Then go start your own thread, this is about gun owners who were shot with their own weapon while being struggling with an intruder......
I was responding to a post that said there were about 900 firearm deaths a month in the U.S. and wanting to know what per cent were homicide and suicide.

Then go start your own thread. You cannot provide data from a suicide, and add that to a discussion about gun control.....the person was going to kill themselves anyway....gun or not...
I definitely wouldn't call children being massacred NO REASON or the daily shootings and killings here with guns NO REASON to regulate them.
What would YOU call a reason for restricting guns or do you see absolutely NO reason to restrict guns?
What restriction just dictated by Obama would have prevented Sandy Hook?
Murder is illegal, yet those children massacred and the daily shootings happening still go on.
There is NO reason to punish law abiding citizens from owning their Constitutionally protected guns, by creating regulation and laws that criminals won't adhere to.

The anti-gun group will never understand this.....Chicago had 12 murders in the first 10 days of this new year....
"Guns in the Home and Risk of a Violent Death in the Home: Findings from a National Study Data":
"Investigating the Link Between Gun Possession and Gun Assault"
I have a few problems with the above research, this for instance...
"shooting case participants were significantly more often Hispanic, more frequently working in high-risk occupations1,2, less educated, and had a greater frequency of prior arrest.

Now let me see........................
ban ammo clips with over ten rounds.
improve mental health and health system in general so that people like the Sandy Hook killer might not even want to shoot people.
To be hones all of the measures now being put forward by the President could help cut down violent crime but to absolutely stop massacres like Sandy Hook............ sales of guns must be stricter and restricted to handguns and rifles for hunting........... that is how to prevent these massacres happening over and over again.
When you say punishing law abiding citizens by taking their guns away whar about the law abing citizens who are punished by having loved ones taken away because of the existant useless gun laws here. Punishing the law abiding citzens who have loved ones taken from them is OK but we must not take these guns that some here love more than the lives of people. Not sure you can put losing a gun above losing a child or a loved one.... or maybe you can.
