Another instance of a firearm protecting someone, this time from a stalker ex-boyfriend

[Straw Man]

5. While you were sleeping ...

And while she was waiting

for the cops to arrive, how many people died as a result of gun violence, accident, and suicide in a country where the purchase of firearms by people who face little real threat of becoming the victim of violent crime has turned America's streets and living rooms into a cornucopia of death tools.

Gun violence? Lots and lots, mostly at the hands of career criminals. Accident? Relatively few: they number in the hundreds per year in a nation of 320,000,000 with almost as many guns as people. Suicide? Overall US suicide rates are lower than those in the gun-free paradise of Japan, so arguably there are other factors involved than the availability of firearms.

The "purchase of firearms by people who face little threat"? I assume you're talking about people who purchase firearms for self-defense. These are overwhelming not the people who are perpetrating the violence.

"Death tools"? Really? You need some new clichés.
