Guns: how much longer will it take ....

Quote:

Those countries have only a tiny percent of the gun crimes that we do.

Violent crime is also very heavily race related.
When I was in practice as a trial attorney, I saw every morning in court,
a line of prisoners in chains, wrist-to-wrist, looking like something
from the pre-Civil War South, with typically maybe 1 or 2 whites or Chinese
out of around 70 blacks, day after day, on their way to be arraigned. That is just eyesight.
The Europeans do not have as many blacks as we do.

"Gun crimes" are all that matters.


I can't help but laugh whenever I hear someone quote a "gun crime" statistic like they are representitive of anything important.

Perhaps people who are killed with guns are "more dead" than people who are killed with knives??

Oh, you had not heard that guns are more dangerous than other weapons?

I figured someone killed with a knife was just as dead as someone killed with a gun.

This is just simply FALSE.

For example, people are much more likely to survive a gun shot wound than they are a knife wound.

Well that depends upon the bullet doesn't it? Some of them rip open and bounce around inside a person, shredding everything including a doctors fingers.

Does tht include a drive-by knife attack?

Do drive-by attacks make someone "more dead" than someone killed in a non-drive-by attack?

I'm a Canadian, which one of our network lies?

I see you are now just going to wing it. That ends the conversation for me.

I don't know how dead one can be, but according to David, one can come back from death.

Which makes killing someone pointless..

It's hard for a classroom to defend against a hail of bullets....
but then again knives aren't nice either.

Gee, I wonder how many people would have been slaughtered at Virginia Tech were the assailant equipped with only knives. He killed over 30 with his guns.
