1. I always said cars were over-regulated. n/t

[pipoman]

2. Yep, cars have been made much more safe with

Restraint systems, air bags, crumple engineering, DUI enforcement and penalty, etc. Bottom line, accident fatalities have been reduced.

Now guns....the vast, vast, vast majority of the 20k suicides annually are not accidents...those committing suicide do so completely intentionally....not a safety issue, it's a mental health issue....not an accident

By far most of the 10k homicides annually are intentional murders committed by people who are motivated to kill someone else...not an accident.

If we want to compare unintentional shootings to car accidents (you know, apples to apples), there has never been any comparison between the numbers ...hundreds vs. Tens of thousands is that comparison....

No, this isn't the firt time this false equivalency has been posted...it is just meaningless statistical manipulation as is the entirety of big gun control's statistical argument....

Oh...and....this is all assuming that the premise "more gun deaths than car deaths" is even true, which is a stretch since I don't ever remember seeing a single truthful statement come from VPC...they are demonstrable and serial liars...

4. Yes, and since murders and suicides aren't accidents...

...those people's deaths are way less tragic and their absence is not so keenly felt by their friends and loved ones.

5. How tragic they are has fuckall to do with anything

Comparing elephants to cotton candy is what the VPC is....apparently they capture the imagination of other logic impared...like the hair club for men, only more like the hairbrained club for the logicless....

[Jerry442]

7. If elephants and cotton candy were leading causes of death... NT

[pipoman]

10. What? Then it would be ok to compare both to moon rocks?

[Jerry442]

12. In a world where rogue elephants, toxic cotton candy, and falling moon rocks kill people...

Hmmm... Maybe I'll pitch that idea to Seth Rogan for his next movie.

3. Wow, 21 states. That's a tremendous statistic to publicize. nt

[pipoman]

6. yeah, especially if you like volleying false equivalence...

[Bernardo de La Paz]

9. The only equivalence is that there are many Preventable Deaths in both cases. nt

[pipoman]

11. Preventable how?

What is your plan for making people not want to kill each other? What about making people not want to commit suicide?

[Bernardo de La Paz]

13. Preventable by all kinds of means. it boggles the mind that you don't know any.

Yes, better mental health care reduces suicides, but also gun control reduces gun availability to mentally distressed people and reduces the effectiveness of suicide attempts.

This is obvious.

It is only one of many ways to reduce gun deaths.

Are you trolling us by asking such basic questions to which there are such obvious answers? What is your game?

[pipoman]

14. Only stupid people couldn't figure out it doesn't take a gun to commit suicide....

And nobody has ever committed suicide because of a gun...it is just dumbshit think like the "murders are caused by guns" idiots..help yourself

[Bernardo de La Paz]

15. I've already replied to your post 14 with my previous post 13. You aren't discussing. nt

8. MVA mandates emissions tests. Titles. License Plates. They haven't taken my Car away yet....
