how many were self inflicted? how many were a result of criminal activity? how many were accidental?

Approx. 25,000 people died from gunshots in 2207. Hopefully they were all bad guys, ya think How many died of auto accidents? How many died of heart attack? How many died from non gun related violence?!? Might be suprised at the results. How many tripped in the bathroom, choke on a piece of chicken. Please

how many were accidental? how many were committed with illegal weapons? besides in 2207 they won't have guns. They'll have blasters That is a lame argument, the point is that those that were accidental would be alive. Here is a better argument... If all those starving people in Africa had weapons with which to drive off the scum that are causing them to starve... would they be dying of starvation? When only aggressors have guns only aggressors make rules.

The majority of gun-related deaths in the United States are suicides, with firearms used in 16,907 suicides in the United States during 2004. -wiki

NO!......how about if they actually had a uncorrupted govt. with responsible laws....and only the lawmakers had guns....not half the countryside like it is now!......now you get small armies overthrowing the govt. and its ruining the continent.....

How many died from non gun related violence?!? Might be suprised at the results. Auto accidents are out of our control to some degree(we could legislate more strict driver training)....but still would be out of our control Heart attacks????....come on dude!...that makes NO sense.... The point here is that Gun-Violence IS something that you can control!.....go look at the numbers from England and Canada and tell me I'm wrong! ps. Don't come back to me listing the auto accident and heart attack rates in those countries.....because that would just make you look.......

I would refer you to the American Revolution and the War of Northern Aggression that WAS the American way....do you see that happening now?.....those events were also for the greater good of most Americans not like whats going on in Africa where you have small-interest groups hoarding the countries limited resources and ruining it for the rest of the population....
