Where are you getting that figure from?400,000 by smoke inhalation......
last i heard.....cigarette habits....Where are you getting that figure from?
If guns were treated like cars, you would have:
- - licenses for every firearm owner
- - licenses for every firearm
- - mandated safety measures that firearm manufacturers would be required to incorporate into their designs
- - a government firearm registry
- - periodic government inspections of firearms
- - mandatory firearm insurance
- - the police would literally hide in bushes watching firearm operators, looking for violations
2. I'm talking about your registration and annual sticker.
- I can agree to the firearm license
- No idea where you have to get a car license. Most I have to do with my car is get a registration and insurance.
- already exist
- what government do you register your car with? I have no such requirements for mine.
- dont have to get my car inspected. at all. ever
- agreed
- police would be wasting their time. most owners of firearms have no incidents at all.
For the tens of millions of Americans who own guns, their gun fetish is so overpowering and irrational that it doesn't even matter to them that a gun in the home greatly increases the risk--for the gun-owner, family members and acquaintances--of dying from a gun shot: http://www.bradycampaign.org/risks-of-having-a-gun-in-the-home This increased risk persists regardless of storage practice, type of gun or number of guns in the home: http://aje.oxfordjournals.org/content/160/10/929.fullWe do not have a "gun fetish" here in the States. What we have are people that enjoy owing firearms. The problem could be yours don't you think?
Cite your sources.i have read.....
more people die from drowning
we should fill in all the swimming pools
more people die from bicycle accidents.....
we should crush all bicycles
Cars are normally used quite safely, and have a non-injurious purpose. It's very rare for a sober person driving to a car to injure or kill someone.64,000 people die each year in car accidents.....
we should walk everywhere we go

Thus, the word “fetish” is actually too flattering to describe the relationship of American gun-owners to their guns. The reality is much more sociopathic.
The irrationality of owning a gun is that there are no benefits to gun-ownership--it only increases the gun-owner's, family members' and acquaintances' risk of accidental injury, homicide or suicide due to being shot.I fail to see this "so over powering and irrational" you proclaim.
that you do not accept them does not magically make the benefits go away.The irrationality of owning a gun is that there are no benefits to gun-ownership--it only increases the gun-owner's, family members' and acquaintances' risk of accidental injury, homicide or suicide due to being shot.
But....
I've been wondering a little about this. I would question insurance that statistically harmed my family more than it helped. There are plenty of reasons to get firearms but protection isn't a great argument unless its being carried around all the time. I have kids so......hold on an intruder.... I gotta get to my safe for a firearm.......01......34....hold on honey I'll be right there......I got this firearm for protection......that you do not accept them does not magically make the benefits go away.
That you are so bold with your false information shows your irrationality towards guns.
Well it depends on where your firearms are located. Nothing says you have to have only one firearm. Now before you make the point. We have no children, no grandchildren, children never visit our home.I've been wondering a little about this. I would question insurance that statistically harmed my family more than it helped.

I can get my fire arm out of the safe and ready to fire in less than two seconds from the time I get to the safe.I've been wondering a little about this.

I have children (no grand children yet), nieces and nephews in my home all the time and I am not worried about the firearms in the safes.Well it depends on where your firearms are located.

Yeah but almost everyone on this forum knows I don't keep mine in a safeI have children (no grand children yet), nieces and nephews in my home all the time and I am not worried about the firearms in the safes.
If you buy a gun, which I just did, please get some training on it as well as do some research and don't forget to practice. Owning a firearm might be a 'right', but it's an even bigger responsibility. I can't believe how much my aim has improved after reading a single book on marksmanship. I am considering adding a rifle as well as the pistol I already own.I bring this up because for some years I have wondered what would happen if stuff hit the fan and I needed something.
Valid point.Yeah but almost everyone on this forum knows I don't keep mine in a safe
