"16,000 gun deaths a year is a pretty good reason..... No it isn't, it is a meaningless out of context statistic. The context of American violence is 2,340,238 raped, murdered, and brutalized by their family, friends, and countrymen from 1998 to 2000. You chose to ignore the meaningful statistics provided to you by Tonto, showing the difference in Australia when guns were removed from decent and law abiding citizens. But to bring that back into focus, there was a drastic increase in armed robbery and assaults committed by criminals who did not comply with gun controls, even though there had been a gradual decrease over preceding decades in those crimes prior to the gun controls. When another person posted his concerns about decent and law abiding citizens becoming victims of armed criminals in Australia you declared that his post was evidence for him to be controlled. When I asked why, you attempted to insult me and ran away. Using "pretty good reason" and your posting conduct are oxymoronic venues. You are of course welcome to embrace change. That is, after all, the theme of the political season.
