realdlhughley on Instagram: "“Protect and Serve”… more like Torture and Lynch AT WILL!! This is a perfect example of how corrupt the “American Justice” system is. The men that carried out these HEINOUS CRIMES are THUGS AND CRIMINALS with the legal authority to do so with impunity. @pushingblack On January 24th, Six YT officers in Braxton, Mississippi turned off their bodycams before illegally entering a home without a search warrant. A federal lawsuit reveals what happened. The officers claimed they were responding to a drug report, but when there were no drugs to be found, these cops didn’t stop. Instead, they proceeded to torture Michael Jenkins and Eddie Parker. They shocked them over and over with their tasers, beat them and kicked them. They waterboarded them. They even tried to rape the men with a sex toy. Throughout the night, they tried to force a fake confession out of the men, hurling racist slurs and accusing them of committing “racial violations” like dating YT women. They threatened to kill the men, holding their guns to their heads repeatedly. • At 11:40 PM, Deputy Hunter Elward placed his gun in Jenkins’ mouth and shot, shattering his jaw and irreparably damaging his tongue. He stumbled out of the house and fell to the ground and was just left there with no assistance for 20 minutes. Eventually, EMS showed up. Jenkins survived the life-threatening injuries, but his tongue had to be removed and he is now unable to speak. Both men are facing unspeakable trauma and will have a battle to find peace in their minds after being subjected to what can only be described as racial terrorism."

This is a perfect example of how..."
Every state purchasing in a store (every FFL) requires you to fill out paperwork [wait times may vary]. There is no mystical stores in some random state that sell guns without forms/paperwork. It’s a federal requirement. Even as a CCW in AZ, I still have to fill out a form even though I can take the gun home that same day (I have no wait time).
Private sales in every state doesn’t require documentation.
There is no difference here that I’m aware of for ANY state to the two above statements.
Unfortunately, there are no statistics that actually show how many gun defenses are successful each year. So you cannot say this without lying through your teeth. Some sources CLAIM to have this information… but likely don’t have the full data set. The CDC used to publish this information until pressured to take it down. They had estimated between 60k and 2.5 million “gun defense” events a year. The CDC will also say that we average <50k gun deaths per year(suicide being about 25k) in the USA. 60k>50k… which make you wrong just from that data alone. Once again the problem is we don’t know if “death” was an outcome of the “gun defense”. We also don’t know what that number really is between the 60k or 2.5mill… or something else. But the fact that with what we don’t know you’re wrong… and with what we knew you’re wrong… You’re just wrong… Statistically and logically.
To be clear, it wasn’t “you have to do literally any paperwork” that stopped me. It was the sheer amount of paperwork and hoops you have to jump through in my state to get a gun.
If anyone is lying here, it’s you. Literally just google it.

FFLs are required to do the same paperwork Form 4473 and the forms required for the following NICS check (or your CCW in states where the CCW includes a background check). Once again… it’s federal. How little you know about the process shows your biases though if you’re so willing to speak out against it.

Which is not your claim of
Which insinuates that you’re more likely to kill yourself and defend yourself with a gun.
Alright… next one…
Correct. The goal would be to de-escalate. Make the criminal run away. The goal of owning a gun isn’t to kill intruders. It’s to level the playing field so that you aren’t taken advantage of. This once again doesn’t match your statement.
Next one…
Does not make any comparison to defensive uses of guns… at all. Actually quite disingenuously… it specific targets cases where cohabitants shoot each other.
Your statement is
Statistically this is either dubious at best to and outright lie at worst.
So… Once again… Please address the question I asked. Stop trying to flood me with papers that don’t address it. 50k, which is the number that the CDC cites as total gun deaths per year in the USA (Cite1, Cite2, Cite3) is a lower number than 60k-2.5million (cite1 would be the CDC itself…, cite2, cite3. How is is that with these two numbers, that your statistics are right?
I think… and I’m not trying to be mean here… you’re uneducated on the matter or you have a personal grudge whether against guns or the group of people who tend to carry them. But your “statistics”… just don’t bare out to reality. You cannot simply equate these two things and make the claim you did. There is sufficient studies and evidence out there that show otherwise. You’re specifically taking studies that aren’t covering your statement and trying to apply them to yours.
Before I block you, I am simply going to drop this image from this article. I was mobile earlier, so my sources may not have been the best.
Oh, and this one is just for funsies: You have more success in not losing your property if you use literally any object other than a gun to defend yourself.
