    Are you saying that every person who has attempted suicide and failed eventually successfully commits suicide?

    Here's a short list of famous people who have tried to kill themselves. Like every...

    Nobody is saying that. But, yep, I guess illogical arguments need strawmen.

    Except for when the gun is place to one's head and fired, which is vastly more likely than ever using it to defend oneself.

    Yes, the NRA has most certainly done that.

    Kleck's work is very convincing if you're willing to accept the random numbers he's pulled out of his rear end.

    So, why wouldn't the NRA fund...

    If there was evidence that guns make any society (or individual) safer, why wouldn't the NRA encourage that evidence to come to light?

    If guns made us safer, the gun lobby could pretty much end...

    The NRA/gun manufacturers say guns make us all safer. But the NRA has blocked research attempting to find out whether guns make us safer. Why is that?

    I know why. Because ignorance is the key to...

    Please stop with the strawmen. I'm not saying the presence of guns is the only factor in gun deaths. But it sure as hell doesn't help.

    The NRA has spent a lot of time and money discrediting...

    It's hard to ignore obvious trends, unless, of course, you are intentionally trying to. The only reason not to compare the US to other similar nations is that you aren't getting the results that you...

    But you're not. I understand that you think you are. I guess there is value in that. Gun manufacturers and their proxies spend a LOT of money to convince you that you need to buy their product to be...

    You can't wave your hand in front of your face and dismiss the ENORMOUS body of evidence. You've got your head in the sand.

    Venezuela is a lawless state. We've been through this before. Every First World nation has more gun control than the US and every First World nation has fewer gun deaths.

    Instead of name-calling, why don't you digest the facts? You are less safe because of your gun. I understand it is difficult to embrace all of the overwhelming evidence that proves your notion...

    "The wrong people" often aren't evident until they kill someone.

    In every situation, every state, every country, every home....every person is safer when there are fewer guns.

    I appreciate that you feel safer, but you aren't. You are less safe because of your gun. So is everyone else.

    There is nothing at all sleazy about my point. Not only are YOU not safer because you...
