Better yet, explain to me why there is about 1 gun for every US resident and why such a low death count? I mean take out suicide, well can you do the math?

Yup,

Criminals = millions VS Innocent Civilians = 0

Lets enact more gun control so more civilians die. Makes sense to me. Morons.

E erg single time I have asked a gun hater to explain what they see as "common sense", I have been answered with slobbering insults to my intelligence, bugged out eyes, wild gesticulating, shouting, foot stomping, and general 3 yesar old style tantrums. There's usually something in there about the blood of dead children being on my hands, as well.

It would seem that "common sense" is wild emotionalism, combined with far flung extremes.

Call it a micro aggression.
wait, if we are talking a few million people killed, wouldnt that be macro aggression? wouldnt micro aggression at the state level be a few thousand killed?

The point is that history has shown, disarming a citizenry never goes well for them.

The chart is from the book Death by "Gun Control”, The Human Cost of Victim Disarmament, by Aaron Zelman and Richard W. Stevens, Attorney at Law

Here is a compact, downloadable pdf version of the chart:

if liberals are so in favor of common sense restriction, then they are admitting that ALL previous firearm regulation is not working and needs to be repealed at both the federal, state, county and local levels.

after all, we do not want laws on the books that are not working....do we?


or are liberals just admitting that they just want to control people more but do not want to get shot at while they are forcing people to do things their way?

Low death rate?


Why take out suicide?


Quote:
Americans are 10 times more likely to be killed by guns than people in other developed countries, a new study finds.
Compared to 22 other high-income nations, the United States' gun-related murder rate is 25 times higher. And, even though the United States' suicide rate is similar to other countries, the nation's gun-related suicide rate is eight times higher than other high-income countries, researchers said.
The study was published online Feb. 1 in The American Journal of Medicine.
"Overall, our results show that the U.S., which has the most firearms per capita in the world, suffers disproportionately from firearms compared with other high-income countries," said study author Erin Grinshteyn, an assistant professor at the School of Community Health Science at the University of Nevada-Reno. "These results are consistent with the hypothesis that our firearms are killing us rather than protecting us," she said in a journal news release.
