You're just showing that the NRA needs more donations to train more people. Thank you.

Re: Pro-gun article
Look, every death is tragic (though every one will die), but using those stats, in 2010, the US population was 308,745,538 , and there were 27,503 gun deaths. So for the sake of .09% of the population you are willing to surrender a constitutional right for the whole population.
a quick google of auto deaths in 2010 showed this: In 2010, there were an estimated 5,419,000 crashes, killing 32,885 and injuring 2,239,000. As far as I know there is no constitutional right to own a car, so by your logic shouldn't we outlaw them? from CDC fact sheet:In 2010, of the 38,329 drug overdose deaths in the United States, 22,134 (60%) were related to pharmaceuticals. so, do we stop prescribing life saving drugs? The list could go on and on I think, but the point, which I am sure you-G1- will ignore or miss, is that many deaths occur every year, most are not due to 94 year old people falling peacefully asleep never to wake up. We, as a society, should not so easily give up rights which were fought for, and written in to the backbone of our law because there were people who used or abused the rights and privileges our society has ascribed a value too. |

<SNIP>
Well, not every one. Child molesters? No. Serial Killers? No. Rapists? No. We've tried this numbers logic before, Obama spoiled it by using the "If only one child's life is saved" BS, so now numbers have no meaning. The argument won't stand because it doesn't fit the utopian narrative. More lives are saved than taken by guns. I'm only stating that to provoke the numbers people. |

Re: Pro-gun article
See if you can guess what I'm inferring with this story:
27 dead, 109 injured in knife attack on Kunming railway station A group of knife-wielding men dressed in black attacked Kunming Railway Station last night. At least 27 people were killed and 109 injured. Online postings by witnesses said the men began to hack passers-by “crazily” with long knives shortly after 9pm. The attack started outside the station and continued to the ticket hall. Gunshots were heard and Xinhua said “several predators were shot dead” by police. Also, expect Western news agencies to sanitize this report by using the local term 'Uyghers'. |
