Funny stuff, Harry the self proclaimed gun nut arguing against gun
ownership. If he were really into statistics he'd analyze the
demographics of where these gun murders were occurring, and how many
of them were drug gang related.

He can't do that. It would be bordering on racism.


My comment was on the absurdity and inanity of trying to make some sort
of meaningful comparison between the number of car deaths and gun deaths.

Why is it absurd? They both kill a fair number of people. I'd
concede that the vast majority of car deaths are accidental but there
are quite a few gun accidents also. Someone pointed out that half of
gun deaths are suicides. So what? I think people should have the
right to terminate their lives. Subtract out the suicides and
subtract out the gang banger violence and what do you have left?
Certainly the mass murders which cause all of the media and political
hysteria are relatively small numbers.
