    How can anyone justify an AK47? Law abiding citizens don't want them.

    As usual, the media blows it. Actual AK-47 assult rifles are very, very difficult to get, and there aren't many in the US.

    ES, it's not that there's a magical age where it's "okay" to kill someone, but to say that something needs to be done to "protect the children" while using stats which include 24 year old adults is disingenuous at best.
    The one eyed man in the kingdom of the blind wasn't king, he was stoned for seeing light.

    Okay...so if it is only five children a day...is that okay? (And I found stats as high as 15 children a day are killed by firearms but choose to go with the more conservative number.)

    You quibble with the numbers to avoid addressing the issue.

    What is the number of children killed by firearms on average each day in the country that is acceptable?

    Regardless they aren't killed by the gun, they're killed by whoever pulls the trigger. A gun is an inanimate object, and cannot do anthing by itself.

    Riiiigghhhttt. Fall back on that old one!

    Like the kid who shot himself in the head at the gun show. It was his own fault! He pulled the trigger.

    ES, we will never, ever agree on this issue. Why, praytell, must you keep starting this argument?
