I actually didn't say this, but that's OK.

Not true. The accurate estimates run between 275 per year and
-63,000,000. The larger number is negative because that's the number of
victims who weren't attacking the gun-toter. Did you know that fully 60%
of all gun-related deaths are caused or influenced by atmospheric carbon
monoxide?

Well, then we have to also ask how many times that guns were used in
the commission of a crime but actually wasn't used (bank robberies,
enebling break-ins by giving a burglar confidence that he or she is
being protected) and by taking a page from the same book, all of those
"unreported" millions of times that a criminal used a gun to
intimidate someone or used in the commission of a crime. Of course,
we've got vice presidents shooting people in the face as well (OK, all
of you literalists, back off, it's just an ironic comment).

Personally, I'd also like the right to interact with the public
without the hidden presence of guns, but that's just my own personal
preference.

Then report back as soon as you find a place where evil does not
exist, so there would be no need for such protection.

I guess you spent the 70s in your room, since you have obviously
survived to this day.

Since he's not dead, he obviously never needed any protection.

And since he never needed any protection, it then follows that nobody
else needs it either.

Is that it?
