3. I would really like to see the raw numbers.

So with a gun in the home the death rate is what .0007%? I like those odds
I don't have a child and I know how to use a lock if I get one.
I am not a woman, I am not abused, nor am I an abuser.
I would really like to see the numbers on the more likely to be used in a homicide suicide or accident, it doesn't seem to jive with the first one.
How is it possible for homicide to triple and suicides to increase by a factor of 5 yet the first statistic does not even double?

7. Suicide is the worst argument for gun control.

I don't consider a woman having an abortion to be "murder."

It is the choice of the woman what to do with her own body, the same applies towards suicide. I consider it one of the most basic fundamental human rights.

The right to life must include the right to death.


My body, my choice.

4. No evidence of the same guns kept in the household being the same ones used to commit the murder.

Even on DU: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=118x334436


Turns out the majority were not killed with guns kept in the house. Oops!

But withstanding that, the same authors say that you shouldnt keep alcohol in your home: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/9268278

12. Didn't you know?

Guns are an evil totem that draw malicious spirits towards them. So even if the gun in the home didn't kill the owner the gun still attracted another gun.

13. I thought like charges repelled each other?

19. The person who drew this also thinks "Guns kill people" LOL

5. Nothing says "serious discussion" like a 6+ year old cartoon using Kellerman "stats"

So the gun control fans are reduced to recycling even older cartoons to support their side?

Great.

6. Got this thread locked in GD I see.

Don't get to flaunt the rules of GD so easily anymore do you?

[needledriver]

8. He doesn't get to flaut them either.

Flaunt. Flaut. Two different words. Two different meanings. Kind of like clip and magazine.

[petronius]

10. "Flout"...

[needledriver]

11. Uh, yeah. Flout.

I am flaunting my ability to flout the conventions of spelling.

16. next will be

[Lurks Often]

17. Looks like Skinner isn't listening to his complaining anymore

[beevul]

9. I recommend monofilament line...

I recommend monofilament line, a modern reel, and live bait.

You'll have better luck.

15. posting an old cartoon without any comment

must be getting hard to get some good Google cut and paste articles.

Any comments on your post or are you just going to ignore the group SOP again. I would think as a host you would be polite enough to abide by the group SOP.

18. Thanks anyway...It's a chance I don't have to take.

As for me and my family we'll err on the side of caution.
