Did you ever see the numbers on non suicide hand gun deaths in the US and the ten largest allied nations?

Most of the reported handgun deaths are suicides. We can't have people going around killing themselves can we. Smoking is bad for you. They tell me that in those anti-smoking commercials now. I see a small little mound of dirt that people are making a really big fuss over, because they say it is too big. They say this while standing at the foot of a huge mountain, which is perfectly alright. Smoking is bad, so we have to put a lot of tax on it. Tax is money. There is no profit is killing oneself with a handgun. That is VERY bad. Dying in a certian way can be VERY bad when there is no money to be made on it. Children who kill themself playing with an unattended handgun is a national tragedy. You can be arrested because you didn't have the gun locked up. But abortion, well, that is perfectly legal. I don't think people being killed by the thousands is really the issue here. It is how they are being killed. Follow the money. If a child's death was a national concern, the right thing to do is to focus on what is planting more in the ground. Abortion wins hands down. You wont see anti-abortion ads on TV. There is so much BS on TV and the news these days, it is basiclly a waste of time to watch it. Forexample, most of our oil comes from South America, while a small fraction come from the Middle East. We don't depend on oil from the Middle East. Eighty percent Venezuela's export is oil, and that is where the U.S. gets its oil. Yet the American public has to be conned into believing we need oil from the Middle east, to justify being involved over there. Go figure.
