You're comparing a gun to a cartridge used to start an antique tractor which not a farmer on this planet is probably using in this day and age. Sorry but that doesn't hold water. If they shot the tractor with a shotgun and it started I would be impressed. There is also a .22 cal cartridge which is used to drive nails which is a great tool I've actually used but again it's not a gun. So you're comparing apples and oranges.

look closer at the breach loading shotgun on the wildcat. its a shotgun without a stock and operates the same way as a gun.

Here's the problem with people who want to put the blame on guns. They think by removing guns you're taking away the main instrument of murder. But it's not the gun! The instrument of murder is the mind of the person who wants to take a life. If the mind wants to take a life, it will find away with or without a gun.
Those of us who defend the gun know this fact and therefore put the blame where it belongs, squarely on the person who chooses to take a life or lives. professor

So do I read you right, that certain people shouldn't have the right to be in possession of a gun?

But the problem is, the gun makes it so easy for potential murderers, druggies and all manner of lunatics to go out on mass shooting/killing sprees resulting in more multiple murders than by any other means.
It's unfortunate to say, but it's highly likely that it'll be only a matter of months, perhaps weeks or days even, where the world will be hearing tragic news about more incidences involving guns outcoming with the needless loss of innocent lives sigh

Why don't you look at the government statistics of some of the other countries. Look at the rise in crime and the types replacing where the best defense is all but removed.

The gun isn't just for personal defense. In the U.S., that right was to ensure the people could defend against it's government should the people need to use it. The more defenseless the people are, the more power and control the criminal element gains, including government.

Look up the leading causes of death in the U.S. So far at least to 2015, guns don't even make the top 15. Possibly not even the top 20.

i dont know about the usa but the leading cause of annual global deaths has been stokes and heart attacks combined. today the leading cause of deaths (murder) is 41 million abortions (ongoing each year.)

41 million murders globally each year and some people think guns, inanimat objects, kills.

There isn't any way to stop every person that intends to do harm. Many, no one would suspect until they do. Taking rights away from the majority is NOT the answer.

You're right about that. It's an example of how far the government will go to NOT protect life. Especially if they have other purposes. Euthanizing will be up soon. Gotta get the population down and then some.

The CDC has a break down for the leading causes of death. National and by state. They list the top 15 from because that's the last search I pulled for. It looks like it only goes to 2015 so far.

Suicide ranks but fire arms aren't listed in the national top 15.

I suspect you might find some states that rank fire arms in there some where. I've only looked at the national average so can't say for certain.

Health related seems to be the top perpetrator.

Who was talking about the "leading causes of death in the US" ?. These were natural causes of death and not violence related. Why not enlighten yourself and look up "Gun violence in the US". This tells the true story about the deplorable results of Americans love for guns. Then again, maybe Americans feel they need to keep guns out of a sense of fear ?.

"It is the lack of guns in the hands of the victims that allowed the murderers to kill these people. Had they had guns then they would have been able to protect themselves and most would have survived."

Riiiiight,! If these people (kids) WERE ARMED THEY COULD HAVE STOPPED Adam Lanza from killing them and they'd be alive today.

You'r so against guns but there's nothing to back the number of lives lost for some bad apples. Every thing to back up how much further south things can go in favor of many other crime hikes.

It's not a major killer. Gun statistics by themselves is completely blown up and out of proportion as far as death rates and causes of death. That's how people get wrapped up in lies. They one part.... and RUN with it!!

You can live in denial if you want to. I prefer to go with reality.
