lol.  I have a friend who moved to Texas several years ago.  ALL their friends have guns....and ALL their friends thing they are the weirdest couple ever because they won't get a gun.  It's so funny, because if they were still here...and HAD a gun.... it would be the other way around.

  Just to cloud the issue....maybe there should be some more statistics for NON-accidental deaths resulting from firearms.....compared to NON-accidental deaths by doctors.

  Total deaths by firearms is 29,569 and 64,389 injuries. (this is for 2004)  Can't find any stats on doctors' 'on purpose' killings.  What does this mean?  I have no idea....but it's amazing.

I've always felt that people who are very anti-gun should be proud of their position, and let everyone else know by putting this on their car or jacket:

If you're ever in Seattle, look me up and we'll go hit the range here.

I'd say that I should give the old guns a cleaning, and welcome some of you guys out to an hour or two at the range...  Revolver, semi-auto, even a semi-auto assault style firearm...   You'd have some fun, even if you've never fired a pistol before!
There is no safer place that you could be, than at a range...  And the behaviour that's expected there of everyone is 100% professional...

So... do you consider all guns to be bad?

Or would you say no to handguns and assault rifles.. But possible to long guns ie hunting rifles?

  Curious.

[SPAN style="COLOR: black"]FACTS TO PONDER[/SPAN][SPAN style="COLOR: black"]:  
(A) The number of physicians in the[SPAN class=apple-converted-space] [/SPAN]U.S.[SPAN class=apple-converted-space] [/SPAN]is 700,000.
(B) Accidental deaths caused by Physicians per year are 120,000.
(C) Accidental deaths per physician is 0.171 .
Statistics courtesy of U.S. Dept of Health Human Services.

Now think about this: Guns:
(A) The number of gun owners in the[SPAN class=apple-converted-space] [/SPAN]U.S.[SPAN class=apple-converted-space] [/SPAN]is 80,000,000. (Yes, that's 80 million..)
(B) The number of [SPAN id=lw_1191287581_0 style="BACKGROUND: none transparent scroll repeat 0% 0%; CURSOR: hand; BORDER-BOTTOM: #0066cc 1px dashed"][SPAN id=lw_1191294880_0 style="BACKGROUND: none transparent scroll repeat 0% 0%; CURSOR: hand; BORDER-BOTTOM: #0066cc 1px dashed; HEIGHT: 1em"]accidental gun deaths[/SPAN][/SPAN] per year, all age groups, is 1,500.
(C) The number of accidental deaths per gun owner is .000188.
Statistics courtesy of [SPAN id=lw_1191287581_1 style="BACKGROUND: none transparent scroll repeat 0% 0%; CURSOR: hand; BORDER-BOTTOM: #0066cc 1px dashed"][SPAN id=lw_1191294880_1 style="CURSOR: hand; BORDER-BOTTOM: #0066cc 1px dashed; HEIGHT: 1em"]FBI[/SPAN][/SPAN]

So, statistically, doctors are approximately 9,000 times more dangerous
than gun owners.
Remember, "Guns don't kill people, doctors do."

FACT: NOT EVERYONE HAS A GUN, BUT ALMOST EVERYONE HAS AT LEAST ONE DOCTOR.

Please alert your friends to this alarming threat.
We must ban doctors before this gets completely out of hand!!!!!
