Young girl shot in Liverpool, UK during a home invasion and two other family members were shot, as well, would UK citizens benefit from guns?

I always see post from people in the European region here especially our English allies always stating that things like this never would happen in their country & how they're glad they don't need guns.

But as you can see a Criminal broke into the house & shot and killed the daughter and shot the other two adults & injured them. So would the parents have saved their daughter & had a fighting chance if they had weapons themselves? Cause as you can see Criminals are always going to have them no matter where you are. Which is the reason we have guns in the US. Do you think the United Kingdom would benefit from having guns?

My boy Mike had a gun when his home was invaded. He’s still in a wheelchair for life though, quadriplegic. Funny thing about home invasions…. the intruder knows he’s coming and already has the drop on you.

In some ways, yes. And in some ways, things would be worse. It's not a yes/no binary; reality rarely is.

What the fuck would a 9 year old do with a gun?

Read the article like an adult, not just the headline, you meth addicted numbnut.

The latest on the case is it was likely mistaken identity. The family was killed in a crossfire, a gunman chased another into an open door, and opened fire.

Fuck all another gun on the premises could have done in that situation.

If anything, this is further reason why shutting doors and good door locks would save more lives than guns. Perhaps those two things would cut down US school shootings too, eh?

Seriously? You think a locked door is going to stop a home invader or burglar?

It amazes me how committed you are to having unarmed women be raped in their own homes.

But yeah. “Guns bad.” 🙄

@Agagagagaga yeah we got ourselves a strange individual lol

I'm going to say no, that man would've already shot and killed the girl before even thinking of running to go get the gun. It would've just ended up in more bloody murders.

[slatyb]

No, they wouldn’t. There are many times more deaths from guns in the US.

Way to misrepresent and insult an entire nation asshole.

Find any research or stat that shows more guns reduce crime. I dare everyone.
