30,000 people a year die because of guns in the US, Shel. That's not even beginning to look at the number who survive to one degree or another. How many Americans were killed with biological weapons last year? Or swords???
I get your point but I think you are being a little disingenuous.
People die in car crashes all the time but at least we take steps to license drivers and register cars. Second-hand smoke is cited as causing 3,000 deaths a year ( a tenth of gun carnage ) and you would think it was a major health scourge. [/i]
