Now Secretary of AlQaeda John Kerry drinks out of his skull

Quote:

"Those who give up liberty for security deserve to show their panties."
-Brock Samson



90% of gun deaths are suicides. 100,000s of crooks killed by cops and other gangbangers. 50,000 killed by Obama's Operation Fast and Furious that gave 20,000 assault weapons to the Mexican Mafia.

How many people genocided by their own govts in the past 100 years? 160-million. Plus 50-million abortions in USA.

The govts want to genocide 95% of everyone else.

Now give up your right to self defense.

Magons, I don't think ANYONE is "dismissing" car deaths in the slightest. We accept cars as a necessity of life--especially here in California!! Many of us would rather NOT, but we don't have a decent transit system--better than it was, but long ways to go--so there are few options. Doesn't mean we dismiss car deaths at ALL, and are all in favor of any reasonable methods of minimizing them.

We ADORED traveling in Europe; we went everywhere by train, occasionally by bus, and only once in three visits rented a car to go to a remote area of Locarno's "valls". HOW I wish it were even slightly like that here!! But here in CA particularly, people don't just "have a car", they have two--or three! I hear in movies and TV how people say "nobody owns are car in New York" and I'm envious as hell. Of course, for me personally, there'd have to be a way to go somewhere with my dogs (like dogs riding buses and trains in Europe), since that and going to the market are about the only times I DO use my car...sigh...

Which is precisely what we're talking about with guns. We accept them as part of life, we just wish we could minimize them misuse of them. When it comes to car deaths, everyone seems to be in favor of minimizing harm, keeping them out of the hands of drunks, children, crazies, etc. where possible, but when it comes to guns, which we DON'T need to function in society, not so much...

Mike, I would wonder what our gun buddies have to say about the minute percentage of guns being useful to PRESERVE life or prevent death, as opposed to the massive percentage of their use to do the opposite, but we already know the argument inside and outside, so why wonder...
