Several People Shot at Gun Appreciation Day Events

Not the stupid "let's ban cars" argument again! Yawn.

Cigarettes are self inflicted death and it's really hard to go on a killing spree with a carton of cigarettes. Great comparison!

So you don't care about people that have self inflicted death ? Hmm well then since the vast majority of gun deaths are "as you say self inflicted" then we need to look only at the real gun murder rate. That would drop our country way down the list.

Gun murder rate drops over 60% when you take out suicides. I know last time I made that argument you all wigged out, and said I was sick because I did not care about self inflicted gun murder. No you are dismissing cigarettes because you say , "hat is self inflicted".

Just when I think I understand you people ?

I wasn't poking fun at anyone who died for the record. I was poking fun in my post specifically at the goober that shot himself (but didn't die) while reloading his gun. The same way I found Barney Fife and his one bullet gun humorous (along with millions of other people).

There are an average of 8500 people murdered each year in the US by a gun, is that the number you were shooting for?

Heh. Shooting for.

That's not true. It's not even possible because you cannot take suicides out of the murder rate.

You are confused.

Nobody commits suicide by cigarette. Again you make stupid comparisons.

I think you need to take murder out of your statements for it to make sense. As to self-inflicted deaths, the A in ATF claims about 80,000 per year and the T has claimed over 400,000.

You said cigarette death is self inflected death. Your words not mine..

Very very long self inflicted death which gives people decades to see the error of their ways and they can stop and try and reverse the damage they've caused. There's no going back on a bullet in the brain. That's instant death. No taking it back.

If it was up to me I'd ban the stupid things too.

Well not to hijack the thread.. I hate them to but I like freedom. Smokem till you drop. Just don't ask me to help pay for you cancer care. Here in ga it is outlawed in eating establishments. I love going to a smoke free place to eat, but hate the fact it's forced. Let people vote with their money.

Not the first one!
