knives don't stab people people stab people!

But you're equating all deaths with deliberate deaths.  That's bad methodology.

In 2017, there were 40000 firearms deaths in the US, not 13 000.  24 000 of those were suicides, 14 000 were homicides, and the remainder were either accidents or legal interventions.

Deliberate vehicular homicides are a little tougher to research, but it seems pretty steady at around 3500 per year in the US.

This seems to indicate that, when someone decides to commit a murder, they are four times more likely to use a firearm than a motor vehicle.

Dunno about you, but it occurs to me that it might be sensible to place at least some restrictions on the number one murder weapon in the US.

No you don't.


You want to get rid of the scary looking guns.

It has nothing to do with facts or numbers.


You just want to get rid of the guns that cause your bladder leakage.

.....

Fact - handguns - with 38 special revolvers leading the pack - are the most common weapons used in the US. 

AK47s barely make the list.

Guess which one The Brady Bunch and their ilk want banned.

Hint - the bore size isn't .357.


But don' t worry - they' ll go after those too.

This may shock and surprise you, but I don't want to get rid of ANY guns.
