KingChris 15 hours ago So smarty pants... how do we or the NRA stop irresponsible people from purchasing fire arms!? What do you propose!?
Cobra 14 hours ago The NHTSA has been pretty consistent in reporting over the last few years that out of the roughly 250 million cars in this nation, we consistently have about 30 thousand plus auto deaths per year. The FBI statistics consistently show that out of the roughly 300 million guns in this country we have FAR fewer gun deaths than with autos and those gun deaths are consistently going DOWN!
Here are the numbers for firearm deaths in America per year per our official FBI statistics:
You're entitled to your own opinions . . . but not your own facts. There are more guns and few deaths with them, than there are with autos. The numbers aren't even close. In the tragic case here, we simply have an irresponsible man far more than these particular objects. We are clearly far more irresponsible with our cars than we are with anything else and far more deaths result each year because of it.
Chris Crap 14 hours ago what if someone didn't have access to alcohol and drove after drinking at the juice bar instead...would they have killed the family of 4? Should we ban alcohol? What if football was banned too? would chad stover still be alive? Should we ban boating and swimming? i bet a lot of children die from drowning too. Swimming is NOT necessary to survive.
SuperWitty Smitty 12 hours ago Please note that we have many regulations for selling and using alcohol; possibly more regulations than we do for guns. Not sure which is involved in more deaths, but they surely go together, don't they?
Older Wiser 9 hours ago What if Mr. Noble had run out of his home and simply punched the girl in the head and killed her? He would have been using physical force to stop a felony being committed against him. Would he had been charged with murder?
SuperWitty Smitty 8 hours ago The reason guns are used in the majority of homicides (and suicides) is that they're so effective and efficient when it comes to killing. Punching, stabbing, choking all require a physical commitment and true desire to complete the task. A gun requires a momentary contraction of muscle, from a distance. No muss, no fuss, no chance to re-consider- BOOM and it's done.
