Will it help my wife's best friend who was shot in the stomach six times by her husband when she got up in the middle of the night to eat something in the kitchen?
Let me introduce you to a revolutionary view about gun violence.
https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10209983/
It is called reality with gems like, "96% of murder-suicide victims are female."
Not now, unfortunately while they can produce light so you don't shoot your wife six times, they sadly lack the ability to alter the space time continuum and change the past, sorry to disappoint. You have to use the flashlight before you shoot the wrong person, the flashlight can't unshoot someone.
Btw you do know that just because some people kill their wives that doesn't mean everyone will, right? You worried your wife is the next Jody Arias? No? See it works much the same way here, not every man is going to be Chris Benoit. That's like that racist "13% of the population 50% of the crime," it doesn't mean all black people are criminals, nor does your stat mean "all men" or even "all gunowners" are wifemurderers.
Just because every abuser with a gun abuses their wife doesn't mean that everyone is an abuser? Well no shit Sherlock.
Now are you going to tell that to the million women who get raped at gun point? Or the four million every year that are threatened by guns!?
No, you are going to make tone deaf jokes about getting a flashlight for your gun so you can see the look on your wife's face before you pull the trigger.
Well if they've been convicted of DV they're federally barred from firearms ownership, so they shouldn't have guns. I also doubt your assertion that everyone who abuses their wives and has guns shoots their wives, or there'd be like 40% more dead cop-wives, for instance.
Tell them what? That not every rapist has a gun, not every man is a rapist, and not every gun owner is necessarily a rapist or even a man (did you know they let women buy guns these dsys? Wild I know.) Sure, put em on the phone I'll tell them (oh and btw I'm also a rape victim, twice!)
More like "you were spouting silly bullshit so I sardonically replied, as one does." Something is wrong with your thought process that you think "make sure to positively identify your target so you don't accidentally shoot someone innocent" means "look your wife in the eyes as you purposefully kill her," I don't think you should have guns, you seem disturbed.
