Thread Name: BS: Anyone defend US gun law?
Subject: RE: BS: Anyone defend US gun law?
What makes me say stop this gun mania? The lastest figures for the US for 2011 are 32351 dead. You made a big thing of the Twin Towers bombing, starting a war and no end of other stuff. Yet this amounts to TEN 9/11s - every year - and you don't twitch. In the UK, we had just 44. The UK has a population about 5 times the size of the UK's: that means the mortality rate because of this 2nd Amendment is 150 times as high, grosso-modo. It means 30000 families have been mourning someone gone before their time, and all the consequences.
So, if you can't control the guns, control the bullets. That you can do. And unless you do so, you have no claim to any any moral authority over the rest of the world.
