Virginia is working on that issue right now as a result of the VA Tech killings.
Hopefully, we'll figure out or create a good way to ensure that people with mental disorders etc. are prevented from getting a gun. I would support a by-pass mechanism so that an individual is actually looked at by a mental health professional and a report given with judicial review, so that someone who is not a legitimate threat doesn't get screened out by an automated system with no recourse.
I bet that if guns never existed the same would be true with knives (that's if we assume you're telling the truth). Since criminals will always get guns from the black market why then should we restrict the citizen?
Your patently fatuous denial of reality is no argument.Guns cause more deaths than they prevent.
The statistics used by gun owners' rights advocates are surely not so bogus as those used by Kellerman.Why? Because guns used in defense are very rare in spite of the bogus stats from the gun lovers.
When this is truen they are killing an unarmed victim.More often it is a depressed teenager or an enraged spouse that uses a gun to kill.
What argument? That guns kill? CERTAINLY!It is a funny argument though.
Who makes this argument?"We need lots of guns because there are lots of guns."
Arguably, every time a gun is successfully used defensively, that use prevents a death--even when the gun isn't fired.Gun death can be lowered by regulating guns better.
Rational consideration of the facts, and your own statistics demonstrate you're wrong.Background checks, that sort of thing.
Several states have done it and it works.

Why do you insist upon isolating "gun deaths" from the [other kinds of] deaths that defensive gun use so very often prevents? Why do you prefer [some other kind of] death to "gun death?"

This chart shows that states with the loosest gun laws have the most gun deaths....

so Chris you dont believe a great many of your sources are somewhat slanted towards anti-gunness.....i mean i would not take as fact anything by the Brady people or a group calling themselves Washington Ceasefire....these people would claim squirt guns are dangerous.....
Who knows?
The husband having a gun made it easy for him to kill his wife and himself. That is the point. Guns make it easy for people to kill themselves and their family members.
Guns don't cause death. I've been around almost any kind of gun you can think of for the bulk of my life and I've never, ever seen a gun cause a death. I saw it almost happen once, in all those years. A round had a "hang fire" in a .50 cal. A soldier was policing brass near the gun and the round discharged. The round went down range, but the brass kicked back and hit the trunnion block shattered and hit the soldier in the hand. Could have been his head and if it was, it might have killed him. But that's as close as I've seen a gun causing a death.
Maybe you mistyped?
The state statistics came from the CDC website.
They are cold hard facts.
Chris does not realize someone has to pull the trigger......Apparently....
Geezus you are dense....
you're an asshole
