cars don't kill people, people kill people.
planes don't kill people, people kill people.
trains don't kill people, people kill people.

Complete waste of time inventing air bags and making our travels safer isn't it?

I mean why waste time saving a relative few peoples lives at the hands of planes, trains and automobiles with safety measures (Let's call it vehicular Control) at the expense of cancer research, heart disease etc etc?

Deeply offensive to say it isn't worth spending money on something where 'not enough people' die from it to worry about.

there are over 10 000 deaths per year in the USA due to guns, there are NO gun controls.

There are around 100 in Australia, there ARE gun controls.
There are about 120 in the UK, there ARE gun controls.
There are on average 8 in Japan, there ARE gun controls.

How many facts do you need to throw at idiots before they realise they are idiots and they are creating more problems than they are solving?

I'm talking of the NRA and the other idiots that support that 'more guns in circulation will control gun crimes' theory when the FACT that has already been proven that CONTROLS will only stop some fuckwit getting their hands on the mum's semi-automatic gun and murdering 20 6-7 year olds in a few minutes.

none of the proposed controls would have kept those guns out of lanzas hands. You need to check your facts. The only ones that WOULD have have been proposed by the pro gun people and subsequently ignored by the liberals.

Saying what I said isnt much of a stretch... coming from someone who touts the US as having "no gun controls" as a fact and that the gun controls proposed would have kept the guns out of adams hands... both wrong.

While yes, I embellished a little (ok I straight up wrote the words on cardstock and put them in your mouth), these are the roads I deal with daily in dealing with a bunch of yuppie liberals who are as much afraid of their own shadows as they are guns, so I jumped the gun (pun intended).

My apologies, proceed.

there are over 10 000 deaths per year in the USA due to guns, WHERE IT WOULD APPEAR THAT there are NO gun controls.

Apology accepted

I Apologise for being too general in my terminology ( which I have corrected above) and describing the situation from an outsiders point of view from a country whose laws mean that per capita guns are 10 times less likely to impact on our lives
