Nonsense. You can kill people with knives, rope, pushing and shoving, cars, tanks, bombs, nukes, water, poison, bad food, bacteria and sheer boredom. Getting rid of guns WILL NOT HELP with death by boredom. If you get rid of cars OTOH THERE WILL BE NO MORE DEATHS BY CARS. Your lack of logic once again show your inability to form rational thought processes and proves that rightwingers are all deficient in that area. <giggling ensues>

Liberal logic: Get rid of all guns, no more murders. Get rid of all cars, no more automobile fatalities. Piece of cake. Didn't work in Canada..... worked fine for many years when it was just hand guns and automatic weapons. They built a registry to register every gun, and it cost billions and made things worse

Get rid of all cars, no more automobile fatalities. Might not be a bad idea. It would more than make up for the deaths caused by terrorism. It would also reduce CO2 emissions. We wouldn't need to be dependent on mid-east oil. We would get more exercise by walking more; taking care of the obesity problem. We would tend to work closer to where we live, building a stronger sense of community and tolerance; crime would likely reduce. There would be a huge boom in small businesses to meet the needs of smaller communities. You're on to something.
