Gun Banning perspective...
There are those in this country, perhaps even some on this board, that think a complete ban of all firearms is the way to go after the shootings last week. Even though I don't think it will happen in my lifetime, the country is headed down that road with each new piece of legislation and regulation concerning firearms...give an inch, take a mile.
Anyway, we know from government numbers, that there were 9,484 firearm related homicides in 2008. Source According to that mentality, banning guns would have saved roughly 9,500 innocent lives in one year. What if I were to tell you that I know how to save 13,846 lives from violent deaths?? What if there was something else we could ban from society's use that could actually save roughly 47,000 lives each year?? Would you be willing to ban that item in hopes of saving these lives?? Click here to see what I think would help society more than banning firearms... It's certainly something I could completely do without, and never miss it.
