Who, in your life, would you be willing to sacrifice to keep your guns? (Clinton, economic)

[Mathguy]

Op is such a racist..

My friend if asked the question would be "my child" because one night in their rural area a career felon tried to break in and rape\rob\assault them with their young child home. Without a gun to defend themselves, police were 30+ minutes away.

The OP, and other posters, utter lack of diversity and ability to think of anyone living a different life than their own is the real problem.

Rich people, living in very safe areas with police 2 minutes away, not grasping how people live in the rest of the country. Such ignorance and again, utter lack of appreciation for diversity in all it's forms.

But hey, they need a scapegoat for 75% of the murder rate that happens in urban areas and disproportionately to minorities because of economics. Low paying jobs, lack of opportunity. Their solution? Allow millions of illegal workers to help keep such jobs low paying while blaming the problem all on everybody else.

Do we need to do the math for you or do we need to get a 5th grader?

Number of vehicles is needed to determine ratio.

There are approximately 400 million guns in the US.

There were also 40,000 car deaths in the US last year, with 3,026 suicides.

There are 269 million cars in the US.

So, the ratio of all car deaths vs all gun deaths are higher in the US.

Factoring out suicide, the ratio of car deaths is much higher.

Please show where you found the above statistics. Thank you.

Also, almost all car deaths are accidental wherein gun deaths are deliberate.

Reading comprehension, it'll do you wonders....






No denial, but when you have no idea what you're talking about and cannot back up what you state.....then those that do know what they are talking about get a pretty good laugh when the OP and people such as you show up to discuss....thanks....

Whatever other purpose would a gun have other than killing or maiming?

The majority of rifles are designed for hunting and target shooting.

Hmm, I use mine in competition and demonstrations.

To STOP a killing or maiming from happening in the first place.

Killing innocent silhouettes, pieces of paper and clay.

How many dots on paper must be shot before we put an end to this?
