How many people are killed by those guns sitting around doing nothing?

What I said only refers to the fact that most people killed in both
cases involve someone not following basic safety rules.

For the purposes of these discussions you really have to take suicide
out of the mix anyway. (more than half of firearm deaths) That is an
intentional act and people will find a way to do it. The Japanese
manage to have much higher rates and virtually none of them involve
firearms.

Murder with a firearm is not an intentional act?

Yup about 11,000 a year.
There are plenty of judges who will tell you that EVERY accident
involves someone breaking a traffic law and that is an intentional act
too. 43,000 times a year.

I suppose you could toss out the fraction of a percent that are bona
fide equipment failures but there are plenty of lawyers saying that
was an intentional act too.
How much is GM paying for the ignition switches?

The comparisons with car deaths is an absurdity anyone who has taken
college level stats and logic courses will see.

Only if you started with something else as your conclusion and tuned
your stats to prove it.

It's the premise that is absurd...and so anything built upon that
premise is also absurd.

yawn...

You lost again, Krause.

This is rec.boats...rationality among the righties here in firearms
does not exist. Go play with your toy airplanes.

Yell us again about your gun harry. It seems to be your only interest
beyond working.

I don't discuss my work or most of my non-work interests here in
rec.boats. What's the point?
