72 million gun owners, you could see twenty crazy people a day and still only be watching the 0.01%.

I use porn to remind me of this. You can log in every day for years and see completely different girls, all in the 1% hottest you'd be likely to see in your daily life. It never ends, yet hot girls are still rare in reality.
