Rapper Ice-T (who is a US citizen and Democrat) understands what it's all about.

There is a simple test on how to tell a communist from a normal person:

Listen; I would never be a citizen of a country which allows firearms to be sold to people age 18 but won't sell beer to them until they reach the age of 21
Fucking lunatics!

Not sure why you bother to even continue to comment then....Unless of course you have a self-centered complex....

Hmm.. Can anyone help me find the stats for killings? Murder is when you assault. What about stats about those who defended themselves?

Murder and assault are two different things.

Murder and assault are two different things.

Assault is a lesser included charge of murder. Every murder involves an assault which is usually not charged because the murder is the primary charge. She's saying she wants statistics that show self-defense rather than criminal use of weapons.

Wanting those statistics is understandable but phrasing murder how she did is just misleading. It's like saying rape is when you commit battery.

I'll try to find those stats.

Justifiable homicide makes up a very small percentage of all gun related deaths.

[Ts RedVeX]

Small percentage?!

Let's consider 2010...

table 15: 232 justifiable homicides by private citizens;
table 14: 385 justifiable homicides by law enforcement officers;
table 11: 8775 murders by means of firearms;

So you have killings out of which 6.6% are justified homicides out of which almost 38% are done by private citizens and just above 62% are committed by law enforcement.

I don't know about you but my opinion is that private citizens are doing a damn good job defending their own asses with their guns.

Good luck with that one!
Apologies to any US citizens who don't support the "Gun lobby" for generalising in an earlier post

Yeah. Some of us are still sane.

[MrFanti]

Yeah. Some of us are still sane.

BINGO!!!
It's the INSANE person - not the weapon that commits the crime!

Thanks again for confirming this!
