You're one of the people who would advocate abolishing all medicine because people are still dying of diseases, ignoring the fact that medicine, just like gun control, saves millions of lives. It's a typical logical fallacy of people ignoring statistics:
You have your comparison backwards. Thousands of people die every year due to medical mistakes. An accurate comparison would be to ban medicine and hospitals to stop that...while ignoring the millions of lives that are saved. That is the logic of gun control advocates.

Just look at the homicide rates for the US and France:

No need to go any further.....they all are....just look at the responses...
No, but a good start would be for the NRA and like minded groups to start an active public awareness campaign about safe storage and carry practices.
They have these campaigns like this but they have to only target NRA members through membership magazines and the NRA online.
When they have tried to use public media, they have been met with resistance.
Apparently, the media doesn't like the NRA.... who would have thought?
I don't see how "strict gun laws" are going to stop a gang of murdering idiots (terrorists is too fancy a term for them).
Over 1/2 of our homicides are based upon domestic quarrels. arguments with neighbors, etc. Strict gun control laws will certainly help. There's a myth that career criminals are the ones committing all the murders.
It's hardly often. It's quite rare, just like the WM accident. 300 million weapons and a handful of cases documented are hardly "common" and the opposite of "often".

LOL...yea....sure....it's not the gang bangers killing each other.......it's all domestic folks that do the majority of the killings....

105 homicides in DC last year. How many were domestics? How many were quarelling neighbors? How many were by criminals? I don't know the figures but I'm willing to bet that the vast majority of homicides in DC last year were carried out by criminals. Care to bet?
