Since it appears that the effective homocide numbers by guns are around 2,150, we need to advocate the banning of the following (using 2010 numbers):
1. Hammers & clubs as they account for around 500 homocides. No more nails please ... glue or screws only.
2. No more knives as around 2,000 homocides per year are attributed to stabbings
3. No more water, boats, swimming pools as drowning collectively takes around 4,000 folks a year. Admittedly, this is classified as non-intentional, which arguably makes it even worse since at least with guns, folks intend the results for the most part and there is roughly double that number resulting from humans in or around water and accidental events.
4. No more cars ... 1 out of 5000 die in a car crash annually in this country
See, the really smart folks on CNN and MSNBC who yell and scream every time there is a tradegy forget to point out the facts. What is their agenda ? Why disarm the populace ?
Any one going to venture the number of lives saved, crimes prevented or thwarted, property protected through the ownership of guns ???
Where's all the folks yelling and screaming about suicides? Where's the outrage over guns taking lives, although self-inflicted. I would think that the feminists would at least advocate for all the women in this country to maintain all their rights over their own body, even if that includes the taking of one's life. The feminist and slick politicians like Obama have ramped up the division and rhetoric with the war on women gimmick. If it's OK to take the life of the unborn, you know, the mom taking her own baby's life, then they certainly should advocate it's OK for just mom to take her own life.
