Guns really are the issue

No, Guns Really Are the Issue - TheStreet

In the wake of the Connecticut shooting last Friday, some numbers were being floated on Facebook (FB_): 10,000 gun deaths each year in the U.S. compared to 57 in Switzerland, 158 in Germany, 41, in England, 35 in France...

In his article for TheStreet Tuesday, economist Peter Morici notes some of the arguments against gun control, and observes that we can't police the problem away. We need instead to encourage a greater civility...

...Gun rights supporters love this argument: No amount of law can stop a crazy person hell-bent on destruction.

...True enough. But that rationale also overlooks the obvious: A law doesn't have to be 100% effective to be a good law.

Quit trying to force people to live the way you want to live. This is supposed to be the land of the free.

Guns kill people on their own about as often as keyboards type articles on their own. Never.

Guy in CT breaks 10+ laws and you nerds think the 11th law is the trick.

But the Left is against Abstinence Education because it's...



Wait for it...



NOT 100% Effective!

You have apparently given up on trying to form a cogent thought on your own and now resort to cut & paste statements of others. Even then, your logic fails: Comparing the gun ownership/death ratio in Switzerland with that of other European countries would suggest that these variables are inversely related. Finally, you demolish your own anti-school guard position by admitting that they don't have to be 100% effective to still be a good idea.
