@firefly,
Quote:One study, reported in Southern Medical Journal in 2010, found that a gun is 12 times more likely to result in the death of a household member or guest than in the death of an intruder. Another study in 1993 found that gun ownership creates nearly a threefold risk of a homicide in the owner’s household.
Quack conclusions from quack studies.
Quote:it’s also true that guns are more likely to cause tragedies than to avert them.
No it isn't.
Quote:David Hemenway, a public health specialist at Harvard, says that having a gun at home increases the risk of suicide in that household by two to four times.
Quack quack quack. Does he fly south for the winter?
Quote:But in the same spirit as what we’ve accomplished to make driving safer, President Obama has crafted careful, modest measures
Nonsense. All he's trying to do is violate the Constitution as badly as he can possibly get away with.
Thankfully we have the NRA to protect our freedom, so he can't get away with it at all.
Quote:If we could reduce gun deaths by one-quarter, that would be 7,500 lives saved a year.
No it wouldn't. They would just be killed with other weapons, and would be just as dead as the people who were killed with guns.
