Re: The FAST Approaching Gun Ban
A gun nut would take that wonderful illustrative graph posted by Martin on the last page and say, "look at Mexico". Is that not proof that guns have NOTHING to do with gun deaths.

That is an illustrative graph. Let's copy onto this page so we can see it without going back.

I think I saw that map in my ninth grade geography/social-studies book (published in Texas).

Re: The FAST Approaching Gun Ban
Hey man, sure we enjoy killing each other, but the charts don't show it's mainly the lowest rung of society cleaning the bottom of the tank, taking out the trash. We also spend like three times more than the entire rest of the world on Defense; Nuclear Missiles, Cruise Missiles, jets, subs.
We're #1!!!
If you turn on the TV and there is sex and murder, that's a drama.
If you turn on the TV and it's sex and jokes, it's a comedy.
Guns have become a huge part of the US Psyche, would we be better off without them????
Of course we would.
How do you do it? Congress can't even agree to take Assault Rifles off the street!!! JESUS!!!

Here are a few excerpts:
"it is impossible to track suicides using news media accounts — and suicides, according to the C.D.C., account for some 60 percent of gun deaths. "
"Mostly we were trying to get a feel for the scale and scope of gun violence in America. A year later, it seems like a good time to take stock.First, the biggest surprise, especially early on, was how frequently either a child accidentally shot another child — using a loaded gun that happened to be lying around — or an adult accidentally shot a child while handling a loaded gun."
"There are an estimated 300 million guns in America, and that’s not going to change anytime soon. But to read The Gun Report is to be struck anew at the reality that most of the people who die from guns would still be alive if we just had fewer of them. The guys in the movie theater would have had a fistfight instead of a shooting. The momentary flush of anger would pass. The suicidal person might have taken a pause if taking one’s life were more difficult. And on, and on. The idea that guns, on balance, save lives — which is one of the most common sentiments expressed in the pro-gun comments posted to The Gun Report — is ludicrous.
On the contrary: The clearest message The Gun Report sends is the most obvious. Guns make killing way too easy."

In the U.S. you can be killed for playing "thug" music in your car.
