"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."

If only we could save everyone from themselves. I know, let's pass every conceviable law we can think of so the world will be totally safe. The more laws we pass the safer the world will be.

The statistics show that it isn't a "few."
Since there are approximately 52,000,000 households with guns, then yes, it is a few.
Skepticism is not a position; it is an approach to claims.
Science is not a subject, but a method.

They found the gun when he farted and shot someone in the foot.

I believe that we should ban all guns. The common people are too stupid to own guns. Only the government should own guns. Anyone who disagrees with me about this is a gun fondling retard.

If we ban all guns, we wouldn't have any guns with which to arm the government.
