Thread Name: BS: Guns & laws in the US
Subject: RE: BS: Guns & laws in the US
Richard... you got any stats on that "moment of anger" thing? Got any stats on how many people have knives in their kitchen? Got any stats on crimes committed with knives? or baseball bats... or anything else?

The USA is not fascinated with guns. That is a simplistic statement which is unsupprtable.

The USA has a problem with supporting reasonable and effective gun laws. Doesn't anybody outside of the USA and Canada realize just how MANY guns exist in our countries? LEGAL guns... LONG guns. MILLIONS and MILLIONS. I sm only 55 years old and I put food on the table with a gun when I was a lad. Millions in NA still do so. Whay can't any of you antis get that?

We are on two VERY separate topics here... legal guns for lawful purposes and guns that people don't need and shouldn't have, especially criminals. The NRA is right. Guns don't kill people. People who want to ban ALL guns kill people.
