Coronavirus deaths in comparison work out at 98,000,- true that is more than twice as many, but gun deaths happen every year. Considering the lengths gone to, to stop Corona, isn't it time a total ban on guns was taken to bring the USA in line with what we consider to be a civilized society.

Still, my chances of dying on the open road is much higher than being killed in a violent crime resulting from a firearm.

Many firearm deaths have suicides in them which if you remove them and focus on the violent crime deaths then the reality of dying from a firearm death during a violent crime is much lower than dying on the open roads and you know this.

Also many of your violent crime deaths are in gang infested neighborhoods and if you look at that you will realize your are even less likely to die from a violent crime death with a firearm in Maine...

Gun violence in the United States - Wikipedia

en.m.wikipedia.org

Numbers do not lie and the reality is the numbers those like the Op'er and Old Lady love to use are padded with suicide deaths and not just violent crime deaths.

Why would someone not distinguish between suicide and violent crime?

Simple, if you actually use the violent crime number then it will show that more people die from reckless driving than by a violent crime in the States and if you dig even further into the numbers and look at gang killings which is most likely used by a person who did not have the right to own a firearm you would then see the flaw in their numbers.

The Federal Government along with State and Local governments have laws already and many times they are not used.

It is against the law to sell a felon a firearm, do a straw purchase and even commit murder, so how many more laws do you need to tell a criminal not to kill with a firearm?

“The United States has an enormous firearm problem compared with other high-income countries, with higher rates of homicide and firearm-related suicide.” ibid

That there’s a serious problem isn’t at issue – there is in fact a serious problem.

The issue is the wrongheaded notion that what the UK or Canada might have done to address the problem will work in the United States.

It won’t.

That’s why, again, comparing the United States to other high-income countries is as pointless as it is ridiculous.

^^^^ Compares Honduras with the exact same population number as Switzerland.

Guns don't kill peoples, peoples kill peoples. A gun is an inanimate object, there are many more law-abiding gun owners in America than there are criminals. Even if you totally ban guns there will still be gun deaths because criminals will ALWAYS be able to get guns, all you do if you totally ban guns is that means you leave ONLY the bad POS with a gun and deprive law-abiding peoples the ability to defend themselves.

There IS a reason why nearly ALL America's mass gun deaths occur in States that are FULL of Gun Free Zones.

The Swiss do not require gun ownership. Those doing mandatory military service store their guns at home, yes, and they are in the reserves for ten years, but they no longer get ammunition from the government. I suppose they buy their own. Very interesting country.

That's true. Going by stats from the National Gang Center, about half of US homicides yearly are done by gangs. But blacks aren't the only people who form gangs, Lucy. Hispanics, Asians, Whites--anyone at the bottom of the socio-economic ladder looking for some cash and some influence and protection from other gangs. It's a mess. BUT THESE PEOPLE ALSO COUNT. A lot of those guns they use are illegally purchased on the street or stolen. If there weren't about a billion guns floating around in the US, it would be a LOT harder to get one illegally. Even if you take away that half (which we can't, they are part of our nation and our culture), we would still be many times higher in gun homicides than any other "highly developed" nation. Because a whole stinkin' bunch of us still have a gun in the closet for when we get pissed off. Around here, over half the gun homicides here are domestic violence.
