I can tell you this, there wasn't 30,000 murders attributed to guns either. Love it when Leftist try to sneak in Suicides as murder. No threat to me or anyone else if a person wants to check out early via Suicide, whether it's guns, pills, or jumping off a bridge. Their not called Lying Leftist for nothing.

What the hell does 'leftist' mean? What are you 5 years old or something? murder, suicide, gangs, black people, feckin cars - none of that bollox changes the fact that more than 30'000 people die each year in the US because of guns............and that is nothing short of shameful.

We are ok with people killing themselves. It's their choice.

We're not ok with one person making the choice for them.

Sorry - murder and suicide are not the same thing. Lumping the two together is what is shameful.

Or junk food or over the counter meds or prescription meds.
And I'd like to see a red flag background check on all alcohol purchases. If you've gotten a DUI, you can't legally purchase alcohol.

Nice try at diverting the argument, but no cigar. Apples, oranges. How about we ban kitchen utensils, after all, I could stab someone with a fork . Not many mass murderers climb a tower and kill people with a bottle of scotch.

When alcohol shoots up a WalMart, they will stop selling it.

Not with alcohol but as a result of alcohol use.

The gun crowd is looking at this wrong, actually. We already limit who can buy alcohol. You have to be 21, older in many cases than you have to be to buy a gun which does not make any sense to me. We also have laws against driving drunk and had a huge push to get more laws on the books from folks like MADD. Drunk driving has gone down over the years as a result. Most people who drink too much and get behind a wheel of a car wrongly thing they are fine to drive.

These guys who shoot up people at random pick up a gun for one reason, to kill. That's it.
