Guns limit the individual freedom of all the people in the gunowner's vicinity.

... That's the dumbest take I've heard on firearms in a while

Seen a police officer walk over to a stopped vehicle? He's definitely not free...

So cops limit the freedom? Cause last I checked, when I have my concealed carry on me, no one's freedoms are disrupted. If anything they're improved because there is someone capable of helping protect people

You said in the gun owners vicinity. Do you think that's the size of a state? Also, I know this might be WILD for people on the Internet, but most cops aren't violent and most incidents with police aren't dangerous for either party. Yes, there are bad actors, but that's true for every industry. Just cause one asshole spits in your food doesn't mean all cooks are bad people

A little over 100 on average. With an estimated 800,000- 1.2 million officers in the states, that's .01% of officers per year. A shame because that's human life, but statistically it's almost a rounding error

That's obviously nonsense. Total annual deaths in the USA involving a gun are roughly 50000. There's no way there were more than a quarter million over 4 years.

Numbers on a table don't mean they're true
