what would the ratios look like for number of firearms owned responsibly and without incident vs. firearms used for murder?
I insist, just because YOU can not operate a firearm, doesn't make it illogical for others to own them. You're forcing your will, limited by your own insecurities onto others... lame.

it's been said a million times before, MOST victims are murdered by someone they know/love/trust. Since they are not expecting it, having a gun doesn't help much.
it's been said a million times, more guns = more murders, in terms of stats. Also in terms on stats, people's chances of getting hurt/killed in the event of crime increased when they own a gun and attempt to use it.
it's been said a million times before, ONE owning a gun puts OTHERS at risk potentially, so the whole forcing your will thing cannot apply there logically speaking.
it's been said a million times before, MOST crimes happen with guns once purchased legally.
So you may continue the discussion, as long as you aknowledge those simple facts.
