So you are implying Brain, that these 2 should be happy to take a knife to the stomach so that accidents with guns don't happen on campus......would volunteer for that trade....? The guy is still out there...you could go there and walk around with cash held in your hand......see what happens.....
I'm implying they have rules like this keep people from accidently being shot. I would take 2 stabbed people over a dead shot one.
Okay.......easy to say when you aren't one of the people stabbed........and considering in the whole country...of over 320 million people, with over 11.1 million carrying guns for protection, we only have 6-700 people each year killed accidentally with guns..........I'd rather let adults on a college campus carry guns.........
Yes only 6-700 hundred. Imagine if terrorists killed 6-700. Would be a horrible tragedy. But you just write it off like nothing.
That is over an entire year...and it is accidental........in a country of over 320 million people, with over 320 million guns in private hands with over 11.1 million people carrying guns for protection....
So yes the number is tiny compared to any other form of accidental death......
So please....each accident is terrible and tragic but the number is tiny, compared to the 1.6 million times a gun is used to stop violent criminal attack and save lives....
the 1.6 million is a made up number.
No, it is the average of 13 studies done by different researchers, both government and private over a 40 year period.....some done by anti gun researchers and some by anti gun government agencies like bill clinton's Justice Dept. and obama's CDC.....
