Anonymous Coward User ID: 29947307 United States 12/15/2012 06:35 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I noticed that you failed to mention that the vast majority of the deaths were gangbangers and druggies killing each other, and police shootings. But hey... 11,000 out of 330,000,000 isn't bad. Not bad at all. Freedom has a price. The alternative... a disarmed police state, where everybody is free to be genocided, or put into FEMA camps, "re-education" centers, etc... isn't a valid option. You DO know that all of the infrastructure has been put into place... Don't you? If AmeriKa is ever disarmed, MILLIONS and MILLIONS will die. Take your 11,000, and shove them up your rectum. And thanks for playing. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 29777209 United States 12/15/2012 07:11 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | No... people died when sinful, violent people decide to take a life. Guns do not have a will. People wanting to cause harm to others will always find away, but our guns in the U.S. are out protection. If teachers had guns, the man would have been stopped immediately, because he would not have even gone to the school. If people widely carried their guns and it was not challenged constantly, more people would think twice before committing gun crime, knowing that they are already surrounded. I pity the ignorant countries that gave away what they never deserved. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 29947307 United States 12/15/2012 07:26 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Especially since he fails to mention the ones killed by baseball bats, machete's and steak knives. If it's not guns, it doesn't mean that murders just stop happening. Murderers have a uncanny way of FINDING a way to achieve their objectives. Don't have a gun to work with, to accomplish your mass murder suicide? No problem. Just go get yourself some fertilizer, make a backpack bomb, and head off to kindergarten class. This whole notion of stopping murders by banning certain objects is patently absurd. You will end up having to ban just about everything in the world. Even bibles! In China, they'll beat a pastor to death, with a bible. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 2251942 United States 12/15/2012 09:23 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | According to the National Self Defense Survey conducted by Florida State University criminologists in 1994, the rate of Defensive Gun Uses can be projected nationwide to approximately 2.5 million per year -- one Defensive Gun Use every 13 seconds. Among 15.7% of gun defenders interviewed nationwide during The National Self Defense Survey, the defender believed that someone "almost certainly" would have died had the gun not been used for protection -- a life saved by a privately held gun about once every 1.3 minutes. (In another 14.2% cases, the defender believed someone "probably" would have died if the gun hadn't been used in defense.) [link to www.pulpless.com] |
