You omit the big category -- suicide. Now the fashion is to not only kill yourself, but take 20 people to the grave with you. Good luck with your violent punishment for suicides -- do you know haw many Americans blow their own brains out each year? We sell military weapons to madmen -- your concept of criminals no longer applies.

Do the math -- more than 100,000 Americans are shot each year. See the data below.

"There were 52,447 deliberate and 23,237 accidental non-fatal gunshot injuries in the United States during 2000. [6] Just over half of all gun-related deaths in the United States are suicides. [7] Of the 30,470 firearm-related deaths in the United States in 2010, 19,392 (63.6%) were suicide deaths, and 11,078 (36.4%) homicide deaths. [8]'

35,000 Americans shoot themselves on purpose or are shot by accident each year -- how is violent punishment going to stop these 35,000 from being shot? As more guns flood into the homes and streets of America, do you think more people will be shot this way or less?
