28 Dead After Shooting At Connecticut Elementary School

[Blade3562]

Charts like that make no sense. They are comparing any act of violence involving a firearm, including simple traffic stops. But it's just like DUIs/OVIs, it's a calculated risk. If you consider 10,000 firearm incidents vs the number of firearms, it's minuscule, less than DUI caused deaths by a longshot.

The ignorance displayed is just pathetic. It just shows the culture gap here is so large it will never be bridged. Another ex: Europe has how many speed cameras while the US is trying to outlaw them! The right to own firearms is something America was founded on when we broke away from England. The second amendment to the constitution and by far the best one. "the right to keep and bear arms" I do however believe firearm safety is severly lacking. I hate public ranges because people can be such idiots with something so powerful. Also on the culture gap, most of my liberal friends agree with my side on this situation for once. They actually think gun laws would hurt the public like I stated before.
