True, that is why I have Three German Shepard Mixes, all adopted when they showed up at my door step as pups all Brothers. That said, dogs are best at a deterrent and and a method of slowing down someone that is not afraid of them, that is why we are also armed. The Gates around my property are all locked at all times and the front gate has a buzzer with a sign next to it that reads, "Our Dogs can reach this gate in 3 seconds or less from anywhere on the property, if you can't, press the buzzer,Thanks."

You are comparing apples and oranges here when you compare total car deaths to only murder deaths by guns. In reality guns kill more people in the US than cars do.

There were 39,740 deaths from firearms in the U.S. in 2018.
36,560 people were killed in traffic crashes in 2018,

Well we Know you are a yellow spined coward!
Why I do not give a rats ass about those countries! I care about my freedom!
Yes, it's the same bullshit argument all the gun-grabbing liberals dance around.
Are these guns designed to kill?
Not if you are considering suicides, take that number out and cars have a far higher number.
I would also point out that a very large number of murders are done using a gun that was not legally owned by the shooter, meaning they were criminals and do not care what the law says.
And I live in the heart of a city, no dogs, no gates, no guns, and I don’t waste a second of time worrying about someone breaking in, different worlds
So? Has anyone died by accidentally leaving their gun "running" on a table with the garage door closed?
Do you own any guns? If so, then you are a hypocrite. If not, then why do you feel you can impose your beliefs onto other Americans?

I would also question, kill what? Almost every long gun is applicable to hunting use. Handguns not so much, but they don't want to go there because so many Libs own them, and they claim that HG's don't hold as many rounds as some rifles, while ignoring the fact that there are plenty of 21 and 30 round handgun mags available, I have several for most of mine, especially the Glocks.
Exactly the point. Why do you feel you have a right to impose your world onto mine and millions of other Americans?
Agreed. It's gets back to the "control" thing with Democrats seeking to impose their One-Size-Fits-All laws across the land from sea to shining sea.
Ah, yeah, did you think the initial design behind a biathlon weapon is any different than any other long gun
Sorry, dude, but that's the Great Liberal Lie; implying that even most of those "gun deaths" or "gun violence" were murders, not suicides.
How many of those were suicides? What percentage? Please answer honestly and then tell me that banning AR-15s will stop more than a few of those suicides.
What type of gun is most commonly used for suicide and how many shots were fired?
Nice to see you move the goal posts and backpedal from your initial claim that all guns are designed to kill.
Rifles shoot a pellet. So does this:
Do you want to ban bows, knives and slingshots too?
I live in a rural area and it takes, on average, sometimes longer, 20 minutes for the Sheriff to show up, so you have to take care of yourself and property or lose them. I have cameras, motion sensors, and automatic Lights around the property where needed and I have still had to grab an AR or Shotgun more than once to go check out what was happening at one of my two barns in the middle of the night. And yes, on one occasion I did catch someone, held them there for the Sherriff to show up, he was young and stupid. I did not press charges since they had not broken into anything at that point but the sheriff gave them a ride out with a trespass warning and told him that I would be fully within my rights if I caught him inside the barn to have shot him, laws are good here in Texas, I never saw him again which is good.

just because a majority of people are cowards doesn't negate the rights of the minority. more ad homs confirms you are losing the debate.

you obviously don't understand dogs any more than you do the constitution. I, however, have spent over 10 years rescuing dogs, including fighting ring dogs, and have rehabilitated more dogs than I care to count can tell you that your dog wants to feel safe in his own home behind you.
Lighten up, man. It was meant as a joke.
The real danger when cleaning your car is this-
What beliefs am I imposing on you other than pointing out that your argument is bogus. Many bogus arguments are used to support a correct conclusion but it doesn't make the argument less bogus. Cars are not guns and they are not used the same way as guns. A specious comparison that is used a lot is still specious.
Interesting that you only want to separate murders from other deaths when it comes to guns. Shouldn't you separate out murders by car if you want to use auto death numbers to compare to guns? Clearly you recognize it is specious to not compare like to like but you still careened down that road.
A Ford and 100 mph.
But gun owners are super responsible. I have heard that a million times after every crazy shooting. Every time a kid gets shot by his parent's gun, it comes out again. I teach my kids all about gun safety. I keep my guns safe. 7000 kids a year are shot by super safe guns.
