You THINK you're safer with more weapons on the streets If you look at the actual causes of death and injury in the US, it seems that changing the number of guns on the street isn't likely to have much effect on *my* personal risk. Not sure that's entirely true... as a collective part of the general populace, the odds of your azz getting shot up goes up with every weapon sold 1) Its exactly because my risk is relative to that of the general public that I make my claim. 2) It is fantastically stupid to assume that the *actual* odds of my getting shot increase with each weapon sold. The odds of my *actually* drowning do not increase every time a pool is installed, nor do the odds of my getting hit by a car change in any meaningful way every time a car is sold. Once again you've illustrated a lack of solid reasoning while pushing your anti-gun agenda. 3) As I said - and as your own poster charts indicate - the number of guns on the street does not have much effect on my personal risk. EACH of the following causes of death pose a GREATER risk than guns do: car accidents, falls, poisoning or drug overdose, vehicle accidents, stroke, cancer and heart disease. In some cases, the ratio of risk is well over an order of magnitude. So, like I said: Increasing the number of guns on the street has really no meaningful bearing on my personal risk. Its insane to think otherwise. Its like when 9/11 happened and a lot of people were personally *afraid* of terrorists - its not at all logical. You seem to be quite devoted to your position on guns. Good luck with that. The stats are clear, you're on pace and headed for 12000 gun related fatalities this year. More guns, more death! http://www.gunviolencearchive.org/ Twelve thousand guns deaths divided by Three hundred and thirty million US current population comes to less than 0.0036363636% of the US population. Malpractice deaths numbering 100,000 per year comes to 0.03030303% of US population. One should fear their Doctors before private firearms ownership. |

Yes that's right 0.0036363636% of the US population. Needless deaths and more than any other country in the civilised world. Free, my arse! comparing apples to oranges Needless shooting deaths, try and stay focused on this will ya? |

Doubt the idiot ever shot that thing,all he did was being Photographed with it! Likened it to a Bazooka! Wish he would stand behind one when it is fired! Must have gotten his pointers from Senator DeLeon and his Ghost-Gun! Here is an Account of his stupidity! http://www.redstate.com/streiff/2016/06/14/ny-daily-news-reporter-.gershkuntzman-lies-ar-15/ It refutes all of Kuntzman's Malarkey! |

Free, my arse! comparing apples to oranges Needless shooting deaths, try and stay focused on this will ya? In life, some things are supposed to hurt. Your utopian world will never come to be on this world. While guns kill 12,000 people each year in the US, more than 18,000 people are murdered in the US by other means - hammers, pillows, strangulation by cordage or hands, bricks, knives, etc. I don't see or hear cries for the banning of any of those implements despite their taking of half again the lives of those taken by firearms. What about the number of lives protected by firearms? The FBI has stated that 750,000 Americans have used firearms to defend their lives and or property every year. As for needless deaths, look up how many people in the rest of the world are killed by bladed weapons - just a few years ago 500,000 Rwandans were murdered by machetes. |

Ummm Why are you quoting your own post and laughing? |

While guns kill 12,000 people each year in the US, more than 22,000 people are murdered in the US by other means - hammers, pillows, strangulation by cordage or hands, bricks, knives, etc.
Maybe but I doubt very much than man could have killed one individual by strangulation, hammer or pillow even in the Orlando club that night. I can see the difference, can you see the difference? |

I can see that the establishment of gun free zones has lead to more needless deaths in the US. I can see that the the importation of immigrants who have zero interest in merging their prior lives into the American way can lead to more deaths. I can see that some people of a certain political party can't be trusted with the responsibility of firearms ownership (democrats - most of mass shooter's political affiliation). |

Nonsense, all the mass shooters in the US were homegrown. |

I can see the difference, can you see the difference? how many people died on 9-11 with just boxcutters? how many people were killed/hurt at the boston marathon with a pressure cooker? how many people died in OK with just fertilizer? guns aren't the problem, stupid people are the problem. |

Nonsense, all the mass shooters in the US were homegrown. According to one listing on murder rates per country, there are 90 countries in the world with a higher murder rate than the US. Canada is one of those countries. http://www.statcan.gc.ca/tables-tableaux/sum-som/l01/cst01/legal12b-eng.htm |

I can also see that three quarters of one million lives saved beat the heck out of 12,000 people murdered. People who probably be murdered anyway.
Murderers will find a way to kill. |

From the original article.... 'He admires his weaponry, yes, and has difficulty explaining why law-abiding citizens need a gun that can empty a 40-round clip in less than five seconds." "Even in semi-automatic mode, it is very simple to squeeze off two dozen rounds before you even know what has happened. In fully automatic mode," http://fellowshipoftheminds.com/2016/06/15/ny-daily-news-writer-is-a-pajama-boy-what-is-it-like-to-fire-an-ar-15-its-horrifying-menacing-and-very-very-loud/ the Guy is a hoplophobic lying Wussy! |

""Not in my hands. I’ve shot pistols before, but never something like an AR-15. Squeeze lightly on the trigger and the resulting explosion of firepower is humbling and deafening (even with ear protection). The recoil bruised my shoulder. The brass shell casings disoriented me as they flew past my face. The smell of sulfur and destruction made me sick. The explosions — loud like a bomb — gave me a temporary form of PTSD. For at least an hour after firing the gun just a few times, I was anxious and irritable. Even in semi-automatic mode, it is very simple to squeeze off two dozen rounds before you even know what has happened. If modified to fully automatic mode, it doesn’t take any imagination to see dozens of bodies falling in front of your barrel."" http://www.nydailynews.com/news/crime/firing-ar-15-horrifying-dangerous-loud-article-1.2673201 Of course, this is his redone version AFTER being politely...and not so politely...corrected on social media about several inaccuracies in the original. There is also a link to his follow up in the posted link....albeit, more of his predisposed views surface. But, in reality, Mr. Kuntzman is aptly named. The smell of sulfur and destruction made me sick. wonder where that SULFUR is in a Modern Rifle Cartridge! |

Nonsense, all the mass shooters in the US were homegrown. And, no comment about the other two statements?I forsee a time, in the near future when new immigrants from the Middle East will commit attacks against the US using firearms just like the Orlando shooter did. Doing away with gun free zones will lessen the damage from such an event. An armed society is a polite society. ~ Robert A. Heinlein |
