Gun control is hitting your target.
Here are some facts. The facts come from the FBI's own homicide stats. They lump so called assault weapons in with rifles concerning homicides. Knives kill way more than all types of rifles put together. Over six times as much. Blunt objects like bats, batons and hammers are used to kill more than assault rifles. Unarmed men kill using physical means like punching kill more than assault carbines.
I make no apology for legally carrying for 40 years and I continue to do it. When carrying I will walk away from confrontation and never stand my ground. I'm not killing someone if I can deescalate a situation and walk/ run away. The only way I will stand my ground is if there is a lethal threat to me or someone else. Then I will light up the threat.
