American gun use is out of control. Shouldn't the world intervene?

[Harsh_77 718]

Yep.

Wow Dems are agreeing that paying for ID and getting an ID does not constitute as hardship for anyone to vote.

I am shocked.....

I've stated numerous times that I don't have a problem with voter ID laws.

You need an ID to do almost anything in this country.

There are pressure cooker, airplanes and personally themselves that have been used to inflict injury.

It is physiological for certain ppl to think guns are more dangerous, they would see gun on someone’s hip and would assume they are killers.

That doesn't answer my question.

There's no doubt that there are countless other things someone can use to inflict injury on someone else.

Why do you think they choose guns so damn often is there are so many other things that can get the job done?

Penny? what news from yer RCMP buddies? Are they planning an invasion into USA soon, to intervene with this 'out-of-control gun use' in the USA ?

[Penny Lane 8,159]

I didn't know I had buddies in the RCMP.

I think it comes down to guns being more personal. They see their victims die before their eyes.

If you're going to cut a tree down do you use an old hand saw or a chainsaw?

Is an old handsaw just as effective as a chainsaw, or does a chainsaw get the job done quicker and more efficiently?

I actually find guns far more impersonal.

You don't even have to be that close to the victim. You can fire a shot and get out of there without the victim ever knowing you were there.

Stabbing or strangulation is far, far more personal.

Exactly Penny. A gun is not personal at all. Killing with your hands is personal, a gun is the neat and clean way to kill someone, and also a more cowardly way.

Arson..... death by fire is often used and often harder to prove.

Arson..... death by fire is often used and often harder to prove.

Intentionally set fires generally result in less than 400 deaths per year.

Arson..... death by fire is often used and often harder to prove.

But generally requires much more planning.

[Penny Lane 8,159]

Of course. It's more difficult, more work, etc.

People choose guns because they're easy and they're EVERYWHERE. Not hard for ANYONE to get.

I was thinking bomb. A gun is far more personal.
