Infowars.com<\/strong> Yesterday, South Carolina’s governor Nikki Haley excitedly tweeted about the Christmas gift her husband got her \u2014 a Beretta PX4 Storm. <\/p>\n The tweet wasn’t greeted with holiday cheer. Rather, gun-fearing Twitter users wished ill will on Haley, with one suggesting she use the pistol to shoot herself. <\/p>\n \u201cPlease God, use it on yourself. Like before New Years,\u201d one user responded.<\/p>\n Another person \u201choped\u201d Haley doesn’t \u201caccidentally shoot someone\u201d in her family, then admitted that scenario wouldn’t particularly phase him.<\/p>\n Others claimed Haley’s tweet \u201cpromoted murder\u201d and that she was gifted \u201can agent of death.\u201d Of course, according to these folks, guns in the hands of police are \u201cinstruments of peace.\u201d<\/p>\n So let’s try to sort this out. On the one hand, it’s fine for a gun proponent to use a gun, but only if it’s to shoot themselves. On the other, guns are bad because they kill people. Take a second to stop your head from spinning.<\/p>\n Purposely ignored, of course, are the countless instances in which members of the public have used guns to protect and defend homes and businesses from potentially deadly attackers. The website GunsSaveLives.net<\/a> attempts to map out incidents in which guns have been used in self defense.<\/p>\n Website GunsSaveLives.net maps out incidents in which guns have been used in self defense since August 2011.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
