The new format isn't too bad......

Looking at homicide by weapon type...

Rifles....455....with over 20 million AR-15 rifles in private hands...

Knives....1,739

Hands and feet......662

Hate to see how we will ban hands and feet......

Cars killed 39,107....have to ban them too.....

Then someone will be stabbed with a spork and we will have to eat with our combs....

Where the 11 deadliest animals in the US live

Deer, cows, and dogs are far more likely to kill you than mountain lions, sharks, and other wildlife that might look more threatening.

Animals kill about the same amount of people as rifles do. Pigs are close to the top of the list.

Guns are no way to die, just like this brilliantly acted dramatic scene indicates, there are much better ways to go.

According to your list, we need to ban Handguns

 

[Votto]

Excessive alcohol use is responsible for more than 95,000 deaths in the United States each year, or 261 deaths per day. These deaths shorten the lives of those who die by an average of almost 29 years, for a total of 2.8 million years of potential life lost. It is a leading cause of preventable death in the United States, and cost the nation $249 billion in 2010.

Prohibition anyone?

Yeah...but to be more accurate, isn't it wild boars vs...."pigs?"

To eliminate knife attacks/murders, all knives will no longer be sold to the public. Food that is normally chopped/cut with knives, will be pre-cut at newly established government carving substations and as an added bonus, all foods there will be pre-chewed for your convenience.

According to your list, we need to ban Handguns

According to anti-gun extremists...if 455 deaths by rifles......and not all of those deaths are by AR-15 rifles.....a civilian rifle by the way..........can demand over 20 million of them be banned...

Then, again..

1,700 knife murders means, by their logic, we have to ban knives...

Over 39,000 car deaths means we have to ban cars......

Over 8000 murders by handgun

You make it clear what our problem is

What is our problem?

Well let's see, the Patriarchal family? No, that would not cause that

How about systemic racism? Nope

Global warming?

I can't think of any positions the Left fights for that would address this problem.

I know, is it teaching children in schools morality and the Bible in times past the problem here?


Ding, ding, ding, ding!!

We have a winner

Over 8000 murders by handgun

You make it clear what our problem is

Then cars go too......over 39,000 deaths by cars and trucks........far more than by handguns.....

Good point
What are we going to do about car safety?
Require drivers to be trained and licensed
Require vehicle registration and inspection
Require insurance to cover anyone you kill
Arrest those driving unsafely


We need to do the same with guns

Nope......they kill over 39,000 people each year....if we have to ban over 20 million AR-15s over 455 murders, the cars and trucks that kill over 39,000 have to really be banned.

and yet, with all those requirements, they still kill more than do firearms.

Got another hole you'd like to dig?

Funny how you separate guns into multiple categories and put all vehicle accidents into one

Gun fatalities and autos are about the same
Only difference is we try to reduce auto fatalities

Over 8000 murders by handgun

You make it clear what our problem is

Much of the deaths by handguns is as a result of suicide. If someone is absolutely determined to commit suicide and you take away his/her/its gun(s), they'll still commit suicide. Nut job people that decided to kill themselves, also take others with them and crimes in the past, have shown that they don't need a firearm to kill many people, then themselves (either by their own hand or by the "suicide-by-cop" scenario).
