Bloomberg says you are at risk for your life if you have a gun in your house

He cited domestic violence, children playing with guns, accidents

Will people vote for Bloomberg with his gun position??

Chances are there are plenty of people who will agree and vote for him on emotion instead of logic. The key here being that he is appealing to people's emotions, NOT logic.


What I can say is this: I won't vote for him based on this.


I am a gun owner and my guns haven't been responsible for any accidents or domestic violence. I keep them all locked up so there have been no incidents of children playing with them.


Furthermore, some years ago I looked up statistics for incidents of domestic violence and what the preferred implement of harm was. By a large margin, Hammers, Baseball bats and kitchen knives were all far more likely to be used for domestic violence.


I can also say I have been accidentally hurt more times by hammers and knives than a gun.


If people are interested I'm sure I can dig up the statistics on domestic violence again but for the moment I'm going from memory.

Logic and facts do not lend well to the anti gun argument.
