Hahahahahah! Wikipedia is considered a serious research source these days?
Funny, I don't see anyone suggesting that we ban automobiles just because some idiots drink and drive and kill people or intentionally use their vehicle as a weapon to kill people.
C'mon, folks. There are a lot of legal and sane people out there that DON'T and WON'T go nuts and kill someone with a gun. A small percentage of people actually end up doing something heinous like that, so why should all of us pay the price?
That same thinking could be applied to fast food. Just because some people can't be responsible and go completely overboard doesn't mean NO ONE should have access to it.0 -
Someone please tell me why guns are being compared to baseball bats, knives, large capacity trucks?
You DO realise that the sole purpose of guns is to kill or seriously wound, right?
But whatever, I'm just happy I live in a country where my kids can go to school without some kid stealing his Father's legal gun and shooting everyone. Or go to the cinema without some guy getting his legally obtained guns and shooting into the crowd.
American gun culture is madness to me. Never understood it, and never will.

Well that person is just lovely. What a great human.
That sign is awesome!!
No it's not.
Nope. It's not. Sad that people's frenzy over guns will lead them to put their neighbour in danger. Charming people.0 -

stats can:
So people still kill people without guns?
As you can see, they do. Unfortunately.
But still a lot less than with guns. And, although our rate of homocide without guns is higher (obviously), it's still less than America's.0 -
The answer is always guns. More guns.0

However the question should read:
but, in one word, post whether you are "anti-constitution" or "pro-constitution" or "neither"
Not wanting to own a gun doesn't make you anti-gun. You not wanting anyone else to own a gun makes you anti-gun, IMO.0 -

Counting the seconds before someone says "Yeah but America has more people"...0 -

it is factored in, it is per 100,000 people. we aren't laughing to be mean. we are laughing because the stats are correct and takes these things into account.0 -

Technically Canada's population is like 1/10th that of the United States....so their gun related death rate is higher, no?0 -
Neither. Either way you are pissing people off.0
