If you think that justifies gun deaths then you are a real idiot.505 accidental gun deaths is a huge number if you respect human life, which you apparently put below your right to own a gun.Because guns are not necessary in a civilized society. Too much room for human error. I live here in Ireland where most of the police do not carry firearms. That is really impressive.They shoot each other.
Aaaaaand the same is true of the black and Hispanic gang members here as well. Yet, you assume that the crime rates here are nationwide. They're not. Less than one tenth of one percent of all gun owners commit a crime with a gun. Why do you insist on punishing the 99.99% when you admit the overwhelming majority of gun criminals are illegal gang members?
What do you mean too much room for human error....in a country with over 320 million guns in private hands, the number of accidental gun deaths in 2013 was 505.....505....for the whole year. Our normal, average, armed citizen is incredibley responsible. We have over 12.8 million people actually carrying guns for self defense....and again...505 accidental gun deaths....
You really don't understand crime or guns. If you are really from Ireland that would explain why you don't know what you are posting about.
And as far as civilized societies go....Germany was one of the most civilized societies in the modern age, and in 1939 they murdered 12 million innoncent....unarmed people.
So with that history, how on earth can you say that guns are not necessary for people? 12 million people murdered, and they weren't all Germans, the French, and other countries just handed over their Jewish people and other enemies of Germany, for murder......all "civilized" countries at the time.
So........we tried it your way in Europe....and the governments of Europe murdered 12 million people....soooo...this time we will trust ourselves.......and try to avoid your mistakes.....
2000 deaths attributed to automobile CAFE standards, authored by you Leftwats, is a huge number if you respect human life.
How about we deal with the larger number of deaths caused by Leftists before we get to the 500 caused by gun accidents, shall we?
