Default O.T. The sick gun culture.

I feel really sorry for that poor little girl and her family. Some
judge killed too but who likes lawyers anyway?


As for Gabrielle Giffords I hear she was a gun advocate. Big friend of
the Palin nut?


Well there's, a good outcome at least. If still capable of cognisant
thought when/if she recovers, I wonder if she'll have a change of
heart.


I notice that no -one was able to "defend themselves" with guns and
the gunman was disarmed by a little old lady and a couple of passing
youths who sat on his head.


Sick half wits you gun loving lot are.


Hi,
My take on the issue. U.S. does not need to worry about thread from
outside. U.S. society will self-implode. Just too many guns and wackos.
Why one would need a Glock with a 30 round magazine?
How many people die every year from gun related accident?



Review the data, TV isn't much of a research tool.

How many people die every year from gun related accident?

In a country of over 300 million..........only about 1,500 or so.

Way fewer than:
car accidents (~40k),
unintentional poisoning (30k),
unintentional falls (~20k),
suicide-all means (~30k),
unintentional suffocation (~6k)

The lessons here?
Guns seldom kill the "unintended".
Stay away from cars.
Be careful what you put in your mouth.
Spending time on ladders & high places is dangerous.
Take the right anti-depressant.
Watch out with the kinky stuff.


cheers
Bob
