The obvious solution to sword violence is just more guns...

Cars are a form of transportation, not intended as weapons. Swords, like hand guns, were designed with one intention: to kill people.

We already regulate guns and now the liberals want more regulations on guns...but we don't regulate swords at all.

If 30,000 people a year were being killed with swords, I'm sure someone would be agitating to regulate them somehow.

Since you seem to be so concerned about the issue, why don't you?

Well excuse me but I don't see why car death is any better than sword or gun death. Are those lives worth less? Someone explain this to me.

The only reasoning I can come up with is that the benefits of car ownership outweigh the 40,000 yearly deaths.

Re-read the OP: numbers are irrelevant. So you would shrug at a mother who had her child killed by a sword?

A few deaths mean nothing to me. My advice to the people shocked at school shooting is this: SUCK IT UP. People die, even kids sometimes, and S***t happens.

Thank you for stating the obvious people don't want to admit exists.

Let me see... you were too dense to get it in your other fake thread, so you started another one here huh? Wow.

Let's get this straight... gun regulation is about stopping MASS MURDER. We don't have a problem with mass murder in this country when it comes to swords or martial arts or anything else you'll undoubtedly start a new thread about. Get a clue, dude.

I just want one of them to admit that they believe the benefits of transportation by automobile to be worth 40,000 deaths per year.

No, what makes you think that?
