Thanks, I'm going to read it as soon as I get home. It's simply beautiful outside, and I've been in all day.

Also... do I ever really get tired of any argument?

Nah.

Sometimes I do like a brief break, lol.

WOW! check out this statement from that link....

"Over the past 50 years, no civilian has ever used a legally owned machine gun in a violent crime."Even the illegal use of machine guns by drug dealers and other violent criminals is close to nonexistent. Since 1980, when the first Uzi was imported into the United States, not one police officer has been killed with an Uzi machine gun.


50 YEARS! What are we so worried about then?

To the thread: here is a link to statistics on ACCIDENTAL deaths caused by firearms, collected by the National Safety Council, which, as far as I can tell, doesn't have a political ax to grind. This organization collects every year, accidental causes of death, not intentional. Only useful for argument about children (and others) being killed accidentally.
