You need the press to publicise the fact that there are 30,000 gun
deaths in the US each year,
Bull****. Bull****. Bull****. There's about 3,000 gun accidents
each year. There's 60,000 children hospitalized in bicycle accidents
each year. Why don't we outlaw bicycles?
Jeez sorry if I've upset you Holly....I'm only quoting from your Govt
figures
Those are bull**** figures that you pulled out of your ass.
Roughly 30,000 gun deaths. More than half are suicide, followed by
homicide and then accidents. "Legal interventions" are a tiny fraction.
If we look at age, 158 kids, 16 and under, died in 2002 in bicycle
accidents. 977 children died from firearms.
