Oh lord..we live in America..not China! Get off it

Most automobile deaths are accidental.
Better training would reduce the number of fatalities.

Can you say the same about firearms?

True, more training would reduce the number of fatalities (both with automobiles and firearms). As for the number of murders involving firearms; people who want to kill other people are still going to kill, if not with firearms, then with knives, clubs, even rocks.

Yes America has more murders with firearms then the rest of the West, however one has to remember that America has one of the highest populations of the West. As for your gun-grabbing countries, I want to see the data involving stabbings and beatings.

Yah, nice try Loren, stop being obtuse.
Is obfuscation really the only thing you have in your armory?

Your last post comes across like a monkey throwing feces.
Truly, I'm disappointed...I expected better from you.

No shit Sherlock. And guess which Western country leads by a landslide in per-capita homicide by firearms.

To illustrate what point exactly? Are you seriously trying to equate the use of firearms to stabbings & beatings? Maybe you didn't hear the news story about a madman in China who went on a stabbing spree (on innocent children) around the same time the Newtown massacre occurred. Want to venture a guess on the number of fatalities?

Never ever ever thought I would defend that smug prick Piers Morgan, but he's right.

Here's a question for you. Why do people want or think they need guns?

Do you mean all guns?...or just high powered assault weapons?

I mean any guns at all.

Fear of death. They equate owning and using a gun as a tool to ward off death.

I think people who have reconciled their own deaths, whether from sickness, accident, or otherwise, generally aren't that hung up about guns.
