In fact, their business case is built on the fear that the "wrong people" (young, colored folk) have 'em. Turns out the "wrong people" are the idiots who never take responsibility for the deadly force they own. Perhaps you should check out the stats from Chicago and some of the other big cities. Maybe the NRA has picked the correct population of 'wrong people' - inner-city druggies and gang-bangers, a large percent of whom happen to be black. http://homicides.redeyechicago.com/races/ Note that White includes Hispanic. Whoops, I suppose those stats make me a racist. |

Your arguments are understandable and reasonable but unfortunately are not supported by statistics. The vast majority of gun owners know how to handle, use and store firearms safely. The accidents are by a very, very small percentage of owners, not a "large percentage" as you state. The accidents are in the news every single day. Toddlers to the aged. Happened again today in a suburb of Seattle. Dead. Every single day. We're just talking accidents. No mention of legal gun owners going sideways or berzerk for a hundred different reasons. Washington will pass stricter gun control laws in November when it's put up for a vote. One nice thing about having billionaires in the area who support common sense causes. Love watching the gun fondlers in the area go apoplectic when Gates drops another $1M in the kitty. I'm sure there are many more millionaires on the other side of your "cause". |

You think schadenfreude is an appropriate response to this guy's death? Should I celebrate that poor idiot's demise because it supports my concern for pairing idiots and guns? No, seriously we don't expect you to take a consistent stand... |
