Obviously the Vikings wanted that to be lost to history. They have a right to erasure, so certainly burying treasure is trying to be forgotten.
exactly. They're using a service without paying. That's theft.

How is someone voluntarily deciding to be an Uber driver taking advantage of them?
How is shutting down Uber through government not harming people that voluntarily agreed to be Uber drivers?
How about this - California has realized that Uber and Lyft have significantly affected their DUI economy and are making it harder for people to get safe sober rides home so they can prosecute more DUIs and get more money for the state.
The state can't have that happen.

You asked essentially how many violent crimes were presented by gun owners. Kleck did the best study to date on it and published in a peer review journal. The media doesn't bring these statistics into the conversation, which is why you wouldn't have heard about it.
Kleck conducted a national survey in 1994 (the National Self-Defense Survey) and, extrapolating from the 5,000 households surveyed, estimated that in 1993 there were approximately 2.5 million incidents in which victims used guns for self-protection, compared to about 0.5 million gun crimes as estimated by the National Crime Victimization Survey.

Google National Self Defense Survey. 2.5 million preventions a year
The biggest thing that pro gun control people do is misunderstand stats. Democide (death by governmeny) killed over 250 million people in the 20th century - all on populations that were unarmed. Ill take my increased chance of accidental discharge, etc to prevent my government from deciding to cleanse my entire town on a whim.
