Temo: Re: What if the UK had free access to guns?

Übergeek 바둑이: I don't agree that violence is the driving force behind their profits. Most people who own guns don't ever use them except at the firing range. Violence may be a social factor but so what? People get stabbed all the time too. But certainly violence isn't the driving force behind the sale of knives.

Here's a fact often overlooked. Just remember: dead is dead

"According to Statistics, Facts and Quotes there were 30,694 gun-related deaths in the US in 2005 vs Fatal Car Accident, Crash Statistics: Stats Auto, Traffic, Car, Collision, Traffic showing 43,443 vehicular fatalties that same year. So guns overall are about 71% as deadly as vehicles in the US."

We value our freedoms in the US. I've lots of friends with guns and they've never shot anyone. It's a constitutional right to own a gun. It should stay that way.
