The Problem with Gun Ownership (Blog Entry by dag)

spoco2 says...

My issue with legal gun ownership?

Deaths in the home:

* "In 1991 alone, 3,247 children and teenagers were murdered and 1,436 committed suicide with guns, and 551 died in unintentional shootings, according to the National Center for Health Statistics."

* 5.1% of the deaths of 5-14yr olds, and 21% of 15-21yr olds were by firearms

* In 2002, there were 30,242 firearm-related deaths in the United States, including 17,108 (57%) suicides, 12,129 (40%) homicides (including 300 deaths due to legal intervention/war), and 1,005 (3%) undetermined/unintentional firearm deaths.

* More than 700 women every year are shot and killed as victims of domestic violence in the United States, representing 20% of all female homicide victims.

Now I've argued with people on this before, and they've pointed at how many more people die from car accidents than firearms, while completely missing the point. You pretty much need a car to get around... you don't need a gun. Full stop.

No guns, not domestic gun deaths, no easy suicides by guns, and no children being shot. (well, nowhere near as many, look at the Australian stats on THOSE kinds of figures... we can all pick and chose our numbers you know).

I much prefer living in a society where I don't feel constantly afraid and as such feel I need a deadly weapon under my bed because I think some armed killer is going to come into my house.

I just don't feel that way and have NEVER had ANYONE I know face a gun in anger.

I Am The Walrus - The Beatles

Christianity in a nutshell

MINK says...

Yeah I have seen the light, and I am not Christian.

Instead, I believe that there are tiny things called Quantum Particles that appear and disappear at random ever since the universe was without size and spontaneously exploded because a man in a wheelchair with a funny computer voice told me so and he hasn't yet come up with a new theory which disputes this so I therefore believe his current understanding to be totally 100% verifiable.

/sarcasm

the Bible's a freaking poem, morons! You might as well say that the Beatles claim to be a walrus and an eggman.
