Molon labe, Joe.

On a per capita basis the US has one of the higher death rates from
firearms.

But on a per firearm basis, the US may be the safest country in the
world.Â* Fewer US firearms are ever used to kill anyone.


How many firearms does it take to kill one person? I always thought it
take many.


did not take many.

Pretty much the same as how many knives (1515 murders) or blunt
objects (443 murders) it takes.

The strange thing is you folks have your knickers in a knot about
"assault rifles" but more people are killed with bare hands (572) than
die from rifles, all kinds, including the "assault" ones (297).

Then look at the numbers for mass murders. 1 person killing dozens
doesn't happen often with fists or knives.

It is also an insignificant number of the murders but I suppose if you
are a racist, you would point out these are white kids so they matter.


So, you are admitting you are racist?

You were the one putting more weight on white lives than black. I find
the murders equally bad.


You brought up the race issue. I said nothing about it.

Thanks for making your racism so clear.


It was obvious. A dozen black kids get shot in Baltimore or Chicago on
any given weekend and you ignore it but a few white kids get shot and
it is a national emergency. What else can you call it?


It was obvious to a racist. I never said anything of the sort.

You are the one who said "Then look at the numbers for mass murders."

I am just pointing out, that is an insignificant part of our national
murder toll and if you don't see that, black lives don't matter to
you.
I understand calling someone is a racist is your go to tactic, no
matter what, but it is misplaced.
