Firearms. Yea or Nay?

[Lady's Human]

Absolutely, ES, where's the righteous indignation about guns?

After all, a life is a life, right?

Comments from Bobby Knight, former college coach in men's basketball.

1988 — In an NBC interview with Connie Chung, who asked how he handles stress, Knight says: "I think that if rape is inevitable, relax and enjoy it." He explains he was talking about something beyond one's control, not the act of rape..

Or, you can pull out a gun and shoot the jerk. I think that shooting the moron saved me some tax dollars. I like it when the public gets involved with the fiscal matters of government.

i'm on the bandwagon that guns don't kill people - PEOPLE pull the trigger- and kill people. I don't own a gun tho.

Doll,

Unless you smack the shiat outta someone with a gun.........Bullets do the killing!

[shais_mom]

but unless the trigger is pulled that bullet isn't going to kill anyone
altho notice I didn't say a PERSON pulling the trigger this time b/c even a monkey can pull a trigger.
and no that isn't a racial remark

awww Richard I know you me!

actually last year around this time we had a 12 year old boy hunting with his father and he was killed not by being shot by his father/ another person. But b/c where he had the gun that he'd used for years position when he fired the kickback hit him square in the heart, and caused his heart to malfunction and by the time he was brought to the ER a bloodclot had already formed and he died. So in that case it was a GUN that killed someone. Not the bullet.

You are so cute when you put words in my mouth LH! Of course, that is easier than say...producing these statistics you talk about!

[Lady's Human]

No, not putting words in your mouth, ES, I'm not going to take over your job.

You seem to do quite well putting words in other people's mouths, PT needs only one expert in that regard.

Once again, the statistics about firearms used in self defense are readily available.

Google, anyone? Again, I see no need to search fr a topic for someone when google will bring up plenty of intormation with a few keystrokes

Of course, if you actually did the search, you'd be one less thing to carp about, so heaven forbid you actually took it upon ourself to search.

50 million innocent people were killed today with firearms. Heck, now I understand how you do it!

(You are flailing and flinging now LH...)

[Lady's Human]

ES, again.

google "lott study" or "Lott report" or "Lott firearms study"

It's not that tough.

Or maybe it is?

They're not invisible statistics. It's willful ignorance on your part.

Tell me. What did you think of the statistics on the Academy of Pediatrics website? You know...the ones about how dangerous is it to have guns in the house if you have children? How teaching gun safety to children does nothing to increase the safety of children around guns?

Or are you just willfully ignorant of what the Academy studies say?

By the way...the Lott study, in addition to being over 10 years old -- is about as objective as the Slate Report.

Surely you can do better than that.
