Democrats bark that we must be deprived of our right to bear arms because guns are used to commit crimes. This ignores that lawfully owned guns are often used to prevent crime. Guns used in crimes tend not to be lawfully owned, as stats from Ammo.com confirm:

• Only 1.3% of criminals used a firearm that was purchased from [a dealer with a Federal Firearms License (FFL)] during the commission of a crime, based on a 2016 survey

• 89% of inmates reported that they possessed a firearm during the commission of a crime that was not obtained at a retailer (FFL Dealer)

• 56% of inmates arrested with a firearm at the time of their crimes stated they had stolen it

Criminals don’t worry about gun laws. They steal their guns or buy them on the black market anyway. There are an estimated 400,000,000 guns in the USA. Criminals will always have access to them.

Gun laws render the law-abiding defenseless against criminals, to whom gun laws do not apply. Yet again we see that Democrats side with criminals against regular Americans.
