The Phony ‘Public-Health Crisis’ of Gun Violence

I have said this before, I challenge the thesis that gun violence is bad. Gun violence is not inherently bad. Like most things, it depends on the context.

A bad guy shooting up a bunch of innocents? Bad.
Someone shooting and killing that bad guy? Good.

Both are examples of gun violence. Anti-gun liberals accuse conservatives of oversimplifying when we break things down to good-guys-with-guns and bad-guys-with-guns. But they oversimplify even more than that by including good-guys-with-guns and bad-guys-with-guns into one amorphous lump, and then blaming that lump for all gun violence.

Liberals are obligated to paint all guns and gun owners as bad. Guns are the only way for the individual to be responsible for his own safety. The libs need everyone to be dependent on the gov for every basic need, that way they can rule us. Ask a lib why they dont want to disarm the police or the military? The answer is simple, they dont really believe in gun restrictions, they believe in restricting guns to a select few, who can then be controlled by their leadership.

I have read a small portion of the article and can agree with the main points (my take-aways). All violence is bad. However, focus need to be with the individual, not the tool. Trauma is not limited to violent crime.
