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.

Let's break this down. Most are murdered be ones they love/trust...ok, how many of these murders involve guns? All of em? No way. Would these people likely be killed regardless of wether or not a gun was involved...yes.
No, crime rates in certain areas HAVE dropped due to citizens being allowed to carry firearms. Again, most people DON"T want to kill.
And in this case, "potentially" is such a stupid, stupid, stupid word. That can apply to literally anything. Don't drive a car, potential accidents may occur. Don't send yr teenager to the mall alone, he/she may potentially be raped/sold drugs. Don't use prescription drugs, potential side effects including suicide may occur. I can go on and on and on w/ this shit.
Consider these some "simple FACTS" for you to acknowledge.
